3. The Kotel belongs to ALL Jews
The argument is often made by people defending the Orthodox position regarding Reform and Conservative worship at the Kotel, that Reform and Conservative Jews are not represented in Israel--most live outside the country--and therefore they should not get what they want. That is irrelevant. The doings of the Kotel are not dependent on the state of Israel or who lives there. The Kotel does not belong to Israeli Jews only, or to the state of Israel only, or to the Orthodox Jews only (wherever they come from). The Kotel belongs to ALL of the Jewish people--wherever they live. If there are disagreements among ALL the Jewish people--there have to be respectful negotiations to work things out--not appropriation of Jewish-owned places by some Jews only. And--the chances are that no one group of Jews will get everything they want as a result of negotiations--and they will all have to live with a certain disappointment *respectfully* towards their fellow Jews--and stop all the slurs. The slurring, insulting and appropriation of what belongs to all, all tend to come from certain parties. The next time those parties accuse other Jews of "sinat hinam" (the gratutious hatred among Jews which presumably caused the fall of the Second Temple), they might want to look in the mirror first.
