And they all call themselves "Christians" . The Western wall has nothing to do with Christianity

I'm not sure anyone gets let into that part of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. They won't even let scientists preform X-Rays to see if Christ is even in the alleged grave at the bottom of the inner chamber.
Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if plenty of politicians have gone to the main church (but not the inner part), and just not gotten their picture taken, or potentially photography may be prohibited.
For example, many politicians regularly go to church every week, and we normally don't see them get their pictures taken as part of their own congregation. That's one of the reasons the May 27th Antifa Riots in DC were so bad. They burned that historic church where tons of politicians actually normally go on Sundays.
And from an even more cynical position, I wouldn't be surprised if the church is less photogenic than the wall is. A close up picture of a face and a wall is actually a fairly powerful picture. The inside of the church might not be a very significant looking picture that can be used as a close-up of the face, unless you're doing this 'worm's-eye-view' picture of the ceiling
Then, I have to wonder, given how Israel governs access to these religious cites, if there are crazy rules about who, what, when, where, and how visitors can go to these cites, and for how long. It's also apparently going under some kind of renovation, I guess?
Walls, on the other hand, are pretty simple. Any part of the wall will do, and it's a wall, it's low maintenance. At least for a picture.
Politicians missing a photo op? You don't believe this.
It has to be a good photo-op. I think your missing my point: I think they're even more cynical.
Your flimflam is unconvincing.
That's...that's a lot of reaching.
W/e man. The point is, I don't think anybody actually cares about what the truth is, and this is just to fit a narrative about how all politicians serve jews and only jews because jews. It's not that politicians can have other agendas or factions, just jews.
I have actually visited Israel before and been to both the Wall and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. You can absolutely go inside, you can take pictures, and just like at the wall, there are places for prayers and photo ops, but they look much nicer because the Church is beautiful. Our rulers just don't care about Christianity as much as they care about the Jews.
But inside that inner church? Are photos allowed? How does Israel regulate visitation. I know plenty of Christians have gotten pissed off at not being able to access holy sites, or even being attacked trying to visit them.
Yes photos are allowed, at least they were when I was there less than a decade ago. There is a whole bunch of politics over who runs things with the church specifically, because so many different denominations are involved, and when I was last there they even had to compromise and have the Armenians (there is a whole quarter in the old city for them) deal with opening and closing the doors. There are a lot of weird rules about who is allowed to do what that pertain to the church leadership and how its run, but people can just enter the church. Israelis have attacked people outside of the church, but that's not like a law, that's just Jews being assholes to Christians.
See fellas, THIS is a REAL schizo post
This isn't a schizo post, this is an attempt at misdirection.
Not misdirection, contradiction.
Why would Christ's grave be there, if he ascended bodily to Heaven?
Also, India claims to be home of Jesus the Man's grave, which makes more sense if he and all his cronies and family were exiled from Judea/Palestine. India was just beyond Rome's reach and influence.
Would have had to cross through the entire Parthian Empire to get to India, that's not a short distance. Why wouldn't anyone fleeing East from the Romans just stop in Parthia, like the pharasees did after the failed great revolt?
I'm gonna be honest man, I'm an anti-theist, I have no idea what the excuse is, and I don't think it maters whether he's in there or not. I'd bet we have no idea where jesus' body actually is, and we'll probably never find it.
