The Rabbi and Rosh Yeshiva of Beit El, Rabbi Zalman Baruch Melamed related to the recent wave of ‘Price Tag’ incidents. “The media is interested in de-legitimizing the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria. Some rabbis were quick to condemn the incidents, but these condemnations serve the purpose of the media. Silence would be a better response, or a response of ‘We will continue to settle the land, despite all you say’. I don’t have to apologize for a crime I didn’t commit.”
