Israeli Settlers 'Desecrate Christian Monastery'

Israeli police are investigating after vandals attacked a famous Christian monastery - setting fire to its door and spray-painting "Jesus is a monkey" on the wall.

The Latrun Monastery, on occupied land in the Ayalon Valley, 15 miles west of Jerusalem, was daubed with pro-settler graffiti.

Officers believe it was in possible retaliation for the eviction of 50 families from the nearby unauthorised Migron settlement on Sunday.

--CLIP
Police were warning of possible reprisal attacks from a vigilante settler group known as Price Tag. The group says its name refers to the price to be paid for stopping settlement in the occupied West Bank.

The entire building could have been bulldozed.

Is price tag akin to tea party in mentality?

For those interested, the anti-israel hate fest is this way:

Do you disagree that this is just another DU anti-israel hate fest? Then show me the LBN posts about racist/bigoted graffiti in other countries.

There was a suicide bomb in pakistan yeasterday, two americans were killed and the DU thread dropped like a rock. I guess graffiti in israel is way more concerning, the LBN thread is up to 55 replies or so.

seems like you really want to sweep it under one of these, so I thought I'd make it easier by providing one:

I never thought about it much before, but it really is fun to be so clever. :backpat:
