"Jewish Taliban"

[Theophylact]

From a terrifying article in today's New York Times Magazine (FRYYY):

Maon Farm is... a particularly volatile outpost: last year, a resident of Maon Farm was among a group arrested and charged with planting a bomb at an Arab school in Jerusalem.

The founder of Maon Farm, Yehoshefat Tor, says he still thinks the bombing was a good idea. ''The Torah says we should kill all the Arabs,'' he told me. ''Not just Arabs who maybe help terrorists. Everybody.''

His neighbor at Maon Farm, David Ben Zvi, a 27-year-old shepherd who lives with his wife and children in a blue-and-white city bus, tells me that he would like to see a ''Jewish Taliban'' that would run the country according to the Torah. ''This is my land, but it is not my nation,'' he says. ''I am waiting for King Messiah, a serious leader, to take out the Knesset, to say, 'The army is mine.'''

A curse on all zealots.

That seems to be pretty much what israel plans on doing.

Extremists on both sides are wrong. I will say that if the Palestinians continue on their current path, Israel may very well push everyone of them out of the occupied territories and into Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Egypt. Not that those countries would really treat them any better.

Yep. Everywhere. Even in the US and UK and Australia.

And some of 'em get elected to government.

Believe it.
