All shades of grey, Israeli terrorists thugging innocent Palestinians and Israeli peace sympathists:

But it’s also been clear for some time that the Israeli government has been too hesitant in cracking down on so-called price-tag attacks perpetrated by settler extremist groups in retaliation for either Palestinian violence or Israeli government concessions. The current wave of price-tag violence grew out of resentment by settlers following Israel’s 2005 withdrawal from Gaza and has continued to pick up steam. The Washington Post reported last summer:
Now, the attacks are growing and so are the targets, which include not only Muslims in the West Bank and Israel, but left-leaning activists, as well as Christian schools, churches and monasteries, which vandals have tagged with graffiti.
According to civil rights groups, price-tag attacks have grown from a handful in 2008 to 23 so far this year. One group counts more than 20 incidents at mosques and churches since 2010. There were three price-tag incidents in June in neighborhoods and towns around Jerusalem.
The attacks have at times been more dangerous, including the firebombing of a Palestinian taxi and the attempted lynching of several Palestinian teens by a group of Israeli teenagers, which came on the same day in 2012. An attack on an Israeli army base by West Bank settlers in 2011 was described by Defense Minister Ehud Barak as “homegrown terror.” The U.S. State Department began listing price-tag attacks as acts of terrorism in 2012.
