Frumak who removed Obama's Kosel petek clip

Is this frumak who removed and publicised Obama's Wailing Wall note a hero or a low life - or both?!

Personally I think it is VERY wrong to remove any persons prayers from the Kotel. But I will not judge anyone in this case because I was not a witness nor do I know the facts besides what is presented to me by the media. What good was accomplished by publicizing it anyway? The prayer was not outrageous as to disqualify him from the presidency. I will not think very long or hard about this. I still think it is wrong to remove prayers from the Kotel.

At least Obama didn't mention Yoshki in his petek, unlike the Pope in 2000!

How can one judge him negativly (The Jewish guy).

 And not only for the fact that I dont like Obama, but I also hate the fact that that place of worhsip was turned into this media thing. Cant Jewish Holy places be left alone without all these people going there, expecially with the cameras, and I didn't like even the fact that he was heckled there because why should these things go on in a place that Jews pray.

Tzvi,

This I agree with... It was wrong to use the Kotel as a campaign stop. But are you saying that this justifies exposing his prayer?

I dont.. No matter how much I despise obama.
