RAMALLAH, October 9, 2011 (WAFA) – The vandalism of Muslim and Christian cemeteries in Jaffa city on Friday night in a suspected “price tag” attack by extremist Jews dominated Sunday’s issues of the three Palestinian Arabic dailies.

Al-Quds featured the assault on more than half of its front page, reporting on mass Arab protests against the second Jewish extremists’ attack on holy places in less than a week, following the arson of a mosque in Tuba-Zangaria village in the Galilee last week.

The daily printed a picture of an Arab standing next to one of the vandalized graves, showing inscription of racist slogans such as “death to Arabs” and “price tag.”

Al-Hayat al-Jadida featured, on its front page, a general strike organized by the National Campaign to Support Palestinian Prisoners across the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.

The newspaper showed a picture of Palestinians lighting candles in a night demonstration in front of the United Nations headquarters in Ramallah, in support of Palestinian prisoners who continue their open hunger strike for the 13th day against the Israeli isolation policy and humiliating practices against them.

The escalating situation in Syria made it to Al-Ayyam’s front page, following the death of 14 Syrian civilians at the hands of Bashar al-Assad’s troops, including six people who were killed while attending the Kurdish activist Mashaal Tammo’s funeral on Saturday.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida reported that Israel will release the remains of a Palestinian member of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, 35 years after his death in a firefight with the Israeli army in 1967.

An al-Quds editorial addressed the ongoing Jewish extremists’ campaign of desecration of Islamic and Christian holy sites, and the mass Arab responses demanding that the Israeli government protects the holy sites.
