Israeli settler rabbi slams 'price tag' violence

[oberliner]

JERUSALEM (AFP) -- A prominent settler rabbi on Monday slammed so-called "price tag" acts of violence against Palestinians and the Israeli army, saying they undermined Jewish presence in the occupied West Bank.

"We condemn the actions termed 'price tag' against the IDF , mosques and innocent Arabs," says a petition penned by Rabbi Yaakov Medan, one of the heads of the Har Etzion yeshiva, or Jewish seminary, near the southern town of Bethlehem.

"These deeds are totally unacceptable from a moral and national perspective, and endanger the entire settlement movement in Judea and Samaria," it reads, using the biblical term for the West Bank.
