1. DON'T LIKE THE FUTURE I SEE.
Abraham   (06.26.17)
I think that in the case of women who want to do certain mitzvot such as wearing tefillin or talit, they are confusing mitzvot with feminism and egalitarianism, but that can not deprive them of the right to carry their Judaism as they wish and yet with the right to do so in A public space, because the Kotel is a public space. On the other hand, it is extremely outrageous that people who are not Zionists and who do not want to send their children to defend their homeland have the power to decide in public affairs in an antidemocratic way. If this situation persists, in the future we will not differentiate ourselves from Iran.

Yirmeyahu ,   Raanana   (06.26.17)
Jewish / Judaic state implies a religious preference to Torah over any rival religion; but does NOT imply a rabbinic or Rabbanut state (except in the minds of uneducated rabbis and Rabbanut with their uneducated mushroom followers who politicize a Dark Ages European-assimilated "Torah")!

Politicizing religion... I've seen that mentioned somewhere
3. THE LAST DROP
Robert ,   Israel   (06.26.17)
Mr. Bibi, you failed to most of us, israelis. Start thinking if it hasn't come the time for you to go back home. With this last drop you spilled the glass !!
Never thought you became so weak.
4. People just forgot
Jim ,   London   (06.26.17)
that the Kotel is no travesty theatre for your own ego!
5. "Jewish leaders, mostly from the United States"
C   (06.26.17)
the reform movement wants to despoil the jewish state and turn it
into a new america.
were they to succeed, judaism would die.

it was the orthodox and the hassidim who kept judaism alive for over
two thousand years during inquisitions, pogroms, genocides and
the holocaust.
israel is a jewish state, residing on jewish land, protected by a jewish
army which fights every day for the survival of the state.
every year, just before yom haatzmaut, the number of dead are
published. and every year, I am shocked by the numbers.

the diaspora, especially in the us, better wake up and realize
that without the jewish state, there safety will not be guaranteed.
even the lbgt community is discriminating against jews.
the great physicist, richard fynman, was not admitted into
columbia university because he was jewish.
a jew is never as free or secure as in the jewish state.
6. This small group of rabble rouser
Heshy Friedman ,   Brooklyn ny   (06.26.17)
These women of the wall group are rabble rousers looking for media attention
The reform are falling apart in America. Their membership is falling quicker than quicksand. These are the same people who support Obama and hillery with Iranian nukes.
7. CONFUCIUS SAYS :
CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (06.26.17)
" If it aint broke ,do not fix it ...."
8. EGALITARIAN SHMEGALITARIAN
THEODORE HURTSEL ,   SAFED HONESTY   (06.26.17)
There is no such thing as egalitarian ,it is just an empty word. This word is supposed to mean that everybody is equal but that is untrue .Why is it untrue? Because nature is unegalitarian ,unequal ,unfair. Some people are born beautiful ,others are dman ugly . Some are tall ,others are dwarfs .Some people born healthy ,others deformed .Some rich ,others dirt poor . Some of us are male ,and others are female. Jews and Gentiles etc
9. TO PM NETANYAHU :DO NOT TRY
ALBERTO EINSTEIN ,   SAFED GENIUS   (06.26.17)
Sir, one can please some of the people all of the time ,and all of the people some of the time , but never try to please the jews , because it does not work , just ask Moshe Rabbeinu.....
10. BLACKMAILING THE PRIME MINISTER
DONALD THUMP ,   SAFED HONESTY   (06.26.17)
It is rude , infantile and spiteful to cancel dinner with PM Netanyahu and also counter-productive . These jumped-up jewish leaders are trying to blackmail Netanyahu and also those of us who actually live here in Israel ,and these leaders can take the proverbial hike. The Wall is just fine as it is .
11. THE WALL ,WHAT IS IT ?
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED RAP HOUSE   (06.26.17)
The Western Wall is a holy site for jews , it aint no social club meeting place .Yo wanna go socialize ? go do that some other place .
12. JEWISH LEADERS
NUTTYAHU ,   SAFED HONESTY   (06.26.17)
These leaders can take a long walk off a shirt pier.....
13. HORSES FOR COURSES
ALBERTO EINSTEIN ,   SAFED GENIUS   (06.26.17)
If a man wants to fish , he goes to the sea or to a River. When a man wishes to pray ,he goes to the Western Wall .When a man wants to be egalitarian , he dances on trucks in Gay Pride parades in Tel Aviv and Beersheva.
14. JUST BUILD THAT WALL
DONALD THUMP ,   SAFED PRESIDENT   (06.26.17)
15. Dont U get it its NOT Judaism Its Radical Feminism
Reform2Assimilation ,   Jerusalem Israel   (06.26.17)
Reform Jews here or in America could care less about the Kotel or
the Temple Mount more likely to have a Yoga Class or a lecture
on Feminist Radical History on Shabbat than services they are a bad joke , sad truth we have lost most American Jews but lets be clear it was their choice they ran not walked away from the faith of their ancestors and
tragically as in past history of such Jews many have metamorphosed into monstrous 'Self Hating Anti Semites of Jewish decent" don't bring that ugly self destructive phenomena here please !
16. Jacobs has just excommunicated himself & Reform from Israel
BackToFifthAvenue ,   Jerusalem Israel   (06.26.17)
Jacobs has delivered the final separation blow in the name
of his Reform membership from the people of Israel by insulting the
Prime Minister of the only Jewish Homeland the lines are drawn
Reform Jews will have to decide whether the are first
"Reform" or are they Jews. Reform has metamorphosed into a sect
of an Extreme Leftwing Social Engineering Movement with little
or no relevance to Judaism. This was the formal "excommunication "' of
American Jews from their people they did this of their own free
will. Good luck to them in the ever growing Anti Semitic America
and its especially growing in their own Leftist "Humanist" Camps
Universities African Americans Hispanic Americans they will
only now have one choice to slip into the radical Self Hating
movements of" former Jews" people of Jewish decent ' Good Luck!
Jacobs and friends can pack their suitcases and return to the
White Elephant Temple Emanuel on Fifth Avenue at least
till the last" Reform Jew" puts the lights out there and locks
one more Temple door for good.
17. A MODERN STATE....
FO ,   Belgium   (06.26.17)
A modern state can't exist under religious coercion. A state can't be called democratic if there isn't separation between religion and state. As long as there is no separation between religion and state in Israel, calling this country a democracy is rather a joke!
