Default On one hand, on the other hand

I thought it worthwhile to bring up the issue of the settlers, specifically those that refer to them as "extremist" and "radical", using the same words that describe hard-line Palestinians.

A simple comparison shows the stark contrast between these two groups of "radicals".

Rabbi calls for tolerance; girls hurl eggs
Today, in Jerusalem, two rallies were held. The first in Jerusalem at the Kotel, in which opponents of the disengagement, the hardcore right wingers, committed the outrageous act of throwing eggs at the IDF Orchestra. The second in Sakar Square, where the same youths we saw on top of the synagogues on CNN were ordered by the religious Rabbis to have tolerance and make connections with the rest of Israel.

Palestinians clash in Gaza
At the same time, in Gaza, PA Police Officers were met with gunfire when defending the Karni crossing into Israel. The PA Police acts to impose order and PA policy, and Islamic Jihad, the Arabs' right-wing organization, resists with Kalashnikovs.
