Jews Protest at Last Supper Site Ahead of Visit by Pope Francis

I'm starting to think the Jews are as intolerant as the Muslims. Faith needs to be eradicated. But I hate the idea of a war against God.

They protested when Pius IX was beatified. They protested when Pius XII was declared venerable. Neither of those events were halted due to their protests, and neither will this.

It's not a war against God, She is pretty cool, it is a war against those who try and warp Faith into obedience to their secular plans. :peace

And hence you've fallen for exactly what the OP wants you to. It's not that he's all concerned over our (meaning me and my Christian breathren) Christian feelings, he just hates Jews (and wants everyone else to as well). Meanwhile, a bus load of school girls have been abducted and you won't hear one single word from the OP about that.

What does either of these have to do with a pope traveling to Israel?

I gave an answer to the OP's question, and gave a historical basis for my answer.
 
But internal matters of the Catholic church don't have anything to do with a pope's foreign travel.

They were examples of the Pope not bowing to pressure from non-Catholics.
 
I am not sure why the Jewish people would be occupying the site. Perhaps they are concerned that a site so important in Christianity is literally right across the alley and upstairs from the King David memorial. It is a moving moment to be able to be inside, though it seems rather plain. Though the room, and even the building are not the original, it is historically believed by Christians that upon this place was another structure where the Last Supper took place. Below is a picture of the current room that is the subject of this thread. I took this picture when backpacking through Israel last February.
