Graffiti slogans in Hebrew at the Dormition Abbey read ‘Death to the heathen Christians, the enemies of Israel,’ among other slanderous writings marking the ancient structures.
Police suspect Israeli right-wing religious extremists as being behind the anti-Christian vandalism, Associated Press reported over the weekend.

On the doors and walls of the Benedictine monastery, where, according to Christian tradition, the Virgin Mary died, words degrading Jesus were seen, while other slogans suggested that Christians ‘go to hell.’

Jewish radicals have, over the decades since the founding of Israel, vandalized Christian and Muslim holy sites in the country and occupied territories.
The vandalism prompted a sharp reaction from Jewish State authorities.
“We will not allow anyone to undermine the coexistence between religions in Israel,” Gilad Erdan, Israel’s Minister of Public Security, said, according to AP.
“We will show zero tolerance to whomever harms the democratic foundations of Israel and its freedom of religion and we will apprehend those who carried out this heinous act,” he said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the action in a statement.

If Erdan and Netanyahu are truly concerned about religious freedom and coexistence in israel why do they promote the idea that israel is an exclusively jewish state and how come this happens ALL the time with soldiers sometimes standing gaurd for jews who assault and even kill christians and muslims in their own homes? I’m sure they are truly concerned. Now I’ll just sit back and wait for the MSM and puppets begging to be the new dog in the house, like sanders, trump and Hillary call them out on it and expose their hatred of Christianity and how they pose a threat to us all. I’ll be waiting.
Well I guess someone will have to tag the wailing wall now.
Preferably with some MS13, CRIPS and Bloods gang signs.
Make it look like one of those tagged railroad cars.
That’ll get their attention.
