This week, one of Jerusalem's most famous Christian sites was targeted - the latest in a series of attacks believed to be carried out by Israeli extremists. This was the fourth attack on Christian sites this year.
"Jesus, son of a Whore" was written in Hebrew on the Church of the Dormition on Mount Zion. In the past, mosques in the West Bank were attacked but more recently Christian holy places inside Israel have also been targeted.
Last month, "Jesus is a Monkey" was written on the Latrun monastery, near Jerusalem, and its door set on fire.
Prime Minister Harper has not condemned these attacks on the sanctity and inviolability of Christianity and has instead recently supported Israel.
