on December 12, 2012
JERUSALEM - Vandals sprayed anti-Christian graffiti on Jerusalem's
Monastery of the Cross and at an Armenian cemetery overnight, Agence
France Presse reported.
Father Claudius, the monastery's abbot, said he had noticed the
graffiti at 4:30 am local time when he got up to pray.
Vandals spray-painted `Death to Christianity' and `Jesus, son of a
whore' on the Greek Orthodox monastery in Jerusalem.
The attacks drew a strong condemnation from Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, who expressed `disgust' over the incidents, his
office said.
Outside the Monastery of the Cross near the Israeli parliament,
vandals also slashed the tires of three cars belonging to staff, and
wrote `price tag' and `Happy Hanukkah' the Jewish holiday now being
observed.
`This is the seventh time this has happened,' he told reporters at the
scene, saying that if the vandals had simply knocked on the door he
would have invited them in for tea to talk to them about his faith.
`The Jewish values by which we were raised, and by which we raise our
children, firmly reject such actions,' Netanyahu said in the
statement. `Freedom of worship for all religions in Israel will be
preserved and we will take legal action against the immoral people who
committed these crimes.'
