The "Commonwealth" Roots of the Fiscal Crisis
José A. Delgado of El Nuevo Dia has published an editorial asking readers to think about what the current Puerto Rico bankruptcy controversy really means.
“The unilateral U.S. control in determining whether the government of Puerto Rico can access a general mechanism for orderly debt restructuring,” he says, “has laid bare the vast federal power over the island.”
Delgado goes on to list several examples in which the U.S. has asserted this power, some of them recent:
- The question of access to chapter 9 protection
- The rejection of Puerto Rico’s attempt last year to pass its own bankruptcy law
- The tax incentives for manufacturing and the end of those tax incentives
Delgado points out that there is no longer any support in Washington for”the old theory that the current commonwealth status is a bilateral pact.” Since the Clinton administration, he says, “Each officer of the congressional committees with jurisdiction over the political future of Puerto Rico, under Democrat or Republican leadership, has stressed the subordination of the island to the federal legislature.”
The Puerto Rico Report has published many such statements by congressional leaders. Delgado quotes the 2011 President’s Task Force on Puerto Rico’s Status that said, “Puerto Rico would be governed, as it is now, by the Territorial Clause of the US Constitution.” He refers to the statement of President George Bush that he could give Puerto Rico away to another country if he wanted to.
He also quotes Senator Fernando Martin:
At some point the three branches of US government, the Decolonization Committee of the United Nations, the Latin American public opinion -through the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) – and the majority of Puerto Ricans in the November 2012 plebiscite have spoken out against the continuation of the territorial regime.
And finally Delgado quotes Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi, who spoke bluntly on the subject:
When the Constitution came into force in 1952, did not change our political status… The name that we give the territory is irrelevant. We have been a territory from 1898 until today. The territorial status has always been, and always will be unfair, undemocratic and unworthy for the people of Puerto Rico.
There is no bilateral pact between the United States and Puerto Rico which Puerto Rico can negotiate. The current government refuses to accept this reality. In a speech on the anniversary of Puerto Rico’s constitution, Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla said that “the Commonwealth has to grow,” and announced that the federal government has no right to deny Puerto Rico the opportunity to restructure its debts.
As it happens, the federal government can do exactly that. It has done so, and the federal government may continue to do so. Such is the nature of being a U.S. territory. The Congress could allow Puerto Rico chapter 9 protection, and the current administration has expressed support for that action. But this option is under the control of Congress, not the “Commonwealth.”

Could Congress Give Puerto Rico Away? by hadeninteractive
The 2005 Report of the President’s Task Force on Puerto Rico contained this clear statement about the relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico:
The Federal Government may relinquish United States sovereignty by granting independence or ceding the territory to another nation; or it may, as the Constitution provides, admit a territory as a State, thus making the Territory Clause inapplicable. But the U.S. Constitution does not allow other options.
Many readers rephrased “ceding the territory to another nation” into common parlance. Hector Pesquera, for example, was quoted as saying, “Congress can give Puerto Rico away, sell it or set it on fire without asking anyone’s opinion.” A meagerly-supported petition at change.org asked the federal government to “give Puerto Rico back to Spain.”
The 2005 Report continues,
Some have proposed a “New Commonwealth” status. Under this proposal, the island would become an autonomous, non-territorial, non-State entity in permanent union with the United States under a covenant that could not be altered without the “mutual consent” of Puerto Rico and the federal Government. The U.S. Constitution, however, does not allow for such an arrangement. For entities under the sovereignty of the United States, the only constitutional options are to be a State or territory.
The 2007 Report of the President’s Task Force on Puerto Rico phrased it differently:
The plenary Congressional authority over a non-state area thus lasts as long as the area retains that status. It terminates when the area loses that status either by virtue of its admission as a State, or by the termination of the sovereignty of the United States over the area by the grant of independence, or by its surrender to the sovereignty of another country.
In other words, yes, Congress could give Puerto Rico away.
In a Senate subcommittee hearing in 2013, Puerto Rico’s Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla referenced Plessy vs. Ferguson, the “separate but equal” law in criticizing the decision to leave a “commonwealth” option off the 2012 plebiscite ballot. Listeners were confused by the reference.
The idea — indeed, the fact — that Congress has plenary power over a territory is not the same as the idea that “separate but equal” accommodations make segregation acceptable. The federal government decides whether “commonwealth” is possible under the U.S. constitution, and they repeatedly have decided that it is not.
The federal government determined that Puerto Rico can’t make laws about bankruptcy that conflict with the U.S. bankruptcy code, and Congress will be the body that determines whether Puerto Rico will have protection under chapter 9.
The federal government determines what kinds of relationships Puerto Rico may have with nations other than the United States, and the U.S. government has stepped in when Puerto Rico has tried to make relationships like a sovereign nation.
Even in 1880 (National Bank v. County of Yankton), the decision held that, “It is certainly now too late to doubt the power of Congress to govern the Territories.”
It is still too late.
Congress could legally give Puerto Rico to Spain, but there is no reason to think that this is an action Congress will take. With some five million U.S. citizens of Puerto Rican heritage living in the States, it is fair to assume that this would be an unpopular move. Puerto Ricans living in the States, unlike the 3.5 million living in Puerto Rico, have voting representatives in Congress and a voice in Presidential elections. This gives them a degree of political power that Puerto Rico, as a territory under the plenary power of Congress, does not have.

Chattanooga Gunman Was Said to Keep to Himself in Jordan
AMMAN, Jordan — The young visitor from America rode his skateboard, jogged near his house or strolled to the market, barely acknowledging his neighbors. He was a regular at the mosque, but never bothered to introduce himself to fellow worshipers, appearing as indifferent to them as he seemed to his surroundings.
“He made no effort,” said the mosque’s imam.
After Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, 24, was identified by the police as the gunman who killed five servicemen in Chattanooga, Tenn., last month, speculation arose in the United States about what he might have experienced in Jordan last year, during a monthslong visit to his family here before the attack.
Perhaps the young man became swept up in politics or militancy, in a country seared by wars across borders, or grasped for answers to his personal struggles, including depression, in Islam.
But the imam, Ayoub Bourini, and others in the tiny middle-class neighborhood in east Amman where Mr. Abdulazeez lived for a time said they had seen no sign of the rage he unleashed in Tennessee — or for that matter, any spark at all, describing a man whose mind always seemed to be elsewhere.
His apparent quest for piety at the mosque was also unremarkable — less searching than a matter of routine, the imam and others said. He had not been like the “aggressive ones” the imam had seen in his 10 years of leading services, men who verbally attacked him after he gave his weekly Friday sermon.
No one was able to say what Mr. Abdulazeez was doing in the privacy of his home, where he seemed to spend most of his time. But his apparent solitude added weight to early theories by investigators in the United States who suspected he had acted alone and was not directed by any militant group.
The attack, on July 16, was among several recent shootings by Americans that have left law enforcement officials grappling with the interior lives of the gunmen, rather than the sway of organized extremist groups. The expanding lexicon officials use to describe such men — phrases like “self-radicalizing,” or “lone wolves” — hardly seems to accommodate the psychological and social factors underpinning the violence.
They include Dylann Roof, a 21-year-old accused of killing nine parishioners in a church in Charleston, S.C. Like Mr. Abdulazeez, Mr. Roof drifted from job to job, had run-ins with the authorities and abused drugs and alcohol.
Mr. Abdulazeez, an American citizen who was born in Kuwait to Palestinian-Jordanian parents, had at times skipped his medications for depression, been arrested for drunken driving and faced bankruptcy. He had written about his “worthless” life and suicide, as well as his anger at American policies in the Middle East.
In the days leading up to the shooting, he searched the Internet for Islamic scholarship on martyrdom, apparently hoping it might absolve his sins, investigators said.
He had been sent to Jordan last year to live with his uncle and grandfather, to get away from “bad influences” at home in Tennessee, a family representative said.
American law enforcement officials had been investigating whether the uncle, As’ad Ibrahim As’ad Haj Ali, helped steer his nephew toward militancy. Jordanian investigators detained Mr. Ali last month, and F.B.I. agents were dispatched to question him and any associates.
Officials have not said what, if anything, the interrogation revealed. Mr. Ali, who was released from custody last week, greeted a reporter at the family home in Amman but declined to talk about his nephew.
Neighbors described Mr. Ali as a conservative Muslim — part of a clique that was active at the mosque — but said there was no sign that he had any strong ideological or political beliefs.
He and his nephew had lived together with the grandfather, in a white villa at the bottom of a hill. The neighborhood had sprouted only in the past few decades, on parcels of land the government sold around the old mosque, said Abdul Monem Barham, who lived next door to the grandfather’s house.
Tidy roads lined with small apartment buildings and villas trailed off into desert lots, signs of a neighborhood and a community still without shape. “People here are far from each other,” Mr. Barham said.
He thought Mr. Abdulazeez spent two or three months in Jordan — others said it was four to seven — surrounded by strangers in a country that often feels on edge.
The rise of the Islamic State extremist group in the region was just the latest source of anxiety in Jordan, a state filled with refugees of conflicts in Iraq, Syria and the Palestinian territories.
The economy, including the tourist industry, has suffered from the regional political turmoil as well as the aftereffect of the global recession, leading to growing inequality and flashes of popular discontent, according to Mouin Rabbani, a co-editor of Jadaliyya, an electronic magazine about the Middle East.
It was hard to say whether the political tensions stirred anything in Mr. Abdulazeez, given his apparent reluctance to engage with Jordanians. “He didn’t have any social relationships here, not even with his own generation,” said Qassem Mohammed, who lived two doors away from Mr. Abdulazeez and was one of the few people who remembered the young man without having to look at his photograph.
Mr. Abdulazeez was diligent about attending the mosque, Mr. Mohammed said. But, he added, “he didn’t open up.”
Mr. Rabbani, who is based in Amman, said that, without knowing anything about Mr. Abdulazeez’s time in Jordan, he seemed to fit with a trend of either “born-again” Muslims or recent converts who “generally have a shallow understanding of their religion.”
“If you’re on a journey of rediscovering or discovering your new identity, the field is primarily open for those who scream the loudest, who are able to give you the most black-and-white version with as little ambiguity or doubt or critical examination,” he said, adding that this phenomenon is hardly limited to Islam.
“You have confused, problematic, perhaps disturbed youngsters, who latch onto a simple explanation of the world that solves all their problems.”
The carnage in Chattanooga, like Mr. Abdulazeez’s visit, passed without much notice in the neighborhood, lost in the accounts of massacres and crimes in Syria or other places closer to home, said the imam, Mr. Bourini.
“Every day, there is news of death,” he said. “This was very far away.”

AMMAN, Jordan — The young visitor from America rode his skateboard, jogged near his house or strolled to the market, barely acknowledging his neighbors. He was a regular at the mosque, but never bothered to introduce himself to fellow worshipers, appearing as indifferent to them as he seemed to his surroundings.
“He made no effort,” said the mosque’s imam.
After Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, 24, was identified by the police as the gunman who killed five servicemen in Chattanooga, Tenn., last month, speculation arose in the United States about what he might have experienced in Jordan last year, during a monthslong visit to his family here before the attack.
Perhaps the young man became swept up in politics or militancy, in a country seared by wars across borders, or grasped for answers to his personal struggles, including depression, in Islam.
But the imam, Ayoub Bourini, and others in the tiny middle-class neighborhood in east Amman where Mr. Abdulazeez lived for a time said they had seen no sign of the rage he unleashed in Tennessee — or for that matter, any spark at all, describing a man whose mind always seemed to be elsewhere.
His apparent quest for piety at the mosque was also unremarkable — less searching than a matter of routine, the imam and others said. He had not been like the “aggressive ones” the imam had seen in his 10 years of leading services, men who verbally attacked him after he gave his weekly Friday sermon.
No one was able to say what Mr. Abdulazeez was doing in the privacy of his home, where he seemed to spend most of his time. But his apparent solitude added weight to early theories by investigators in the United States who suspected he had acted alone and was not directed by any militant group.
The attack, on July 16, was among several recent shootings by Americans that have left law enforcement officials grappling with the interior lives of the gunmen, rather than the sway of organized extremist groups. The expanding lexicon officials use to describe such men — phrases like “self-radicalizing,” or “lone wolves” — hardly seems to accommodate the psychological and social factors underpinning the violence.
They include Dylann Roof, a 21-year-old accused of killing nine parishioners in a church in Charleston, S.C. Like Mr. Abdulazeez, Mr. Roof drifted from job to job, had run-ins with the authorities and abused drugs and alcohol.
Mr. Abdulazeez, an American citizen who was born in Kuwait to Palestinian-Jordanian parents, had at times skipped his medications for depression, been arrested for drunken driving and faced bankruptcy. He had written about his “worthless” life and suicide, as well as his anger at American policies in the Middle East.
In the days leading up to the shooting, he searched the Internet for Islamic scholarship on martyrdom, apparently hoping it might absolve his sins, investigators said.
He had been sent to Jordan last year to live with his uncle and grandfather, to get away from “bad influences” at home in Tennessee, a family representative said.
American law enforcement officials had been investigating whether the uncle, As’ad Ibrahim As’ad Haj Ali, helped steer his nephew toward militancy. Jordanian investigators detained Mr. Ali last month, and F.B.I. agents were dispatched to question him and any associates.
Officials have not said what, if anything, the interrogation revealed. Mr. Ali, who was released from custody last week, greeted a reporter at the family home in Amman but declined to talk about his nephew.
Neighbors described Mr. Ali as a conservative Muslim — part of a clique that was active at the mosque — but said there was no sign that he had any strong ideological or political beliefs.
He and his nephew had lived together with the grandfather, in a white villa at the bottom of a hill. The neighborhood had sprouted only in the past few decades, on parcels of land the government sold around the old mosque, said Abdul Monem Barham, who lived next door to the grandfather’s house.
Tidy roads lined with small apartment buildings and villas trailed off into desert lots, signs of a neighborhood and a community still without shape. “People here are far from each other,” Mr. Barham said.
He thought Mr. Abdulazeez spent two or three months in Jordan — others said it was four to seven — surrounded by strangers in a country that often feels on edge.
The rise of the Islamic State extremist group in the region was just the latest source of anxiety in Jordan, a state filled with refugees of conflicts in Iraq, Syria and the Palestinian territories.
The economy, including the tourist industry, has suffered from the regional political turmoil as well as the aftereffect of the global recession, leading to growing inequality and flashes of popular discontent, according to Mouin Rabbani, a co-editor of Jadaliyya, an electronic magazine about the Middle East.
It was hard to say whether the political tensions stirred anything in Mr. Abdulazeez, given his apparent reluctance to engage with Jordanians. “He didn’t have any social relationships here, not even with his own generation,” said Qassem Mohammed, who lived two doors away from Mr. Abdulazeez and was one of the few people who remembered the young man without having to look at his photograph.

Suspect in Memphis Police Officer’s Death Turns Himself In
An ex-convict wanted in Tennessee for the murder of a Memphis police officer turned himself in to the authorities on Monday, law enforcement officials said.
Tremaine Wilbourn, 29, was taken into custody after surrendering to the United States Marshals Office, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office said.
Toney Armstrong, the Memphis police director, said Mr. Wilbourn, accompanied by a lawyer, turned himself in and was expected to be arraigned on Tuesday in the shooting of Officer Sean Bolton.
“I think he felt the walls closing in and realized that it was best to turn himself in,” Mr. Armstrong said. He said he spoke with Mr. Wilbourn before he was taken for questioning.
“He wanted to make it a point to say that, one, I am not a cold-blooded killer and, two, I am not a coward,” he said.
Mr. Wilbourn faces a charge of first-degree murder in the shooting of Officer Bolton during a traffic stop on Saturday night in southeast Memphis. The police said Officer Bolton, 33, was killed after he interrupted a drug deal.
Officials said Mr. Wilbourn was a passenger in a Mercedes-Benz that Officer Bolton approached because it was illegally parked. After a brief struggle with the officer, the police said, Mr. Wilbourn shot him multiple times and fled.
The driver, who also fled, surrendered to the police after a standoff on Sunday, and was later released without charge. Detectives found digital scales and a small bag of marijuana in his car, according to police officials.
Mr. Wilbourn was previously convicted of robbing a banking institution and sentenced to 10 years and one month in prison. He was on supervised release at the time of the shooting.

Dad Shoots Daughter While Teaching Her About Gun Safetyby Simon McCormack
A Florida father who was trying to teach his 12-year-old daughter about gun safety ended up shooting her in the arm, police said.
The incident took place on Sunday night at a home in Davie, Florida, CBS Miami reported.
The dad was trying to show his daughter how to draw a gun when the firearm went off, police said, according to NBC Miami.
The girl's injuries were not life-threatening.
A neighbor, who said she came outside when she heard the gunshot, described what she saw to CBS Miami.
"There was blood running down her leg," Kara Perez said. "She had white shorts on, so you could tell her whole front and side were full of blood."
Davie Police Sgt. Pablo Castaneda told The Huffington Post that, after interviewing the girl and her father separately, authorities believe the shooting was an accident. However, he said Child Protective Services is involved and the investigation is ongoing.
"There's no arrest and we're not releasing names at this point," Castaneda said.

The Lion-Hunting Dentist's Legal Situation Just Got a Lot Worse by Kevin Sali
By now, pretty much everyone has heard about Walter Palmer, the American dentist who killed famous Zimbabwean lion Cecil. Since news of the allegedly illegal killing started to spread, the public reaction has been remarkably hostile. For a while, it wasn't clear whether Palmer would face any legal consequences for his alleged actions. Late Friday, however, it was revealed that the Zimbabwean government has asked the United States to extradite Palmer. That's a significant development.
Whenever the alleged perpetrator of a crime is physically outside the prosecuting nation's boundaries, there are practical obstacles to prosecution. Although a nation can theoretically prosecute someone "in absentia," for practical purposes a conviction won't have any real effect unless that nation's government has physical control over the defendant. (This is one reason why, for example, nothing meaningful came of a Malaysian court's 2012 prosecution of George W. Bush and other American officials for war crimes.)
When a nation wants to bring charges against someone who's physically outside of its borders, it typically uses a process called "extradition," through which it asks the other nation to arrest the person and transport him to the prosecuting nation to face the charges. Many nations have extradition treaties with each other. These are agreements providing that if certain conditions are met -- for example, if proper procedures have been followed in the prosecuting nation and the charges are serious enough -- the defendant will be extradited from the "requested state" to the "requesting state" for prosecution.
Extradition can be a burdensome and expensive process. Multiple government agencies from each nation will often be involved, and the process can require several rounds of complicated procedures. The defendant, after being arrested in the requested state, can generally challenge whether his extradition would be consistent with the applicable treaty and any other governing rules, and may have the right to appeal an extradition decision.
For all of these reasons, nations don't always go to the trouble of seeking extradition, especially for relatively low-level offenses. When the Palmer case was first publicized, I had doubts as to whether Zimbabwe -- which does have an extradition treaty with the United States--would really invoke it.
Now that it has, though, there's a strong likelihood that it will be successful and that Palmer will be extradited. The bar for extradition is a low one. The requesting state doesn't have to prove that the defendant is actually guilty, because having such a requirement would essentially transfer power over the case to the requested state.
Instead, the requesting state generally only has to demonstrate that the proceeding itself is a legitimate one that has been properly instituted and that the charges qualify as extraditable ones. In the US-Zimbabwe extradition treaty, the primary applicable requirement is that the offense be punishable in both nations by imprisonment for more than one year. (The punishable-by-more-than-one-year requirement is a common one in extradition treaties; in the U.S., that line generally distinguishes felonies from misdemeanors, so that in essence only felonies are extraditable. The requirement that this must be the case in both nations is called the "dual criminality" requirement -- it's also common, and ensures that someone can't be extradited to face prosecution for something that's not a crime in the requested state.)
Those requirements appear to be met, although there will probably be legal wrangling over issues such as whether the particular charged conduct would constitute a felony in America. Palmer and his lawyers may have to resort to the next line of defense in extradition cases, which is essentially political. Political considerations can definitely play a role in extradition decisions. The requested state may have concerns over how the defendant will be treated if extradited; countries without capital punishment, for example, may refuse to extradite a defendant facing the possibility of that penalty in the requesting state, or may condition extradition on the requesting state's agreement not to seek the death penalty. Such considerations may be permitted by the treaty itself, but even if not the requested state may value protecting its own citizen more than honoring the treaty in a given case.
The problem for Palmer is that the political considerations appear to weigh at least as strongly against him as the legal ones. Unlike the Amanda Knox case, in which many Americans felt that Knox was being treated unfairly and would have strongly opposed any decision sending her back to Italy, in Palmer's case the weight of public opinion seems to favor extraditing him to face charges in Zimbabwe. Moreover, declining extradition could be seen as an insult to the Zimbabweans, and could be cited in the future by countries seeking not to honor American extradition requests.
I can't predict what will happen in the case itself; my mastery of Zimbabwean wildlife law is, I admit, less than comprehensive. But it's a good bet that he will indeed end up over there to face his charges.

Instead, the requesting state generally only has to demonstrate that the proceeding itself is a legitimate one that has been properly instituted and that the charges qualify as extraditable ones. In the US-Zimbabwe extradition treaty, the primary applicable requirement is that the offense be punishable in both nations by imprisonment for more than one year. (The punishable-by-more-than-one-year requirement is a common one in extradition treaties; in the U.S., that line generally distinguishes felonies from misdemeanors, so that in essence only felonies are extraditable. The requirement that this must be the case in both nations is called the "dual criminality" requirement -- it's also common, and ensures that someone can't be extradited to face prosecution for something that's not a crime in the requested state.)
Those requirements appear to be met, although there will probably be legal wrangling over issues such as whether the particular charged conduct would constitute a felony in America. Palmer and his lawyers may have to resort to the next line of defense in extradition cases, which is essentially political. Political considerations can definitely play a role in extradition decisions. The requested state may have concerns over how the defendant will be treated if extradited; countries without capital punishment, for example, may refuse to extradite a defendant facing the possibility of that penalty in the requesting state, or may condition extradition on the requesting state's agreement not to seek the death penalty. Such considerations may be permitted by the treaty itself, but even if not the requested state may value protecting its own citizen more than honoring the treaty in a given case.
The problem for Palmer is that the political considerations appear to weigh at least as strongly against him as the legal ones. Unlike the Amanda Knox case, in which many Americans felt that Knox was being treated unfairly and would have strongly opposed any decision sending her back to Italy, in Palmer's case the weight of public opinion seems to favor extraditing him to face charges in Zimbabwe. Moreover, declining extradition could be seen as an insult to the Zimbabweans, and could be cited in the future by countries seeking not to honor American extradition requests.
I can't predict what will happen in the case itself; my mastery of Zimbabwean wildlife law is, I admit, less than comprehensive. But it's a good bet that he will indeed end up over there to face his charges.
Whenever the alleged perpetrator of a crime is physically outside the prosecuting nation's boundaries, there are practical obstacles to prosecution. Although a nation can theoretically prosecute someone "in absentia," for practical purposes a conviction won't have any real effect unless that nation's government has physical control over the defendant. (This is one reason why, for example, nothing meaningful came of a Malaysian court's 2012 prosecution of George W. Bush and other American officials for war crimes.)
When a nation wants to bring charges against someone who's physically outside of its borders, it typically uses a process called "extradition," through which it asks the other nation to arrest the person and transport him to the prosecuting nation to face the charges. Many nations have extradition treaties with each other. These are agreements providing that if certain conditions are met -- for example, if proper procedures have been followed in the prosecuting nation and the charges are serious enough -- the defendant will be extradited from the "requested state" to the "requesting state" for prosecution.
Extradition can be a burdensome and expensive process. Multiple government agencies from each nation will often be involved, and the process can require several rounds of complicated procedures. The defendant, after being arrested in the requested state, can generally challenge whether his extradition would be consistent with the applicable treaty and any other governing rules, and may have the right to appeal an extradition decision.
For all of these reasons, nations don't always go to the trouble of seeking extradition, especially for relatively low-level offenses. When the Palmer case was first publicized, I had doubts as to whether Zimbabwe -- which does have an extradition treaty with the United States--would really invoke it.
Now that it has, though, there's a strong likelihood that it will be successful and that Palmer will be extradited. The bar for extradition is a low one. The requesting state doesn't have to prove that the defendant is actually guilty, because having such a requirement would essentially transfer power over the case to the requested state.

Meir Ettinger, Suspected Head Of Jewish Extremist Group, Arrested Following Deadly West Bank Arson by Jade Walker
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel said Tuesday it was interrogating the suspected head of a Jewish extremist group in the first arrest of an Israeli suspect following last week's arson attack in the West Bank that killed a Palestinian toddler and wounded his brother and parents.
According to the Shin Bet security agency, 23-year-old Meir Ettinger was arrested late Monday for "involvement in an extremist Jewish organization."
The agency would not say if he is also suspected in the July 31 arson attack, but it has accused Ettinger of heading an extremist movement seeking to bring about religious "redemption" through attacks on Christian sites and Palestinian homes.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged "zero tolerance" for Jewish terrorism following a pair of deadly attacks by extremists. The Palestinians toddler was burned to death a day after an anti-gay ultra-Orthodox man stabbed a 16-year-old Jewish girl during a rampage against marchers at Jerusalem's gay pride parade. The teenage girl later died.
Authorities are now expected to crack down much harder on suspected Jewish extremist cells, particularly among West Bank settler youths.
Israeli media have dubbed Ettinger as the Shin Bet's "number one" most wanted Jewish extremist. He has been arrested several times before and banned from the West Bank. Ettinger is also the grandson of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, an ultranationalist whose party was banned from Israel's parliament for its racist views in 1988. Kahane was killed by an Arab gunman in 1990.
Ettinger has denied leading an extremist movement. His lawyer, Yuval Zemer, told Israel's Army Radio that authorities arrested his client to appease an Israeli public outraged by the arson attack.
"There was no urgent need to arrest here, other than some kind of desire to show, 'Here, we're doing something, here, we're arresting,'" said Zemer. "Of course, what is better than the number one most wanted target?"
The arrest comes on the heels of a violent spate of attacks in Israel and the Palestinian territories that threatened to ignite widespread violence in the region.
The Shin Bet would not say whether Ettinger had anything to do with the attack on the West Bank home, which killed 18-month-old Ali Dawabsheh and severely injured his parents and 4-year-old brother.
However, the agency singled out Ettinger two days before the attack, when it announced it had uncovered a Jewish extremist movement of young settler activists responsible for a June arson attack of the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fish, a prominent Catholic church near the Sea of Galilee, and a number of other hate crimes. The Shin Bet at the time accused Ettinger of heading the movement.
Authorities said last week they have filed indictments against two other young Israeli extremists and arrested three others in connection with the church arson attack. The Shin Bet said Ettinger's group vandalized a number of Christian religious sites in the past two years, tried to disrupt Pope Benedict XVI's 2014 visit to the Holy Land, and committed "more significant terrorist attacks of arson" against Palestinian homes in the West Bank over the past year.
A month before the attack on the church, Ettinger called on his blog for more attacks on Christian religious sites. He had lived in recent months in unauthorized Jewish settlement encampments in the West Bank set up by the "hilltop youth," the Shin Bet said, using a term referring to radicalized Jewish teen squatters on West Bank hilltops who have been known to attack Palestinians and their property.
Six months ago, authorities signed a year-long order preventing Ettinger from entering Jerusalem and the West Bank settlements, saying he posed a danger there. He moved to the northern city of Tzfat, a hub for Jewish religious mystics.
In a blog post, Ettinger denied the Shin Bet's accusation that he leads an extremist organization.
"There is no terror organization, but there are many, many Jews, many more than people think, whose value system is completely different than that of the Israeli Supreme Court or the Shin Bet," he wrote in a July 30 blog post. "The laws they are bound by are not the State's laws ... but laws that are much more eternal and real."
Also Tuesday, Israeli security forces demolished a Jewish settlement house in an outpost of the Eli settlement that had been built illegally on private Palestinian land in the West Bank. COGAT, the defense body that handles civilian issues with the Palestinians, said the demolition was coordinated with the settlers and there were no protests.
Last week, settlers clashed with Israeli troops as Israeli bulldozers demolished a contested housing complex in another Jewish settlement in the West Bank.
