I've Been Thinking:Israeli undercover police dressed as settlers arrested a youth from Yitzhar who was the subject of an arrest warrant.
The police entered in disguise so as not to cause a scene or endanger themselves.
Yitzhar is a hotbed of Jewish anti-Palestinian attacks. It is the HQ of "price tag" reprisals where Israelis strike out at Palestinians and their property in what they consider to be acts of reprisal.
The police have been cracking down on vigilantism and concentrating on arresting Jewish groups involved in illegal acts of violence.
The Od Yosef Chai Yeshivah in Yitzhar is run by Rabbi Ginsburg. He is the author of the book about Jewish terrorist Baruch Goldstein entitled "Baruch HaGever" which means "Baruch the Heroic Man."
Rabbi Ginsburg has been at the heart of much of the vigilantism.
Several years ago Rabbi Ginsburg was charged with inciting violence, all charges against him were
dropped when he retracted his calls to violence.
Israel is a state of law and justice. Citizens may not take the law into their own hands and the police must arrest those who do.
