Jews know that a number of ultra-Orthodox Jews, for religious reasons, believe the State of Israel should not yet exist.
Among ultra-Orthodox Jews, this view is not uncommon. Many interpret passages in religious texts to mean that the messiah must arrive before the State of Israel is reconstituted.
He pointed to a portion of the Talmud -- ancient rabbinic commentaries on Jewish law -- that states that before the messiah's arrival, Jews must live in exile and should not use "human force" to establish their own nation.
Among the statements the jewish vandalists painted in Hebrew at the memorial: "If Hitler had not existed, the Zionists would have invented him" and "Jews wake up -- the Zionist regime is dangerous."
But Cohen also expressed an understanding of the sentiments expressed in their graffiti. "There were Zionists who were complicit in the Holocaust, because they stood by and refused to save Jews, knowing that the destruction of European Jewry would create a political climate conducive to the founding of a Jewish state," he said.
"Jews overwhelmingly believed until not so long ago that the establishment of the Jewish people to their homeland could only take place when the messiah comes," Cohen said.
The religious identities of the culprits -- however surprising to many who read of their arrests last Tuesday (June 26) -- did not surprise many Israelis, however. They know that a number of ultra-Orthodox Jews, for religious reasons, believe the State of Israel should not yet exist.
