The Religion Globe website reports today (October 11, 2011) that unknown assailants -- believed to be Jewish extremists -- have vandalized Muslim cemeteries, mosques, and farmlands in a series of attacks that have put Israel on edge.
"It's against everything that the Jewish people stand for, as a country and as a democracy," said Israeli President Shimon Peres, a Nobel Peace laureate.
In the latest incident, vandals spray-painted "Death to the Arabs" in Muslim and Christian cemeteries in the Jaffa section of Tel Aviv.
The rampage -- discovered late Saturday after Yom Kippur -- followed a mosque burning last week in an Arab village in northern Israel.
