Tits and Balls With Sarah Silverman

The Guardian's Harriet Sherwood's factual and reliable reporting:-

Thousands of Jews pray every day at the Western Wall, the last remnant of the retaining wall of the Temple Mount, pushing scraps of paper bearing handwritten prayers into the cracks between its ancient golden stones. Men and women are forbidden from praying together; a small section of the wall is cordoned off for women.

The site, known to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif, is also revered in the Islamic faith and is the home of the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa mosque.

Well, since that's in an article about the Women of the Wall, too bad she didn't mention the Islamic prohibition on Jews praying at Judaism's most sacred site, the Temple Mount.

She could have at least noted that Jews on the Temple Mount are worse off than women at the Kotel.


P.S.  Sarah Silverman's tweet was this:

@SarahKSilverman
SO proud of my amazing sister @rabbisusan & niece @purplelettuce95 for their ballsout civil disobedience. Ur the tits!
 

which prompted me to write


@ymedad
so that's the "Woman with the Balls with the Women of the Wall"?


P.P.S.

To be clear, I support in principle the aims of WOW.  I only hope that any gain they achieve will assist my rights on the Temple Mount (see p. 9-10 here).
