Police are investigating what appears to be another price tag attack, this time in the Israeli Arab municipality of Abu Gosh. Police were summoned to Abu Gosh, located off the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv Highway near Telshe Stone on Tuesday morning, 10 Tammuz 5773. Officials report the tires of 28 vehicles were slashed and graffiti “racism or assimilation” and “Arabs get out” was seen on area wall.
The latest vandalism attack came a day after the Political-Security Cabinet voted to arm the defense minister with additional authority in dealing with persons arrested on suspicion of perpetrating such acts of hate vandalism.
In a tweet received from Shas leader Aryeh Deri, he explains he was on his way to Abu Gosh in a showing of solidarity with residents following the vandalism incident.
Among the vehicles damage was one belonging to the mother of former head of the Jewish Agency of Israel and Labor party MK, Avraham Burg. Burg explains the vehicle was in a local garage for repairs.

Instead of arming the defense minister they should arm the settlers and residents of israel to shoot rock throwers, and arsonist. In america they used to have the death penalty for stealing horses
Somebody was able to go in there and slash tires on almost 30 cars and get out without anyone noticing? Makes one wonder if it was a setup done by the Arabs themselves… maybe with the help of some eager left wingers to make the religious/right look like they’re causing trouble
#2 Of course it was done by Arabs just as 80% of all price tag attacks.
Just easier to blame the Jewish Youth, it sells more papers and makes life so much more interesting.
