Isrealis tell the story of a rabbi fervently praying at the Wailing Wall and a tourist sees him and takes some video footage of this dramatic scene. The rabbi stops, and the tourist apologizes:
"Forgive me, Rabbi, but I couldn't resist filming such energetic prayer. What were you praying for?"
" I was praying that the Jews and Palestinians would stop this crazy fighting and live in peace with each other," says the Rabbi.
"Wow," says the tourist, "what a great theme. Do you think you were getting anywhere with your prayers?"
"Feh, says the rabbi, "it's like talking to the wall."
