If he’s worried about the Torah, he must’ve been Jewish. So basically, it’s an American Jewish person, going to Israel, and making sure that they understand how wrong they, Israelis, are about Jewish things. Sounds like a great guy. /s
Makes no sense. That isn’t blasphemy or idolatry, it’s history. Ancient Israel and Ancient Rome had centuries of relations, trade, population commingling, and of course political discord. Some people are just nuts.
