He did this as a reaction to *his* interpretation of a piece of "art" that, as most people agree, could be interpreted hundreds of ways.

If his act really WAS on behalf of all Jews - if every Jewish person in the world signed a letter saying that they authorize the ambassador to protest on their behalf - then you'd have a point. The idea that people believe that every Jew in the world authorized this guy to act on their behalf is crazy. He says he was acting on our behalf, but that doesn't make it true, and that doesn't mean that the world thinks it's true.

It would be the same as the Scottish Ambassador setting fire to your house for painting it blue. Saying you were mocking the slaughtered men that followed William Wallace and it was an affront to all Scots.

I agree. People would think that this ambassador was a little nuts. Do you think that people would look down on all Scots because of it?
