Rahm Emanuel Sheds Tear at Kotel
inn ^ | 5/27/10 | Gil Ronen

Posted on 05/27/2010 6:05:18 PM PDT by Nachum

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was photographed as he appeared to shed a tear at the Kotel (Western Wall) Thursday (see photos below).

President Shimon Peres hosted Emanuel with his wife Amy and their children, Zach (13), Ilana (11) and Leah (10) in the Presidential Residence Thursday. Peres gave presents to Emanuel's wife and children and taught Zach, who is in Israel to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah, a lesson about the weekly Torah portion.

Rahm Emanuel is as much as a Jew as Goebbels was a Catholic. Israel should throw that piece of filth out of their country.

Tiny Dancer teared up because he was HECKLED at the Wailing Wall. He can dish it out, but he can’t take it. Buck up Buttercup- we’re just getting started.

He’s crying because he didn’t get a chance to offend the state of Israel even more.

They point out that “to our sorrow” during the last year, President Barak Obama’s tenure in the White House, “You have worked against the State of Israel and the Jewish People”. They remind Emanuel of his recent comment to Israel’s consul general to Los Angeles, in which he is quoted as saying “I have had it with the Israelis”.

“You are not the first Jew in history trying to advance himself at the expense of his people. There were traitors before you such as Josephus Flavius and others, who in all likelihood also celebrated their bar mitzvah but we remember them as traitors, seeking riches and honor, at the expense of their people.

Rahm Emanuel and his son have been publically branded as traitors and warned not to come to Israel for the Bar Mitzvah.

As usual, Emmanuel disrespects religious statements and has thumbed his nose at all concerned. Money trumps decency, doesn't it.

They were tears of joy because he knew the taxpayers were picking up the tab.

Today, har HaBayit had two abominations on, or near it. The mosque, and the man who councils the enemy of Israel, Rahm-not-Emanuel. The man is disgusting. The only tears he sheds are for himself.

Rahm Emanuel and his brother, Mengele, are Kapos not worthy, IMO, of being anywhere near Israel. He and his Fuhrer are doing their best to destroy Israel.

The thought of that hypocrite in Israel makes my skin crawl.

Behold a Kapo puke! He stands there before God after all he’s done to destroy Israel along with his false God Zero and he thinks God will forgive him. I wouldn’t bet on it.

Rahm’s upset his MOSLEM backers haven’t bulldozed Israel.

He’s stressed b/c when he gets back to the WH, Omoslem is finally making him sit for his Koran exam.

It is the glory of G-d to conceal a matter....

perhaps Rahm will remember that he is a Jew.

He should shed many tears...he’s been a turncoat on Israel and America. Yes...there’s alot for him to be sorrowful for; just don’t know how he’ll get around being a detestable human being.

Is there some reason why people can't post the word GOD? I have read posts like this "It is the glory of G-d" and other posts with "G-d". are you ashamed to write the word GOD?! What is wrong with spelling GOD in all his glory?

Wake up sheeple! IT'S GOD!

No big deal that Emanuel prayed at the Western Wall. After all, his boss Obama did likewise in June 2008. I'm sure the photo will appear on Emanuel was also greeted warmly by the doddering Shimon Peres, as was Obama, IIRC.

BTW, can anyone decipher the writing on Rahm's yarmulke? That photo will be useful for him in Jewish neighborhoods when he runs for mayor of Chicago in the future.

I’m just praying that he remembers he is Jewish - in his heart/soul not just when looking at poll numbers.

he probably put a request in the wall to get out of the sestak mess and God answered with a resounding no. brought a tear to his eye when he heard the response.

Are the security guys Israelis or part of SS? I’m assuming Israeli. Does the WH Chief of Staff get taxpayer funded security?

I believe the extradition treaty is as other western nations. Israel has sent various criminals back to the US for prosecution. A few accused have been sent from the US to Israel too.

I have the feeling Rahm is being set up to fall on his sword over the Sestak deal. And, like a good capo, he will.

Looks cheap like something maybe handed out if you don’t have a Kippah of your own like paper hats for the purpose of praying at the Wall.
As for Persky, it is long past time for him to be gone.

I can tell you what it should say on it but I might get banned.

I am surprised it didn’t catch on fire and take him with it. Hashem has a special punishment for that traitor.

“can anyone decipher the writing on Rahm’s yarmulke”

It’s a quote by Ronald Reagan: “Tear down this wall.”

Of course, Rahm likely has the two walls confused in his leftist mind!!!
