More than a dozen graves at the historic Mount of Olives cemetery in Jerusalem have been vandalized at one of Judaism’s oldest burial places was the latest in a series of incidents.
Fourteen graves were damaged by Arab youths wielding sledgehammers, according to private security guards stationed at the cemetery located in eastern Jerusalem. At least five of the damaged gravesites are those of Americans buried in the cemetery.
Arab youths also vandalized or destroyed nearly 40 newly installed surveillance cameras in the cemetery, according to the International Committee for the Preservation of Har HaZeitim.
There are an estimated 150,000 graves on the Mount, where Jews have been buried since biblical times. Notable individuals buried there include the prophets Zechariah, Malachi and Hagai.

Where is the alleged President Obama to stand up for Israel, America’s greatest ally??? Another example of Obama being unaAmerican and begging to see if we have the substance to impeach him.
He is too busy trying to keep from being evicted.
End the illegal occupation of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
KAHANE WAS RIGHT!
If this were done to their graves, the whole world would be up in arms against Israel and the Jews. But, again, Arab propaganda gets the upper hand!!!
1. A git erev Shabbos Know Nothings: Now the President is responsible for Arab vandals…you give him much credit, I must say;
2. If you knew what agencies monitored blogs, and if you really believed that you live in a country with a liberal antisemetic pro-Islamic and Pro-Socialist government…you’d keep your mouths shut 🙂
3. Truth is, you guys are a natural product of a liberal society with free speech…just listen to yourselves. Shkoyach Liberalism…it even has racist Kach types in its grasp.
