Israel’s Tag Meir organisation revealed, on Monday, that extremist Jewish settlers have carried out arson attacks on 46 mosques and 12 churches in the occupied West Bank and Israel, over the past decade, Al Sabeel has reported.
Tag Meir, which was established 15 years ago to counter settlers’ hate crimes and racism in Israel and the occupied West Bank, said that the perpetrators of these crimes generally went unpunished. It pointed out that most of these arson attacks were committed by an extremist settler group called “Price Tag,” and that the criminals spray graffiti such as “Death to Arabs” and other hate messages on the walls of the buildings they burn down.
The latest of these attacks was on a mosque in the Beir Safafa neighbourhood of occupied Jerusalem. The fire started by the illegal settlers caused severe damage to the building.
