Palestinian institutions condemn Jewish desecration of Christian cemetery

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Two Palestinian institutions condemned on Monday the Jewish desecration of a Christian cemetery in occupied Jerusalem.Four Jewish fanatics of the so-called “Price Tag” gangs destroyed on Sunday the headstones of 15 graves in the Christian cemetery in occupied Jerusalem in a Wakf land owned by the Dajani family.Other groups of Jewish fanatics attacked and damaged eight cars owned by Arabs in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem also on Sunday.The Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage described in a statement the attack on the Christian cemetery as “terrorist and cowardly”.It said that the Israeli occupation authority was responsible for not adopting firm positions against those gangs, which encouraged them to launch more attacks.The foundation said that the Jewish attacks on Islamic and Christian holy places in Palestine would only boost “our insistence on preserving and defending them”.For its part, the Islamic Christian commission in support of Jerusalem and holy sites called for an end to such practices, noting that attacks on the Islamic and Christian graveyards had increased recently.It said that the Judaization schemes in Jerusalem were on the rise as evident in the building of synagogues, Talmudic parks, and public utilities coupled with the forced dislocation of Jerusalemites and razing their homes and the daily storming of the holy Aqsa Mosque./149
