    Mohammed Abdelkarim, whose mother and sisters were inside the house when it was set alight, says Hebrew slogans were scrawled on the house.

    Abdelkarim says the fire Sunday damaged one room in the house and caused no injuries. Israeli police said they were looking into the incident.

    Tensions are high between Israelis and Palestinians following a spate of deadly attacks that have killed 11 Israelis. At least five of the Palestinian attackers were killed.

    A small group of Jewish extremists in recent years has targeted mosques, churches and private property in response to Palestinian or Israeli actions they oppose.

    Oh, pity party! It’s OK to go into the Fogel family home & butcher the sleeping family? Or enter the Shul in Har Nof & massacre the mispallelim? They are so damn lucky it was only torched. I have zero rachmones.

    Oy this is terrible! Jews have to stop these barbaric terrorist activities! Imagine..scrawling an innocent Arab’s house with spray paint! When will these purveyors of international terror cease their dastardly acts? How is that poor Arab supposed to continue living? The Har Nof incident pales in comparison to this. Where is the UN to condemn this? Where is Tzippy Livni when you need her?
    Destroy the Jewish terrorists homes now!

    When the government does not protect its people then the people must protect themselves!
