West Bank – Israeli police Sunday said they arrested a second suspect following an arson attack on a mosque blamed on a pro-settler militant group, known by its slogan “price tag.”

Israel named a special task force to investigate last week’s blaze in the Israeli Arab village of Tuba-Zangariya, amid fears it may exacerbate tensions with Palestinians.
The suspect, an Israeli male, would be remanded in a court in the Tel Aviv area Monday morning, said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld.
Another Israeli, a West Bank settler, 18, was due in court again after his arrest late last week, Rosenfeld said.
Both “are suspected of direct involvement in the incident,” Rosenfeld said.
I don’t think there is much disagreement that this extremist group needs to be squashed before c’v we have another baruch goldstein (y’s) event which jeopardized the safety of all of klal yisroel. Yes, the police need to do a better job of protecting the settlers, but for this small group of fanatics to pour gasoline on a fire is going to result in even more bloodshed. There needs to be firm and swift punishment to deter further incidents of vigilante action by Israelis against Palestinians, especially such incidents as vandalizing or burning their holy places.
Price tagging is a busha
its amazing how many of you “Jews” equate Jewish life with an empty building, if we are burning down buildings in revenge for our very lives so be it. however i still dont think this anything but a chiloni plot to sell out the settlers, as there is zero proof being released to the public.
