10. But check this,,,
Julius   (01.22.18)
A Jew born in "Jerusalem, Israel" won't have this on his passport. This is a "Twilight Zone Marathon" where the borders are not defined. This is a place Herzog, the opposition quotes Micah, reads Isaiah 2:4 as if it is Micah.
11. clever and just facts
Michael Kogan ,   Paris   (01.22.18)
Surprised at The reactions to this clear and precise article.
12. PENCE VISIT: A RAP
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED RAP HOUSE   (01.22.18)
Yo ,more rap,so just close your trap, This visit by Pence, makes little sense, that's just alon pinkas' 2 cents, the visit by Pence makes me all tense, pence is called " nice, cheap at twice the price, the president vice, so go drink some beer, cause Pence is always welcome here ,aint nothing to fear.
13. Bad Guy. Hurt Israel. Hurt Israelis.
David ,   Israel   (01.22.18)
Pinchas.
14. VP Pence is sending a strong message
C   (01.22.18)
he is telling the entire world that president trump's recognition of jerusalem
as the capital of the sovereign state of israel is non negotiable.
there is nothing that the united nations, the european union or the
arab league can do about it.
vice president pence is telling the arab palestinians and their leader
abbas that continued insults of president trump and continued
obstructionism will result in severe punishment.
he has told king abdullah and president el-sisi that the good will
of the united state can no longer be taken for granted. good
will must be reciprocated.
15. why is this nice man paying us a visit?
robert saunders ,   Pueblo   (01.22.18)
He is visiting to demonstrate the determination most Americans have towards supporting and protecting and advancing Israel's success in the world.

The Palestenian statehood issue no longer occupies center stage even in the ME. Peace as the result of an agreement between the Palestenians and Israel is a long-ago fairy tale which, as fairy tales go, is based on nothing but fairy dust.

Idiotic artcle
17. BI- POLAR
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto -Kiriat Gat   (01.22.18)
Reminding Pinchas as defender of Israel in front of Israel deligitimization , but now totally flip flap of personality, as what is motivating as public servant : political correctness blend with self denial Jew or to unite in front of the tribulations??? Seems not care about nothing else from egocentric gratification??? same as Lapid this type of "professional" politician are not suitable to lead or comfort Am Israel
18. Kudos to YNET....
Koose E Mack ,   Great Satan   (01.22.18)
I think it's so wonderful and generous that you allow the mentally challenged to write articles for you. Clearly the authors of this article have lost their minds or were mentally unstable from youth.
This article is pure Shiite!
G-d bless President Donald J Trump and VP Mike Pence.....Learn how to be a mentsch from these two great men!
19. Here is another one
Oleg ,   Milwaukee   (01.22.18)
Definitely New York influences people minds. The author is complete lunatic.
20. In the Middle East perceptions matter
zeeiv amitay ,   Stamford CT   (01.22.18)
Pinkus forgets that in the Middle East perceptions matter a lot. Shortly after taking the oath of office, Obama visited Cairo, Riyadh, Baghdad and Ankara – but not Jerusalem (which he visited only in 2013, four years into his first term, most likely for electoral purposes after Mitt Romney dubbed it “the 2009 apology tour”). I’m sure Pinkus is pragmatic and will agree that Obama’s shunning of Israel despite long-running ties was picked up by the Palestinians an indication of his leaning towards them and encouraged the continuation of their maximalist – thus unproductive - strategy. Mr. Pence’s visit injects one additional dose of reality into the Palestinian’s fantasy and similarly signals support for Israel and that the Palestinians maximalist demands hit a brick wall.
21. You are correct Alon Thank you
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (01.22.18)
I can't believe Bibi and the rest who cheer on a vice president who serves under Trump who accepts the fact that there are good people in the Neo nazi parties. No one can deny it. He said so publicly. Israeli government prostituting themselves. We'll kiss anyones behind as long as they move their embassy. Jerusalem has and will always be ours. We share it openly and peacefully regardless of where an embassy is located.
22. This was a much needed article Thank you
DOV ,   USA   (01.22.18)
23. Pinkas, get help.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (01.23.18)
24. To think Pinkass once held prominent position
Pinkass ,   Jerusalem   (01.23.18)
When you hear a fool like this it helps to
Understand the horrendous mistakes
Made in the past by Post Zionist fools
Like this guy and that cost so many innocent
Israeli lives Pinkass lost his Jewish soul
Somewhere and I don’t think he’ll ever
Find it maybe it’s in Ramallah
25. Pinkas a Barak supporter and a loser
HesNoLongerRelevant ,   Jerusalem   (01.23.18)
26. A braying ass with a sour pickle
Ilan   (01.23.18)
Pinkas is nothing but a BDS advocate and a promoter of rape
27. By this logic no one every needs visit
Mordechai   (01.24.18)
Really everything could be done by phone so I guess lets never have any foreign leader visit.

The real problem seems to be that the US VP visited and supported Israel and didn't do the usual attack the government and demand the left be put in power instead
28. Pence is a Good Man
Tova   (01.26.18)
angelical Christians like Pence are very pro Israel. More supportive of Israel than Jews realize. Evangelical Christians have been supporting Israel for many many years. They have helped build our hospitals, feed the poor, support Aliyah programmes, Evangelical Christians work together with many many Jewish organizations in assisting Jews all over the world. Evangelical Christians are completely different for Catholics. It was these evangelical christians that assisted Jews after WW2.


These were the christians that saved jewish lives and are recognized at Yad VaShem.
