The fact that you find this story merely weird rather than repulsive (the Israeli government was gracious enough to apologise AND RESTORE THE FREE AND DEMOCRATIC CREDENTIALS OF THEIR NATION.
....stands in stark contrast to your lack of condemnation of an Israeli nutter.
In the peculiar world you inhabit no Israeli is capable of wrong doing. No non Israeli capable of any good. Sad, very very sad.

I don't feel I have to condemn every Israeli nutter, and this story suggest there is at least one of them that I have so far missed. Your choice of thread title suggests you were after more than just suggesting Israelis, and settlers in particular, could have religion-related mental disorders.
I found the story weird for 2 reasons:
1. I'd have expected the "settler" to be handcuffed and dragged away by security personnel.
2. I wasn't exactly sure what you were after, posting this bizzare story. After all, you're not found on here every time a synagogue or a Jewish cemetary in Europe is decorated with swastikas so I was surprised with your recently-growing sensitivity for inter-religion tolerance.
BTW, christians visiting the western wall is a daily occurence, yet apparently it has done very little to "restore Israel's good name".
In contrast, during the 19-year long Jordanian occupation Jews were not allowed to worship there, yet Jordan still maintains its good name. So do the Palestinians who have torched churches since Hamas has taken control of Gaza. Thanks for the warm words though...highly appreciated.
