I ask Mazel about the follow-up story that Israel's embassy in Stockholm is moving because of fears over its security. No, no, that was a confusion, he says. The embassy may have to move because its landlord has other intentions for the site. It's an unrelated story. So where did it come from? I check at FreeRepublic.com, "a Conservative news source", which quotes the Jerusalem Post, reporting on an interview Mazel gave Israel radio on Monday. He said the move is part of "the general atmosphere of hostility towards Israel all around Europe - Sweden included".

If ever I am confronted by such an obviously vile, disgusting and insensitive artwork as this, I shall behave in exactly the same manner. We must find the antidote for this venom.

Sadly, according to numerous prophecies, this will not happen until it is finished.

I've seen hundreds of FreeRepublic citations - but this is the 1st citation outside of the US and Canada that I can recall. Strange, in the age of Internet, where information jumps national boudaries in an instant.
