JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Suspected hardline Israelis scrawled pro-settler graffiti and religious insults on a monastery outside the walls of Jerusalem's Old City on Tuesday, police said, in the latest of a series of attacks on non-Jewish sites.
The vandals wrote the phrase "price tag" in Hebrew on the gate of the Monastery of Saint Francis on Mount Zion - a reference to a violent campaign supporting unauthorized settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The "Price tag" is the retribution some Israeli settlers say they will exact for any attempt by their government to curb settlement in the territory, which Palestinians want as part of a future state.
The group has targeted mosques and, less commonly, Christian buildings, regarding any non-Jewish religious sites as an intrusion on the land.
The monastery of Saint Francis is near the spot where tradition says Jesus gathered his disciples for the Last Supper.
It was the second attack on a Christian institution in less than a month.
"Price tag" attackers set fire to the doors of Latrun monastery in the West Bank on September 4 in a possible retaliation for the eviction of families from an unauthorized outpost.
"Price tag actions are contrary to the Jewish religion and causes great harm to Israel," Israeli President Shimon Peres said in a statement in response to Mount Zion attack. "Holy sites must not be harmed."
A police spokesman said a number of people had been charged in connection with several of the incidents, but gave no details.
Palestinian officials and Israeli rights groups have accused the authorities of not doing enough to investigate the attacks.
It is unfortunate that the colonial settler state was heavy funded by christian fundies .. they should read what they've to say about Jesus and what they actually believe about him over Muslims who have nothing but respect for the messenger of God..
people become bird brained with each passing day and it is so unfortunate!
And because of their disbelief and of their speaking against Mary a tremendous calumny; (Qur'an, 4:156)
Now think of the corresponding word they would use about Isa alayhi assalaam (Jesus, Peace be upon him). It begins with a B.
Nastaghfirullah, Na3oothubillah, laa howla wa laa quwwata illa billaah...
Only just yesterday I posted that verse, heart renderingly recited, in the exceptional recitations thread: Exceptional Recitations

Jewish extremists attack Jerusalem church

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Jewish extremists hurled stones, Molotov cocktails and trash at a Christian Church in occupied Jerusalem on Monday.
Several Molotov cocktails and stones were thrown at the church, located near an illegal Jewish ultra-orthodox settlement, Israeli authorities confirmed.
The attack did not lead to injuries but damage was reported to the main gate of the church, the Israeli Police said while “investigating the assault”.
The latest attack comes only one week after Israeli extremists spray-painted racist graffiti in Hebrew on the Franciscan monastery in occupied Jerusalem, including slurs against Christians and against Jesus Christ.
Last Month, extremist Jewish settlers burnt the main gate of the Latrun Christian Monastery in west Jerusalem, and also wrote racist graffiti against Jesus Christ and against Christianity.
Extremist settler groups are responsible for numerous racist attacks against the Palestinian people, their lands and their holy sites. Several mosques were torched, and several Christian and Islamic graveyards were desecrated.
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.
