PHOTO LINK BELOW: Former President Bill Clinton on Sunday made a visit to the Kosel, escorted by Kosel rav Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz.
The former president stood at Rabbi Rabinowitz’s side as he offered his prayer, placing a note in the Wall. The rav gave the former president a explanation of the significance of the Kosel to the Jewish People. He was given a VIP tour and thanked Rabbi Rabinowitz for his time and explanations, calling the event an unforgettable one.
Clinton addressed the Jerusalem Saban Forum, stating that he is confident that if Yitzchak Rabin was not murdered, he would have succeeded in bringing a comprehensive peace plan to the region within three years from the time of his untimely death.

It’s pretty funny that he’s wearing a kippa and he’s not even Jewish.. What’s the point?
What a publicity hungry, hypocritical politician!
To 1 and 2. If he does not put on a kippa or he does not show up at all, then you would criticize him!! So you can’t have it both ways!!
It was very respectful of Mr Clinton on going and putting on a kippa!!
1 & 2,
I’m no fan of “slick Willy,” but I have to agree with #3. (S)he is absolutely correct.
anytime someone without a kippah comes to the kosel he is asked to put one on.
#1 and #2, if you have never visited the kossel you would need to know that they make you wear a yarmulka even if your not jewish just out of respect. They have them a a small box.
any goy who davens at the kosel gets his prayer answered so they shouldn’t say Hashem can’t deliver.
I’m scared, I hope he didn’t wish that hillary should become president next
Can the Kotel become tamai? If it can, this is the guy who could do it! What a menuval sleaze!
He wouldn’t recognize honesty or ethics if he tripped over it.
#8, according to you, nobody should visit the kossel as we are all tamai!
I didn’t realize that they give out kippas if you’re not wearing one… It’s been a while since I’ve been to Israel.
To anothercomment;
You are probably frum and therefor never paid attention to the box of paper Kippahs.
Oh boy, Billy you are getting old. Last time I saw you there your Kippa was nicer, but then again, then you were a president.

GOOD POINT. COULD’VE WOULD’VE SHOULD’VE…
For myself i am not comfortable with the petty snide criticisms. Save it for something useful.
Besides this is a good, any previous actions notwithstanding.
PS Even Pharaoh received some respect form Moshe rabbienu
