Jerusalem – On Thursday, a legion of right-wing demonstrators, estimated in the Thousands, convened on the Western Wall in a call for the Israeli government to end its participation in the ongoing talks with Palestine headed up by U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry.

Several prominent rabbis and political figures, including Housing Minister Uri Ariel were in attendance.
Billed as a “gathering for anguished prayer,” protestors called for an end to what they termed the “Kerry edicts,” and through public prayer and speeches urged israeli government leaders walk away from the mounting pressure to agree to a Palestinian state.
Earlier in the day, Jewish Home MK Moti Yogev told Israeli Radio before heading out to the protest that he saw traces of anti-Semitism in the motives behind Secretary of State Kerry’s actions.
Yogev said, “The prime minister is maneuvering under the obsessive and unprofessional pressures that might also bear an undertone of anti-Semitism on Kerry’s part.”

Anyone who knows John Kerry will tell you that he has not an iota of anti-semitism in him You may legitimately disagree with his strategy for achieving a long-term peace but these idiots who see anti-semitism behind every proposal the disagree with are the true sources of such hatred of yidden.
Wow! It’s amazing to think that they would have peace talks at the Western Wall.
Wow so many unemployed jews in Isreal…..!!!
This has to be one of the best (and funniest) posts I have ever read!
thanks, I needed that!
#2 – The peace talk weren’t at the wall lol. Oyyyy
#3 – You never left work for 30 mins or an hour to go do something?
Oops. I do believe that many women were there. What? No pics?!!
According to insider sources years ago at Heinz Inc. revealed that for the CEO (Heinz), the hardest decision he had to make was when they had to take the OU on, as for Jews to stain the Ketchup.
What is with the trombones? And why aren’t there any frum Jews there? Who are these people?
This article is deficient in reporting the important arguments put forth by the demonstrators for their anti-negotiation position. Readers would be better served by a more thorough job of news-gathering. This presentation gives the impression of all emotion, no thought.

To #8 , why no grum people, first of sll i notice lots of frum ppl in the photos, maybe not many black hats.
And the reason is because as long as the black hatters get the Money for their Mosdos from the government they dont care if u gave back all of Israel, so long as they dont need to help protect the life 217;s of the Yiden in Erets Yisroel, and so long as you give the permission to spit and throw stones at little children for not dressing the way they want thrm to, other then this most black hatters dont see more then 5 inches in front of their noses.

Some 350,000 fellow Yidden (mostly shomrei Torah u’mitzvos) are faced with the possibility of expulsion from their homes, for yet another so-called peace treaty not worth the paper it’s written on, with the result that Islamic radicals may have the capability to shoot rockets into the Old City if not all of Yerushalayim (including, of course, Meah Shearim), let alone fire rockets at civilian airliners … and all some of you can think to post are snide and sarcastic comments? Must cynicism and negativism prevail even in such circumstances? Do the commentators think for a moment that HKBH appreciates such comments during such trying times,and that they will not have to answer for these public comments–which stay on the internet forever–after 120 years?
I would be rather surprised if any of these men were blessed enough to actually give to a charity to make their protest heard in Torah. I am surprised to see the faces of the many who are squeezing life out of healed consideration for a limited experience. This is not Torah and this is not honor.
