    There are plenty of things politicians do to be diplomatic, this is just one of them.

      Perform a religious prayer of a religion they don’t adhere to?

      This is not normal whatsoever.

          He doesn’t pretend to be Jewish.

          It’s common for Christian politicians to visit other religious sites such as mosques or synagogues. But actively performing a prayer is a completely different matter.

            “Performing” a prayer?

            ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            Once again, nobody’s pretending to be Jewish. Everyone who does this has to wear one. Gentiles included.

              Sure but the question is not how the religious ritual is performed but why US presidents and their entourage are performing it when it’s clearly not their religion.

                You don’t need to look for crap in every photo, this is just their stated policy

                You apparently didn’t even know what you were looking at till this thread, chill

        There’s “normal” and there’s “politician normal”. Let’s also not forget that all this religious bullshit was started to make it easier for politicians to control people.
