Hebrew Translation Fail of the Day

The following sign was apparently placed by the Western Wall Heritage Foundation:

translation fail

The Hebrew word בורות means “pits” but can also mean “ignorance”, so this is clearly someone using Google translate instead of consulting with an actual English speaker.

Apparently, the Arabic word جهل in the middle also means ignorance, so it is a double whammy.

I think the Israel-haters should use this as their profile photos on social media.
