The truth is NOT being told in the US press..,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,., WHY -?
The report noted: "Attacks by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinian residents, property, and places of worship in the West Bank continued and were largely unprosecuted according to UN and NGO sources."
On May 7, (2012) the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Fouad Twal, the Vatican's representative in the Holy Land, released astatement condemning a surge in hate crimes against Christian holy sites ahead of Pope Francis' visit to Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories later in the month, and calling on the Israeli government to do more to protect Christians and their property. Lamenting that the "wave of fanaticism and intimidation against Christians continues," the Patriarch blamed the Israeli government for the lack of effort that Israeli police have put into bringing the perpetrators of hate crimes against Palestinians to justice, referring to a "lack of responsiveness from the political sector."
Four days later, on May 11, Patriarch Twal again questioned the Israeli government's commitment to stopping anti-Christian attacks, asking at a press conference: "In light of the fact that the great majority of vandalism acts do not lead to trials, we must ask if the government is willing to get down to the root of the problem?"
Echoing the Latin Patriarch's concerns about Israeli government complicity, on May 12, two former heads of Israel's secret police, the Shin Bet, Carmi Gillon and Shabtai Shavit, accused the Netanyahu government of not being interested in stopping hate crimes against Palestinians. Gillon declared: "We don't see results, because we're not intended to see them... There's no such thing as 'can't do' in the Shin Bet, just 'don't want,'" while Shavit stated: "Israel is a lawful country that does not enforce its laws." Similarly, in June 2012, Dan Halutz, former chief of staff of the Israeli army, said that Prime Minister Netanyahu wasn't really interested in stopping the perpetrators of price tag attacks, stating: "If we wanted, we could catch them and when we want to, we will." A few months earlier, in March 2012, the Guardian newspaper reported that senior European Union officials had drafted a confidential report concluding: "settler violence enjoys the tacit support of the state of Israel."
In occupied East Jerusalem, Christian clergy face harassment from ultra-Orthodox Jews in the Old City. In November 2011, Haaretz newspaper reported that ultra-Orthodox Jews were cursing and spitting at Christian clergy in the streets of the Old City "as a matter of routine." The chief secretary of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate explained: "It happens a lot. You walk down the street and suddenly they spit at you for no reason." A student at the city's Armenian Seminary complained that he was subjected to insults and spitting from ultra-Orthodox men on a daily basis, stating: "When I see an ultra-Orthodox man coming toward me in the street, I always ask myself if he will spit at me." According to a separate Haaretzarticle published in February 2012, spitting incidents were so prevalent that some priests had stopped visiting certain parts of the Old City.
