Netanyahu Attacked by Extremists

The Jerusalem Post reports that Netanyahu was attacked Thursday night -- he's fine, luckily. But what the hell are these right-wing extremists doing chanting, ""The blood of Jews cannot be abandoned, it is forbidden to uproot Jews from their home" (according to Army radio), and thinking these actions will actually help their cause? Thankfully, there was a voice of reason from the opposing camp:

On Friday, the Council of Jewish Settlements in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip denounced the attack on Netanyahu. According to a statement the council released, "Violence and aggressiveness are not part of our way. Achieving [our] objectives and stopping the disengagement plan can only be done through a decision of the people and a democratic process."

In my mind, this is what differentiates the Jewish community from many in the moderate Muslim community -- we denounce our extremist fringe element, and we don't use the word "but" in that denouncement.
