IDF base vandalized in 'price tag' attack

IDF equipment was vandalized near Ramallah on Monday night in an incident in which it is suspected that IDF soldiers participated. The vandalism was allegedly a 'price tag' attack in revenge for the destruction of three homes in Migron on Sunday night. The chairman of the Yesha Council - Danny Dayan - has condemned the attack.
A military official estimated that it would have been nearly impossible to penetrate the base without being exposed and believes that soldiers cooperated and even took part in the price tag acts.

The base walls near the jeeps were spray painted with slogans: "Binyamin Brigade Commander – bad for the Jews" and "Regards from the hills". The Shai District police and Investigating Military Police launched an investigation into the incident.

The Central Command said it viewed the incident with the utmost severity, adding that it was certain the police would carry out an efficient and speedy inquiry and would capture those responsible.

A source close to the settlers said in response to the incident that it was "very regretful that Netanyahu is dragging us to civil war and needless clashes within the army as well. Instead of stopping Beinish and Shai Nitzan and demanding enforcement for everyone, Netanyahu hits back at settlers and causes schisms."

...

The demolition work met with minor resistance, but a short time later Palestinians reported that the first floor of a mosque south of Nablus was set on fire.

The head of the Kusra Regional Council Hani Ismail Abu-Radi told Ynet that villagers arrived at the mosque at dawn for morning prayers and found the place on fire. "They entered the mosque with tires after they broke the windows and torched the first floor. We notified the Palestinian Liaison Office and they passed it on to the Israelis," he said.
And of course, everyone is assuming, without any proof, that both the mosque and military base attacks were carried out by 'settlers' in retaliation for the Migron destruction. But hey - this is Israel, where 'settlers' and other subhuman rightists are presumed guilty until proven innocent, whether individually or collectively.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

The Israeli government kicks innocent Jewish families out of their homes and then pretends to be outraged when its property is vandalized.

This was graffiti vandalism and its not even in the same league as throwing people out on the streets!

There is no sense of moral proportion in Israel. The again, "settlers" are viewed as guilty by the branja until proven innocent.
