Reply #6: It Makes One Long, Mr. Priv

[The Magistrate]

For the days when Mr. Sharon could be safely viewed as the acme of the right in Israel.

It is worth pointing out that the "dangerous policies" he is embarked on, and that these reptiles express murderous opposition to, are hardly a danger to the state of Israel. They are, in fact, the solidification of the most that Israeli power can reasonably secure, and impose on the people of Arab Palestine. They are, in short, the peace of a reasonable victor.

The only thing these policies are any danger to is the expansionist dream of Greater Israel. They are, if not a nail in its coffin, a new and serious stumbling block across its path. This murderous opposition to them makes clear past any obfuscation that this segment of the Israeli religious and nationalist right desires nothing but conquest pushed to the uttermost bounds, and differs only in its political circumstances from the likes of Hamas.

No responsible political personality or entity in Israel can, any longer, afford to pay any court to, or make any bargains with, or solicit any support from, these reptiles, however they might attempt to cloak themselves in sacred garb, or claim ownership of the Zionist idea. They must be read out of the congegation, as the Zealots were many centuries ago at the dawn of Rabbinic Judaism.
