The "price tag" continues to rage: Graffiti readings "Muhammad is a dead pig," "Death to the Arabs," and "Price Tag" were discovered this morning (Sunday) on fences at a construction site on Even Sapir Street in Petah Tikva.
Last week, a sign on a bus stop on the same street read: "Death to Arabs.".
Last night, a swastika was sprayed at the Yarkoni intersection. Sharon Region Police are investigating the incidents and whether there is a connection between them.
On the other hand, an Arab 'price tag' was discovered in Samaria: During an activity by the security department of the Emmanuel local council, a sign was found that had been pasted on a bus stop, which read in English: "Israel is a terrorist state" and "Fly from our land." A Palestinian flag was also placed there, and graffiti was sprayed.
The Emmanuel local council said: "This is a serious act. Apparently there are terrorist elements in the area, backed by left-wing organizations, who are trying to harm the fabric of life between Israelis and Arabs. We call for an investigation into the incident and the perpetrators to be caught.".
Against the backdrop of Price Tag events occurring daily, on both sides of the fence, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, together with Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch, established a special team to examine the issue, and they are soon expected to present to the government the conclusions gathered since the declaration of Price Tag as an unauthorized association.
Now the two want to take it a step further, and the government will discuss whether to define the price tag gangs as a terrorist organization in every sense of the word, which would allow for more stringent measures against them.
Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein has already expressed his opinion in the discussions that were held, according to which there is no objection to declaring Price Tag cells a terrorist organization, and in special cases when there is intelligence evidence of involvement in hate crimes, it will be possible to detain the suspects in administrative detention for a long period, without trial.
