JERUSALEM Oct. 2, 2012– Vandals scribbled anti-Christian graffiti on the outer walls of one of Jerusalem's best-known churches early Tuesday morning, Israeli police said.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the perpetrators defaced a wall leading to the Church of the Dormition. The century-old structure is built on the site where tradition says the Virgin Mary died.
The graffiti, which read "Jesus, [insult to Christians removed per TOS, ADK], price tag," had already been removed by midmorning, said Rosenfeld.
He says police are still searching for the assailants, though suspicion has fallen on a fringe group of pro-settler Jewish extremists who have carried out similar vandalism on churches, mosques and Israeli army property. They say the acts are in response to what they consider pro-Palestinian policies by the Israeli government, a form of retribution they call a "price tag."
Israeli police said. Extremist Jewish West Bank settlers are suspected.
Where are the riots? Where is the outrage and murders!
Isnt' this interesting. Price Tag is extremist Jewish slang that links the acts to jews who are angry that the nation of Israel is making concessions to Palestinians. Jewish settlers on the west bank have been uprooted and the land returned to Palestinians.
So, jews are angry with arabs, palestinians, so they deface a christian church! Why didn't they deface a mosque and write [same insult adapted to Islam removed per TOS, ADK]
They understand that doing that to a mosque would start WWIII, while doing it to a christian church just makes the christians and the jews both sad, while they quietly scrub it away.
If Mr. Obama condemns this strongly, somebody let me know. I must have missed it.
