Vandals burned the door of a Trappist monastery at Latrun, near Jerusalem, early Tuesday and scrawled anti-Christian slogans on the walls. The Israeli authorities said they suspected it was the work of Jewish extremists avenging recent moves against unauthorized settlement outposts in the West Bank. The graffiti included “Jesus is a monkey” and the names of two small outposts where security forces have destroyed structures several times. The vandals also wrote “mutual concern,” code in settler circles for the policy of exacting a price for army and police actions against the outposts. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders condemned the act, as did regional leaders of the Roman Catholic Church.Source.

This brought to my mind St. Philoumenos the New of Jacob's Well, who was brutally murdered with a hatchet by Judiac Zionists in November 1979.
