The Roman Catholic church demanded Israeli action Wednesday after suspected Jewish extremists daubed hate graffiti on Vatican-owned offices in annexed Arab east Jerusalem just two weeks before a papal visit.

Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch said the government planned to use detention without trial against the suspected extremists as it comes under mounting pressure over its failure to secure a single prosecution in an intensifying wave of hate crime.

Hebrew-language graffiti reading “Death to Arabs and Christians and those who hate Israel” was daubed over offices of the Assembly of Bishops at the Notre Dame centre, a Vatican-owned complex opposite the walls of Jerusalem’s Old City, on Monday, the Roman Catholic church said.

“The Notre Dame centre is the property of the Holy See and this provocation comes two weeks before Pope Francis’s visit to the Holy Land and Jerusalem,” the Latin patriarchate said on its website.

1. That's nice, they can be hypocrites together..both very good at it too.

Detention without trial is wrong, no matter what. Who is examining why there has been no success
at any prosecutions..anyone?

This was interesting: *Justice Minister Tzipi Livni said on Sunday she would back the idea of defining such crimes as “terrorism” after the U.S. State Department for the first time included mention of price tag attacks in its global report on terror.
