White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was photographed as he appeared to shed a tear at the Kotel (Western Wall) Thursday (see photos below).

President Shimon Peres hosted Emanuel with his wife Amy and their children, Zach (13), Ilana (11) and Leah (10) in the Presidential Residence Thursday. Peres gave presents to Emanuel's wife and children and taught Zach, who is in Israel to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah, a lesson about the weekly Torah portion.

Can you say photo-op? C’mon, Rahm, we know you’re faking.

[dforest]

I had a tear in my eye too today after that bug flew into it.

[hennie pennie]

This is simply rich, LOL!!

[longhorn too]

Reminds me of Clinton at Ron Brown’s funeral!

[Gapplega]

Rahm Emanuel is as much as a Jew as Goebbels was a Catholic. Israel should throw that piece of filth out of their country.

Tiny Dancer teared up because he was HECKLED at the Wailing Wall. He can dish it out, but he can’t take it. Buck up Buttercup- we’re just getting started.

I want to see proof of the tear.

" Emanuel a places note between cracks and appears to shed a tear."

[NYCslicker]

He’s crying because he didn’t get a chance to offend the state of Israel even more.

10 seconds before that he was smiling ear to ear.

They point out that “to our sorrow” during the last year, President Barak Obama’s tenure in the White House, “You have worked against the State of Israel and the Jewish People”. They remind Emanuel of his recent comment to Israel’s consul general to Los Angeles, in which he is quoted as saying “I have had it with the Israelis”.

“You are not the first Jew in history trying to advance himself at the expense of his people. There were traitors before you such as Josephus Flavius and others, who in all likelihood also celebrated their bar mitzvah but we remember them as traitors, seeking riches and honor, at the expense of their people.

Rahm Emanuel and his son have been publically branded as traitors and warned not to come to Israel for the Bar Mitzvah.

As usual, Emmanuel disrespects religious statements and has thumbed his nose at all concerned. Money trumps decency, doesn't it.

They were tears of joy because he knew the taxpayers were picking up the tab.

[beethovenfan]

Boo f’n hoo.

The two security guys say it all (to his left)—turn your back on G-d, Rahm sure has..

[richardtavor]

Yes, including Israeli taxpayers—he stiffed them for his son’s dinner in Eilat..

Today, har HaBayit had two abominations on, or near it. The mosque, and the man who councils the enemy of Israel, Rahm-not-Emanuel. The man is disgusting. The only tears he sheds are for himself.
