Two Palestinian Arabs have been arrested by Palestinian Authority (PA) Security Forces, after they set a Christmas tree on fire in the Arab Christian majority town of Zababdeh near Jenin in Samaria.

A PA security officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed the arson that took place on Wednesday in statements made Friday in time for Christmas, the Associated Press reports.

While alleged Jewish "price tag" vandalism attacks have been widely decried by the PA, in Israel and on the international scene, Wednesday's attack on a Christian symbol has been met with a deafening lack of condemnation. ...

From Wikipedia

Price tag policy (Hebrew: מדיניות תג מחיר), also known as “Mutual Responsibility” (Arvut Hadadit),[1] also referred to as a “tactic”,[2] “strategy”,[3] “doctrine”,[4] “campaign”,[5] or “principle”,[6] is the name originally[7][8] given to acts of vandalism aimed at the Palestinian population, Christians, left-wing Israeli Jews,[9] Arab-Israelis, and the Israel Defense Forces and Israeli police[10][11][12] by Jewish fundamentalist settler youths[13] who “exact a price from local Palestinians or from the Israeli security forces for any action taken against their settlement enterprise”, according to the New York Times.[14][15][16] Price tag attacks now extend to acts of vandalism, and especially to acts of anti-Arab vandalism,[17] suspected to be the work of lone individuals, against the Israeli army and security services, as well as against Christian and Muslim places of worship, and also against left-wing institutions that criticize settlers.[18][19] [20]In May 2014, Shin Bet said the price-tag hate crimes were the handiwork of about 100 individuals mainly hailing from the Yitzhar settlement and hilltop outposts, and were inspired by the ideas of rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburg.[21]

It is most likely that the majority of so-called “price tag” incidents are faked by Arabs.

At least they acknowledged it as a “Christmas Tree”. Around most people don’t have enough common sense to recognize an evergreen tree covered in Christmas lights and decorations as being a Christmas tree. The libtards around here strip it of its dignity by calling it a “holiday tree”, without naming which holiday they mean. I don’t know which action is worse.
