Police have launched an investigation into a reported hate crime in Jerusalem’s Pisgat Ze’ev district, an area which is considered by the international community to be an illegal Israeli settlement, suspecting a so-called “Price-Tag” attack. The vandals left graffiti in Hebrew, translated as “The Arabs of Jerusalem are terrorists, expel or kill them”; “Let us take care of them”; and “There is no place in the Land of Israel for foreigners and the enemies of God,” as well as slashed car tires. This comes just a day after the Israeli man Adiel Kolman was stabbed to death in the Old City’s Muslim Quarter by a Palestinian resident, according to reports.
On Twitter, some users reacted with sadness, whereas others were infuriated, slamming racism against the Palestinians.

It's sad that such a beautiful script and language is used to write hate.

The world stands silent idly by. Not a sound, not an objection. Shame on @UN @EUCouncil & others!

ISRAHELL IS AN APARTHEID REGIME AND TERRORIST ENTITY!
Some, however, suspected that it is actually Arabs themselves who are behind the vandalism.
maybe it's the arab who did it, the handwritting looks to the curves of the arab language

This is the third such incident over the past 10 days in which somebody has vandalized cars with spray paint, writing “Death to all Arabs” and “Revenge” on them; while in another attack, cars were burnt in an Arab neighborhood, with “Death to Arabs, price tag” written on a nearby wall.
