Right-Wing Israeli Extremists Desecrate Monastery and Arab-Jewish School
“Death to the Arabs,” “Death to the Christians,” and “Kahane was right” (a right-wing rabbi whose organization was labeled as a terrorist group by the US) were scrawled in Hebrew on a monastery in Jerusalem and an Arab-Jewish school operated by the Greek Orthodox church on Tuesday. The police suspect they are “price tag” events, a name given to attacks by right-wing settler groups who oppose any peace movements toward the Palestinians.
Both the Council of Religious Institutions and the Holy Land and the Anti-Defamation League condemned the attacks.

It makes me heart-sick to read about this. With tensions building between Mideast superpowers Israel and Iran, I worry that it will become an excuse for Jews to further decimate relatively defenseless Palestinians.
