Police officers arrested three children from Holon on Thursday evening over suspicion they had sprayed swastikas in the city. One of the children, aged 12, told officer he sprayed swastikas to vent his rage at the discrimination he had felt in Israel since he emigrated with his family from the former Soviet Union, seven years ago. The other two suspects are aged 12 and 16.
Police launched a hunt a week ago after swastikas and Nazi slogans, including ‘hail Hitler,’ were found on a handful of buildings across the city.

What they did is wrong and there’s no excuse for it. That said, if there is discrimination in Israel against any group which is not a threat to Israel (i.e. potential terrorists), then Israeli society would do well to reflect on ways to treat all people with respect.

Every aggressor who claims that he felt discrimination & was not treated with respect, dignity and love, can not vent his feelings through violence, destruction, robberies, etc. Why is the aggressor treated as the VICTIM?
