Four right wing Jewish nationalists were reportedly arrested today when they were caught red handed smashing headstones in a Christian cemetery on Mount of Zion in Jerusalem.

Two of the men are settlers from the West Bank, the Jerusalem Post reported.

The men, who range in age from 17- to 26-years-old, threw concrete blocks at tombstones, some of which date reportedly back about 100 years, damaging 15 of them before they were stopped by police. Many of the headstones had their stone crosses broken off.

"Two of the men are known Hilltop Youth activists," police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld reportedly said. He told the AFP that the crime was either "nationalistic" or a "hate crime."

The Hilltop Youth are a notorious group of Jewish West Bank settlers and settler sympathizers accused by the government of vandalizing and attempting to burn down a number of mosques, monasteries and churches over the past few years in what the Hilltop Youth call “price tag” attacks. In one notorious attack, "Jesus is a monkey" was painted on and other vandalism was done to a monastery.

Toss these two in with some hard core Islamic prisoners. Lets see how their intolerance plays in the real world.

suggest they move to mars. if they do it at once, they will not (yet) have to share it with either christians or moslems.

This is what happens when the entirety of one's Yiddishkeit is focussed on made-up chumras like the dreaded fear of consuming invisible insects on strawberries rather than important things like derech eretz.

Yet another nail in the coffin of Jewish moral superiority.

Judeo-trash. Makes me sick.

religion is a terrible thing which leads to terrorism amongst a percentage of believers. judaism isnt immune.

Once a group is in the majority this sort of behavior will emerge from a certain proportion of its members. When we were a persecuted minority in whatever country Jews strove to be educated and, for the most part, decent people. Once in the majority in their one little slice of the world this group of quasi-skinheads feels free to do whatever it pleases, probably with the tacit endorsement of right-wing rabbis. A long sentence to breaking rocks in the desert somewhere would be about right for these goons.

Assholes. Christians are our biggest allies. But I would be appalled equally if it was Muslim tombstones. This is barbaric behavior.
