For what I read in the link you provided, it seems to me that this rock is really fake. I really agree that Israelis do not walk on North America, exactly in New Mexico desert, before Columbus.
You know I have the believe that ancient civilizations lived unless in South America on really very ancient times. Advanced civilizations. But about this rock I believe in the explanation of being a rock put in the entrance of the houses believed to defend the home of negative demonic energies. From me that makes makes more sense. Although this link is interesting:

May Israelis would try to scape Romans and reach a land to practice their religion beliefs without fear?

Even though the stone, in my opinion, must be fake, I believe Israelis in America before Columbus cannot be ruled out just yet.
