JAFFA, October 8, 2011 (WAFA) –Extremist Jews were believed to be behind vandalism of Muslim and Christian cemeteries in the city Jaffa, Tel Aviv’s twin city, destroying graves and scribbling racist slogans on others, Saturday said local residents.
They said the extremists wrote racist slogans such as “death to Arabs” and “price tag,” slogans which are generally used by extremist Jewish settlers in the West Bank when they attack Palestinian villages.
Ibrahim Sarsour, an Arab Israeli lawmaker, condemned the vandalism. He said “the Israeli government was not making any effort to stop these racist attacks against Palestinians, rather it provides extremists protection.”
An Israeli settler was lately arrested on charges of setting a mosque on fire in the Bedouin village of Tuba-Zangaria in the northern Galilee, which prompted widespread protests in the village and a general strike in the Arab villages.Palestine News & Info Agency - WAFA
