Posted here here purely as red meat. Self-loathing Oepidal weirdo Avraham Burg on Hebron rabbis and aggressively delusional Amira Hass on l'affaire Weiss. Now, we're not fans of Hillel Weiss and our antipathy towards Hebron settlers sometimes borders on outright loathing. And yet, those people aren't terrorists. Simple test: has Hillel Weiss gone out with a suicide belt to become a glorious child-killing martyr? If not, then he's not a terrorist. It might seem a little muddy, but it's actually a relatively clear bright line - you're not a terrorist if you don't, you know, try to kill civilians and stuff.

But lest we allow you to leave with a self-satisfied "well, what do you expect from the Israeli left" - we're pretty sure that "fight the terrorist Hebron rabbis" is at least as well represented in Israeli public discourse as "arrest the Oslo murderers". And neither is particularly persuasive.
