“There is an attempt to gain politically from the incident. There is something almost ridiculous in the fact that the Muslim public, which is intolerant of Christianity and its leaders, is at the forefront of the protest against an incident carried out by a weird couple and is trying to leverage the incident for election campaign purposes.”
– Israel’s Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, speaking about Friday’s incident at the Church of Annunciation in Nazareth, and the subsequent reaction from the Muslim public.
I don’t find myself agreeing with much of what Olmert says these days, but in this case, he is 100% correct.
