Vice President Mike Pence has been visiting Israel and speaking with officials, including Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu about matters of security.
While there, the Veep made a traditional visit to the Wailing Wall, a vestige of the Second Temple of Jewish antiquity.
Pool reporters were ganged up behind the obligatory twisted ropes for photo ops and to shoot questions at the white-haired, sleek vice president as he honors the historic Wall where millions come annually to pray, put in their requests for healing or other benisons, and feel the aura of holiness.
Unfortunately for some of the female reporters and correspondents in the pack, it seems the males shouldered their way to prime places, leaving the female press to scramble for optimal locations.
One woman, Tal Schneider, was disappointed and upset that she could not get to the front of the scrum. She tweeted her annoyance.
A colleague asked if this was a problem, indicating that Israel did not make enough effort to ensure the distaff side of the media crews were given adequate and equal space for the best photos and question lobbing.
In reality, this is a complicated issue, and involves decades of jockeying between the Orthodox and the local Reform or “frei’eh,” irreligious factions of Judaism in Israel. It also involves, because of extended sympathies, liberal Jews in the U.S., who are barely even dictionary Jews, since they have, for the past 30 or 40 years, been bedazzled and bewitched by the bottom-feeding contrarian liberal ideologies that reject authenticity in religion, or anything approaching traditional faith observance,

Jesus said something about lengthing phylacerties, and seeking places of honor at the banquet.

It also involves, because of extended sympathies, liberal Jews in the U.S., who are barely even dictionary Jews, since they have, for the past 30 or 40 years, been bedazzled and bewitched by the bottom-feeding contrarian liberal ideologies that reject authenticity in religion, or anything approaching traditional faith observance!
It is not just the Jinos but our CINOs and atheists in our population, who behave and act in this rude manner.
This past Saturday my wife and I went to a funeral service in a main line protestant church. The church was packed, and yet probably only a 1/3 participated in the service besides being there physically.
My wife was upset, and I told her my theory of anti church atheists which sounds like your theory.
On the same morning, one of our adult sons and his lady friend attended a friends’s funeral in a Catholic church 25 miles away.
They where here yesterday evening for dinner. I told him and his lady friend about what we saw in our church at the funeral we attended, and my theory which is basically yours.
He and his lady friend agreed with me. They saw the same behavior 25 miles away in a Catholic Church. About 1/3 of the people attending joined in the services. The rest were just there, and some apparently didn’t look that happy.
My wife who sometimes is too strong of a believer in her fellow and unknown humans was stunned.
She has talked about it this morning and is now agreeing with our son, his lady friend and me.
Two funerals 25 miles apart and in two different Christian churches with the same responses from the non believers in both churches is not a coincidence.
Sorry, but I must pick nits here: didn't you say this was a funeral? Are people *supposed* to look happy at a funeral?
