Kotel Outside of the Old City walls?

GH post a Jerusalem Post article about a Haredi plan to build a section of the Kotel outside of the Old City walls to keep men and women separate.

I get it, Haredim are turning all of us into Opus Dei.

"Sometimes I feel like they're in a different religion." - P.F [re: The Lakewood Takanot]. I think it's applicable here too.


Yes yes, I know that part is a spoof - in reality they're planning to extend the "prayer area" by 600 square meters. I still find it ridiculous.
