His tendentious arguments were not founded in any historical or archaeological methodology. This inscription derives from some shady circumstances as described in the news reports - and even if it had perfect provenance it would hardly shake the foundations of our world. We already know that many rabbis lived and died and were buried in Tzipori. And yes it is a really nice place to visit. Don't forget to see the mosaic Mona Lisa of the Galilee and the not rabbinic mosaic panels with excerpts from the life of Dionysus.
