According to a study by the political scientist Noemi Gal-Or , after the creation of Israel , Jewish terrorism has been assessed in Israel as " far less significant " than Arab terrorism . It lasted a few years during the 1950s and was directed at internal Israeli-Jewish targets , not at the Israeli Arab population . There was then a long intermission until the 1980s , when the Jewish Underground was exposed . However , some argue that in the modern era Jewish religious extremism has been greatly underestimated . The phenomena of price tag attacks began around 2008 . These are hate crimes committed by extremist settler Jewish Israelis that usually involve the destruction of property or hateful graffiti , particularly targeting property associated with Arabs , Christians , secular Israelis , and Israeli soldiers . The name was derived from the words " Price tag " which may be scrawled on the site of the attack — with the allegation that the attack was a " price " for settlements the government forced them to give up and revenge for Palestinian attacks on settlers . They have been variously called terrorism , particularly when they result in death . Another modern phenomenon is " revenge " attacks , motivated by a desire for " revenge " against Palestinian terrorism . A particularly egregious example of this phenomenon was the Kidnapping and murder of Mohammed Abu Khdeir , in which a Palestinian teenager was burned to death by an Israeli man and two teenagers . Their declared motive was vengeance for the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers . In July 2015 , two attacks suspected to be by religious Israeli Jews occurred a day apart , the first a stabbing attack at a Jerusalem Gay Pride Parade and the second a price-tag arson attack against a Palestinian house in Duma . Shortly after the two terror attacks , one of which killed an Israeli girl and another a Palestinian infant , Israel came under criticism , including from within its government and from the Jewish community in the U.S. , for not doing enough to address the threat of terrorism by Jewish extremists . Those saying Israel should be more proactive in addressing Jewish extremism included the ADL and AJC
