General attacked at kotel

Haaretz :

Dozens of Jewish worshippers attacked head of the Israel Defense Forces Manpower Branch Major General Elazar Stern at the Western Wall plaza in Jerusalem on Friday night.Stern was in civilian dress when he came to pray at the Western Wall, accompanied by his family. Worshippers surrounded him, yelling insults, and attempted to prevent him from reaching the wall. Though police officers immediately surrounded him, the worshippers began throwing stones and other objects in his direction...
The attackers were apparently motivated by Stern's role in Israel's disengagement from the Gaza Strip, completed last month.

I was personally at the kotel praying arvit at the time of the incident and I can attest that Stern was laughing and smiling as he walked towards the wall, he knew and understood what was coming and there is no question in my mind that he did it for the purpose of sttarting an uproar, Stern should be condemned to the fullest extent.
