Two Palestinian cars torched, scrawled with 'price tag' graffiti
Similar incident occurred earlier this week, apparently by settlers angry at government policy on construction.

The incident was apparently carried out by settlers, who have taken on the phrase price tag as part of their protest against Israel's temporary construction freeze in the West Bank.
A similar incident was carried out on Wednesday morning, when unknown vandals sprayed a Star of David with the name Mohammed beside it on a mosque in the West Bank village of Hawara.
The words "Thank you God, for not making me a Gentile" were spray-painted elsewhere in the village and two cars were torched in another location. No suspects have yet been caught.
About two months ago, a mosque in the West Bank village of Yasuf was torched and Hebrew graffiti scrawled on the walls.
Yeshiva students in the West Bank coined theb term "price tag" policy, whereby settlers have vowed to attack Palestinians in retaliation for government actions against West Bank settlements.

they are damiging israeli face in the World.
Yep. Seems some have short memories.
in only 2 or 3 generations. What will the future breed? The similarities to pre holocaust Germany are astounding and frightening! The "Price Tag" then was paid with Jewish lives and loss of homes, now its the Palestinians that will pay...........shame on you Israel.....PEACE NEVER?
Lets hope they are never in the IDF - there are enough barbarians in there already.
I seriously doubt you would use the dismissive term hijinks if it were someone destroying YOUR car.
these barbarian acts of violence by the settlers, are the fruit of an extreme right government's policies. only if the direction of the israeli government changes, then, the settlers will be stopped.
I do not condone the actions of the settlers...if in fact they did do this. My only concern is if this escalates...can the IDF count on them as reserves to fight for the nation. There is a big difference between terrorizing the farmers with clandestime hijinks and fighting on the line.
If Palestinians even attempted to scale the insurmountable aparatheid wall, they'd be shot on sight. Go peddler your lies in an alternate reality where your BS will be accepted as truth- like the Washington Post editorial page for example.
anybody watch the disengagement on youtube i did ten times
Because there typically is no action taken, or if there is, it is a "token" action at best.
"Almost nightly the farmers in Israel are subject to theft and destruction from Palestinians coming over from the other side of the green line. How come it never makes the news?" Dear Max, nice try, but - it's not possible for the Palestinians to get over from "the other side of the green line" because of the barrier with its fences and walls...
....of any action being taken by the Israeli authorities against these settler thugs?
Just once I would like to see some of these settlers (no doubt it was settlers that did it) prosecuted and have the book thrown at them.
Time for Israel to clear out the criminals it has attracted aided and abetted.
