Jewish woman orders a German abbot to remove/hide his cross because this is a jewish place and a cross is not appropriate.

Well, at least she didn’t spit and kick at him.

When in Rome ...

However, no priest in Rome would tell a Jew to take their kippah off in church, despite the fact that uncovering your head is a mark of respect in christianity and covering your head is a mark of respect in judaism. If a priest did, he would undeniably, and possibly rightfully, be accused of antisemitism

No one cares. You visit someone else's home, it's their rules or gtfo.

So what? Its not a big deal, but you can be assured that a priest doing that would be accused of antisemitism. Their rules are to uncover your head when you come into their home, but in a case like this, their rules are more generous and tolerant than this example.

But, of course, the entire ME including israel and arab countries, are a lot more religiously intolerant than your Rome example

Fundie jews do not like christians one single bit. In previous centuries, before the palestine/israel shit, they disliked christianity more than islam. Judaism believes that Jesus was a liar and a scammer, which is the very core of christianity, while islam reveres jesus as a prophet.

The Western Wall Heritage Foundation issued a statement apologizing “for the distress that was caused,” but defending the actions of the woman while also noting that the site is open to all and there are no rules “on this issue” there

“The usher approached and innocently and politely asked whether the cross could be covered to prevent discomfort as happened recently in the Old City, out of a desire to respect the guest and the place. After he refused, his entry was of course not prevented and the usher respected [this] and headed off,” the statement read.

It's not my Rome example. It's a saying.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

You should always keep in mind that your ways aren't going to be welcome or tolerated wherever you go.

Its a saying that you used in your example. Of course, one house's rules, when a visitor knocks on the door, might be "Welcome, my friend. Would you like a coffee? Maybe a beer?" and another house'd rules might be "You will walk on all fours on this leash as long as youre here, got it punk?" Its pretty obvious they may set their own rules, so that doesnt need to be mentioned. What can be pointed out is that the first house has much more tolerant and generous rules than the second one.

Being a bitch is legal, we all know that. But that doesnt mean being a bitch is a good thing.

Your Israel thing is a bit surprising given that the Israeli population in our era is about 75% pure, unadulterated Maga-folks, with just the same views as the more extreme Maga population

"Its a saying that you used in your example."

There was no example ... just half a saying.

There was no example ... just an incomplete thought.

There was no example ... just 3 words.
