Mike Pence is a confused "Christian" at best, a devil at worst, as he carries a message to Israel of hate that is sure to kill Palestinians. It is with dismay I see this man use his Bible as the basis for choosing hate, and war over love and peace.
The United States just committed to a single state "solution" for Israel, against all hope for a Palestinian homeland. Peace talks are now ended. A state of permanent war has now been established.
It is a wishful notion that building an embassy in, and stating the capital of Israel is Jerusalem, can aid the negotiations for "peace" or more likely DOMINANCE and SLAVERY.
I fear this Tweety move will drive the poor Palestinians to extreme terrorism and a suicide pact.
"Pence speech rife with biblical references rocks the Knesset"

VP Pence’s Biblical speech to Knesset met with multiple standing ovations.

"A devout Evangelical Christian, Pence paraphrased Psalms: “The USA is proud to stand with Israel and her people, as allies and cherished friends. And so we will pray for the peace of Jerusalem, that those who love you be secure, that there be peace within your walls and security in your citadels. And we will work and strive for that brighter future, so everyone who calls this ancient land home shall sit under their vine and fig tree, and none shall make them afraid.”:
SAD, as Pence overlooks the most important teachings of God and Jesus to sow the seeds of war.
"US decision on Jerusalem looms large over Mike Pence visit"
Israelis and Palestinians will be closely watching every move US Vice President Mike Pence makes during his two-day visit to Jerusalem. Will his presence stoke tensions even more?

". . . the planned address also drew criticism among Israeli-Arab lawmakers who will boycott the speech over the US policies. "This is a dangerous man with a messianic vision that involves the destruction of an entire nation," Ayman Odeh, head of the Joint Arab List coalition, wrote on Twitter.Pence, often described as a devout evangelical Christian, will also address his own support base back home in the US. "The evangelicals are one of the greatest supporters of Israel, maybe more than the Jewish community at the moment. In that sense, this is the hard core base of the Trump administration," says Gilboa."
Why do people think they are being "Christian" when they support harming people? How can THAT be "Christian?" How can siding with either side be "Christian?"

Once again, religion is used for cruel and hateful purpose. These "Christians" virtually best the other side bloody.
I am spiritual, and as a child was religious. But my religion was from the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount, not from the hateful and ugly parts of the Bible.
Mr. Pence, you would be a TRUE CHRISTIAN if you try this:
"Matthew 5-7New International Version (NIV)Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount
5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.
The Beatitudes
He said:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

BAD people cherry pick the man-made document, the book titled "Bible," and it can be used for good or evil. That is the shame of organized religion that uses the bible.
Israeli, and now United States via Tweety and Mike Pence, have chosen abuse and murder of an entire people, the Palestinians, by building an Embassy in Jerusalem. Tweety/Pence has created a morass, joining all the religious zealots on both sides to beat the drums of war. Killing is the only response to such hate.
"Parliamentarians walk out of Israeli Knesset to protest Mike Pence speech as security shoves them."

" . . . these are elected members of the Israeli parliament or Knesset. They held up a sign to protest Mike Pence’s speech and the anti-Palestinian policies of the Trump administration. They had previously discussed/planned walk out, but several were pushed out of the Knesset by security."
THIS is how Israeli Jewish Parliamentarians treat the Knesset Parliamentarians. Plan for worse as they are emboldened by the US support for hate and killing.
