3. The thing to keep sight of is that in Israel Glick is anything but a fringe extremist.

Edited on Sun May-30-10 02:38 PM by Donald Ian Rankin

Every country has lunatics like Glick; in Israel they make up most of the current government and much of the electorate, whereas support for ending the occupation is a very fringe position indeed.

A policy of supporting the moderates against the extremists in Israel will not help; what is needed is to support the left-wing "extremists" - Levy, Burston, Derfner, the Meretz party and their ilk - against what by Israeli standards are moderates.
