The Waqf’s rejection may present an obstacle for Israel which has tried to defuse tensions with more liberal streams of Judaism who have demanded the right to pray at the wall according to their customs. After three years of negotiations, Israel announced the creation of the new prayer area last week.
Any changes to the hilltop compound, holy to Jews and Muslims, stoke tensions. The Western Wall is the holiest place where Jews can pray.
The director of the mosque compound, Omar Kiswani, said Sunday: “We will never accept it.”
Kiswani said a complaint was filed with Israeli police and further steps were being considered.
Now Hillary and the world will be ok when we move the ladies minyan, because it will upset the Muslims.
Oy, what are the Women Off the Wall going to do now? Will they challenge the Imams and other Moslem religious authorities who are out of step with the women’s egalitarian outlook?
It is about time for israel to show who are the rulers of jerusalem.
Since when do these chalerias, – and I don’t mean the women of the wall, I mean the filthy muzzies, have a דעה in where we can daven?
Hashem as many shluchim.
If the Israeli government doesn’t have the power to get rid of these sick women, Hashem sends Arabs to do the job. How embarrassing this must be.
All feminists who only feel relevant with men functions need to see a psychiatrist since no doubt they have a very low self-esteem.
I wonder how Jewish their husbands are and if ‘they’ ever put on tefillin or even pray.
Oh! Time to make a gay parade at the kotel too. BB is getting crazier by the day with his flip flop leadership. What a hypocrite!
A reatarted land!! Women with tefilin. The worst happenings in a Jewish Land. Despicable!
They look like clowns !!!

shoin ingantzen mashugah!
Aaaaaaaaaajust like when Ehud Barak was ready to give up huge portions of Israeli land to the palis, Hashem made arafat ys”v turn it down! He saves Israel from her leftist G-does leaders in many ways!
The poor tefillin are crying due to the abomination being carried out on them. .
There is a certain percentage of the women who would like to be men, just like there is certain percentage who are prone to gambling, alcohol, prostitution, anger, etc, etc. Hashem should have rachamim on all of us. Hashem please cleanse us and or our beloved ones from all of our impurities.
