JEWS DO BAD THINGS TOO: Last year Israelis and Palestinians protested together after a firebomb was thrown at a synagogue followed by two dozen Muslim and Christian graves being vandalized by graffiti in the mixed Arab Jewish neighborhood of Jaffa, Israel, October 8, 2011, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement’
At least five gravestones were smashed and 20 others sprayed with Hebrew graffiti, including “Death to the Arabs” and “Price Tag,” a slogan used by militant Jewish settlers in the West Bank and their supporters. The vandalism took place in Jaffa, a mixed port city of Jews and Arabs near Tel Aviv.
Israeli leaders sharply condemned the desecration. All Jews should ask the Muslims forgiveness for our role in this horror.
