According to Netanyahu's account—which, as it went on, took on the grizzled repetitiousness of a Jewish joke—he visited the site (presumably with aides and a gargantuan security contingent) only to find himself beset by groups of "Japanese and Scandinavian tourists," who, apparently, kept pointing at the Arch's menorah and suddenly erupted into a chant, "Israel, Israel, Israel.
