The Duma arson attack , near the outpost of Adei Ad , was defined officially as an act of Jewish terrorism , and was the most severe of at least 120 settler assaults on Palestinians that took place leading up to the incident . Duma is an amenable well-treed Palestinian village near Nablus . Close by is an Israeli settlement Ma'ale Efrayim , where many of Duma 's residents , including the father of the Dawabsheh family was employed . One day before the attack , Ettinger wrote on his blog a disavowal he was in any way connected to price tag assaults , while stating that many Jews are not bound by the laws of the state , but only God 's law . As to the Duma firebombing , he protested on his blog that the outcry of protests over the arson constituted a " terrorist attack on Judaism and Jewish values "
