#1 Right wing - extreme - American. No agenda here obviously.

#2 Are you disputing the facts in this article, phil_b, or do you just not like them?

For most of us, thankfully, people who advocate murder for political or religious reasons are safely considered 'extreme'.

#3 Bulldog the article blends reportage with agenda peddling. There is no advocacy of murder. To say you wish someone were dead is not the same as advocacy. I have have recently said I wish Castro would hurry up and die. I was certainly not advocating murder. Otherwise this is people being driven out of their homes to satisfy geopolitics. At best it leaves a bad taste.

#4 My daughter who lives in Israel has met some of these hilltop settlers.

A few of them are just naive, a few are groupies of charismatic leaders, a few are just mentally ill but some are basically sadistic thugs.

Israel would have arrested the thugs long ago but their civil rights laws are as difficult to navigate as ours, maybe more so since the groups, naivites, etc. don't testify against the thugs.

#5 Wack-job religous nuts need to be shut down if they have violent tendencies. The specific nature of their religion is immaterial. If civilized governments don't do this then they have no right to condemn other govt's who are slow to clean up messes in their tent.
