    Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said ten cars were damaged in the Arab neighborhood of Beit Safafa early Tuesday. The words “price tag” was sprayed on walls nearby. The phrase is used by a small group of Jewish extremists to protest what they perceive as the Israeli government’s pro-Palestinian policies.

    The acts have been condemned by Israeli leaders across the political spectrum. Police said they are investigating.

    Mosques, churches, dovish Israeli groups and even Israeli military bases have been targeted by the vandals in recent years. Two weeks ago a monastery near Jerusalem was defaced.

    As opposed to bombing and maiming, as these Arabs do.

    I am glad that AP is so fair and balanced that they understand that the acts are the same.

    unlike rocks thrown at cars, spray paint doesn’t ever kill anyone,
    so AP go out and cover how these animals throw rocks at cars

    They will not be happy until Israel is in a shooting war again. They will then refuse to fight.

    Can’t saying I’m crying over the vandalism. The Arabs perceive ‘The Medina’ as weak. ‘Al tikzor ha Ishmaelim?’ They’re ‘Ishmayelim?’
