The latest in Glenn Beck megalomania:
Conservative radio and former Fox News commentator Glenn Beck announced that he is moving a mass rally planned for August from the Southern Wall of Jerusalem’s Old City. On his radio show Monday, Beck said that warnings from security officials led him to fear that the event could turn violent and possibly result in the outbreak of “World War III.”
Noting that “this is a country that has experienced the death of Yitzhak Rabin,” Beck said, “obviously, that would be horrific in nature if something like any kind of violence would happen” at the rally.

Explaining the decision to move his event, Beck said process of moving the event began “when we heard that 40,000 Muslims would be on top of the Temple Mount.”
Beck doesn’t just imply a comparison between himself and Nobel Peace Prize winner Rabin. The implication here, is that like former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, his mere presence at the site would spark conflict, much like Sharon’s visit to the Temple Mount in 2000. Modest!
