Price tag vandals wrote "Arabs=thieves" in a small Arab neighborhood in Jerusalem.

It is not so easy. One rabbi told The Jewish Press last week that a small group of hotheads in one particular outpost won’t listen to any normal national religious leader. “They are in a cult and they won’t listen to me,” he said.

However, not all of the blame and responsibility has to fall on the rabbis. The vandals usually live adjacent to larger communities, and there is no reason that they cannot place economic sanctions on them and take other measures to help put the vandals behind bars or convince them they are criminals in violation of Jewish and secular law.
