Safed (IINA) – Radical Israeli settlers on Sunday spray-painted anti-Arab graffiti on the walls of a Jewish synagogue in Safed, in northern Israel, Palestinian News Agency WAFA reported citing local sources.
Israeli police said in a statement that racist graffiti, reading “death to Arab”, were found on the walls of the synagogue.
According to B'Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization, “Israeli civilians have perpetrated various forms of violence against Palestinians in the occupied territories, damaging their lands, their persons and their property.”
“In recent years, settlers have carried out violent acts under the slogan 'price tag'. These are acts of violence aimed at the Palestinian population and Israeli security forces,” the organization said.
B'Tselem has documented many such acts including the blocking of roads, throwing stones at cars and houses, making incursions into Palestinian villages and land, torching fields, uprooting trees, and other damage to property.
