Just a point and know it wasn’t meant in that way but many people find the term “wailing wall” to describe the western wall to be offensive as it's origins are from people mourning the destruction of the 2nd Temple.

I know it wasn't meant in that way at all, hopefully I made that clear in my original post, if I didn't I'm sorry.

As far as I remember it's signposted the Western Wall and I didn't know either (and used to call it that) before I was told by Jewish friends. I can understand the negative connotations though which is why I said something.
