Local sources in occupied East Jerusalem have reported [Tuesday morning June 18] that a number of extremist Israeli settlers punctured tires of 28 Palestinian cars in Abu Gosh area in the city.

The settlers carried their attacks out during early dawn hours, and wrote racist graffiti, such as “Price Tag”, “Death To Arabs”, and “Arabs Out”, on a number of walls.

It is worth mentioning that this latest attack took place a few days after Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his government, decided that the dangerously escalating Price Tag attacks carried out against the Palestinians, not only in the West Bank, but also in the 1948 territories, “are not acts of terrorism”.

On Friday [June 14 2013] extremist settlers set ablaze two Palestinian cars in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, in occupied East Jerusalem, and wrote racist graffiti, including Price Tag.

On Thursday June 13 2013] extremist settlers defaced a Christian Cemetery in Jaffa, and spray-painted “Price Tag”, and “Revenge” on tombstones.
On Friday [June 7 2013] Israeli extremists burnt a Palestinian car in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.

Price Tag is the slogan the settlers use in attacking the Palestinians and their property, including mosques, churches and graveyards. It refers to holding the Palestinians responsible for the Israeli eviction of some illegal outposts.

JERUSALEM, June 18, 2013 (WAFA) – Israeli vandals from the so-called 'price tag' group slashed late Monday night tires of 28 cars in the Arab town of Abu Ghoush, west of Jerusalem, according to local sources.
Price tag referres to an underground anti-Arab Israeli group that carries out terrorist acts against Palestinians in the occupied territories and inside Israel, as in the case of Abu Ghoush.
In addition to slashing the tires, the group left their 'price tag' signature on the walls and spray painted racist slogans such as “death to Arabs.”

The Israeli government is yet to declare the group and its acts as terrorism despite a sharp rise in their attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and inside Israel.
