guy Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Two ancient Roman statues from the second century AD were destroyed by a lunatic in Israel in October. Strangely, he was acquitted. His defense was unusual: Quote “The suspect did not act out of iconoclastic fanaticism. His acts prior to the incident and general demeanor suggest that he is suffering from a well recognized condition known as the Jerusalem Syndrome.” “Jerusalem syndrome is a rare condition in which tourists become so overwhelmed by the city’s history and power that they dissociate from reality and believe themselves to be biblical figures.“ https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/travel/article/tourist-smashes-statues-israel-scli-intl/index.html https://m.jpost.com/israel-news/article-776757 Edited December 6, 2023 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
