Description:

Vandals painted "Death to Christianity" and other anti-Christian slogans on a building that houses several Christian congregations in West Jerusalem. Other slogans included, "Jesus is dead", "We will crucify you", "Jesus is the son of a whore" and "price tag". The latter slogan is used by pro-settler activists to take revenge for actions to remove illegal West Bank settlements. Pastor Chuck Kopp, pastor of a Baptist congregation that meets in the building noted that the church had been attacked by arson and similar attacks in the past. Four cars also had their tires slashed, though notably two of them belonged to members of a synagogue next door that shares the parking lot.
