In today's New York Times: Troops and Extremists Face Off in West Bank. I don't think that wanting your own country, and being ready to kill for it, is extreme. Maybe foolish and harmful, but perfectly normal. In which case, the Israeli soldiers are defending an extreme, but correct position, that you do not own land just because you grabbed it. I agree with them. (Who would have thought? I agree with Israeli soldiers!) The article should have said "Extremists and Ordinary People Face Off in West Bank."
