    The Call Up

    I noticed that too, but I think Glenn was smart not to get dragged into the "their extremists are worse than our extremists" thing. However, I would add Ariel Sharon, who resigned as Defense Minister following the invasion of Lebanon in the eighties to avoid being charged with war crimes.

    But in reality, any Israeli leader who supports inserting Israeli populations into the territories and maintaining martial law in Jerusalem, the WB and blockading Gaza is an extremist in my eyes. As bad (or worse when you consider the means at their disposal) than Hamas.
