Suspected Israeli nationalists set fire to a Christian seminary in Jerusalem and vandalized an elementary school in Nablus on Thursday, officials said. The attacks, which came a day after a similar group burned a mosque near Bethlehem, have been characterized as hate crimes by Israeli officials and "terrorism" by Palestinians.

According to local media reports, the assailants poured flammable liquid into a bathroom window of the Greek Orthodox seminary and ignited it. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said "anti-Christian" slogans were scribbled in Hebrew on the seminary's walls — including “Jesus is a son of a whore” and “the redemption of Zion.”

The fire damaged the compound’s bathroom facilities, but was quickly subdued by city fire officials. No one was injured in the blaze.

Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat said in a statement that the fire at the seminary was set deliberately and "there is no room for such deplorable activity" in the city, which is deemed holy to Jews, Muslims and Christians. The majority of Palestinian Christians are members of the Greek Orthodox Church.

Shortly after the arson attack, Israeli settlers reportedly vandalized an elementary school in the West Bank village of Urif, south of Nablus. According to Ma'an News, the settlers, who hail from the nearby Yizhar settlement, scrawled a Star of David along with the words “Death to Arabs” on the building’s entrance.

The latest spate of provocations by Israeli nationalists against Palestinians appeared to have started Wednesday, when settlers vandalized and set fire to a mosque in the village of Al-Jaba’ah. The attackers reportedly broke the windows of the sanctuary and threw burning objects inside, after spray-painting the words “Revenge for the Land of Zion” and “Price Tag” on its exterior.

If you think it’s Muslims who are pretending to be Jews, who did this, then you’re wrong!

There’s no fog in Israel, when Netanyahu says he’s going after Jewish Terrorists ... like the Jewish price tag terrorists, who have been arrested, and other Jews who have committed terrorist acts.

You may be “foggy” but Netanyahu isn’t!

I never said anything about Netanyahu.

So fog of war + a foggy star traveler feeding me a non-sequitor.

I mentioned Netanyahu. Netanyahu is the one in charge of taking care of Israel, who is going to make sure that Jewish Terrorists feel the full weight of Israeli law on their backs!

And that includes the Jews involved in this attack, in this article.

No, you just didn’t understand ‘fog of war’ meant I understand I jumped to a conclusion.
