Justice Minister Tzipi Livni wants punishment for "price tag" operations as Jewish nationalistic vandalism is called to be legally defined as terrorism. She is in the process of proposing a law to this effect and is expected to present it to the Cabinet next week.
The law would mandate heavy punishment against people convicted of such vandalism and those who express support for it. It will also make it possible for the police and Shin Bet to take harsher measures against suspects in the vandalism, like the measures that are taken against Arab terrorists.
Minister of Public Security Yitzhak Aharonovich succeeded this week in receiving budgetary approval for 50 additional policemen to fight against "nationalistic crime" i.e., "price tag" operations.
