Why? Because Orthodox Judaism, like any fundamentalist sect, has antiquated beliefs. In this case, it’s that women may be unclean, menstruating, and the men don’t want to be near them. The ultra orthodox sect has too much power, and they won’t allow mixed gender prayer.
The day after Omar’s remarks, the United Nations concluded that Israel had violated international law and potentially committed war crimes by responding to a fresh wave of Gaza protests in 2018 by killing 189 Palestinians, including 35 children, three clearly marked paramedics and two clearly marked journalists, and injuring thousands. U.N. investigators noted one death of an Israeli soldier and injuries to eight others but rejected the government’s claims that the rallies ― aimed at Israel’s blockade of Gaza and refusal to let over a million registered refugees there return to their historic homes ― were overall a military operation.
The next day, Israeli forces again shot at demonstrators at the fence between the country and the Gaza Strip, wounding 17. Some protesters involved in the new “Great March of Return” campaign that began March 30, 2018, have used stones and devices like incendiary kites, but their leaders have urged peaceful activism, and Israeli forces have in many cases attacked people too far from the fence to cause harm.
On the day to day, religion does more positive than bad. It brings people peace and solace in hard times, and gives purpose. I’m a die hard atheist, but have no problems with religious belief. My issues are when there’s systemic shit like in the Catholic Church, wars over it, or someone tries to pass laws based on belief. Still though, it is a positive for most people.
As for the Western Wall, who fucking cares if there are segregated prayer areas on a 100 yard stretch of rock 5,000 miles away? It’s pretty inconsequential. It will change once Bibi is gone. He buckled to the zealots back in 2013 over a mixed prayer area.
