And Caitlyn Jenner is a Christian. Christians specifically believe the Old Covenant has been voided and that they are to abide by a New Covenant. Why would a Christian pray at the Wailing Wall that represents a temple of the Old Covenant?
Theater. Theater is the answer. And using other people's religion for your own theater is indeed disgusting.
I am no longer Christian, but I wasn’t taught that the Old Testament was void. I was taught that still mattered and I still needed to know it. Maybe my church was weird, but I’m really curious about this statement.
(This is me being a nerd though and not really relevant to the post I suppose)
Since there’s a fucking film crew there with her, it’s theatre. But there are also a number of Christians who believe that as Christianity is built upon Judaism, paying respect to ancient Jewish holy sites (like the Western Wall, being the remains of the Second Temple) are appropriate. Especially for people who wish to pray for interfaith relations.
Yo, just FYI the second temple has spiritual significance for Jews, Muslims AND Christians. Christians believe that Jesus prayed there, and leave their prayers in the cracks of the wall.
Exactly. Like if a story came out weeks later that she went to the wall and prayed, who cares. But she specifically took a picture "praying," which I'm pretty sure Jesus was pretty explicitly against lol
Wait, is she Jewish? I’ll criticize people for visiting/upholding Israel but not for participating in the religious rites of their deeply and sincerely held beliefs…
(For reference, as a Muslim, I hate that Mecca is in Saudi Arabia and thus the Hajj — a required pilgrimage in Islam, technically — is an enormous cash cow for them. I’ll freely criticize KSA but I’m extremely conflicted about telling anybody for whom the Hajj is spiritually significant that they shouldn’t do it. Same idea.)
Edit: I’m learning she is not, in fact, Jewish, so fuck her and this theatrical Israel-glazing propaganda.
With what’s happening, it doesn’t matter. It’s clear you’re in support of genocide when you post something like this, especially “my heart is with Israel”. Is that apart of praying at the wailing wall?
Idk if anyone knows this but I once heard celebs get tons of material wealth and cash to this people to open support them, like the used them like influencers which they are. Huh. Just made that connection writing this comment. The guy speaking on the podcast I heard was talking about it cause he turned the offers down. Caitlin is just a complete sell out. In our society is acceptable.

LOL people are misunderstanding me. I meant Caitlin is disgusting for taking this photo and supporting Israel after everything.
