Palestinian Christians under*attack
Palestinian Christians are under attack in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.*Israeli settlers have been vandalizing Palestinian churches, monasteries, cemeteries, and other Christian institutions and property in alarming numbers over the past three years. **These crimes are thought to be part of the larger “price-tag” movement, a campaign started by Israeli settlers in 2011 both to intimidate Palestinians into leaving their land and to establish a punitive “price” Palestinians must pay for perceived setbacks to the security and geographic expansion of the Jewish state."Price tag" attacks are not aimed exclusively at Christian Palestinians.* Secular and Muslim Palestinians are regularly victimized by the price tag attacks as well.* But many attacks have, indeed, targeted Christian institutions."A Palestinian monastery near Jerusalem, for example, was*firebombed and vandalized*on Aug. 19. The walls of the Beit Jamal monastery, which is inhabited by the Sisters of Bethlehem order, were defaced with Stars of David and the words “price tag,” “death to Gentiles” and “revenge” written in Hebrew. **Vandals scrawled*“revenge” and “price tag”*on several tombs in a Palestinian Orthodox cemetery in Jaffa, Israel in June of this year.In May 2013, Israeli settlers*slashed the tires*of a car belonging to the lawyer for the Society of St. Yves Catholic Center for Human Rights, in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem.*The words “Jesus is a Monkey” appeared in Hebrew on the Church of the Dormition in occupied East Jerusalem in May 2013. The same church had also been attacked in*October 2012, when “Jesus is a son of a bitch, price tag” was spray painted on its walls.*The Church is believed by many Christians to be the site where the Virgin Mary died.The Assembly of Catholic Ordinaries in the Holy Land*attributed the 2012 attacks in a statement on its website to*“the education of the young in some [Israeli] schools where contempt and intolerance are taught.”

Palestinian Christians continue to be targets of attacks by Price Tag Zionists in Palestine.
And the Zionist Regime does not protect the civilian Palestinian Christian population from these attacks.
