Cheap, Hateful Language of some of the Settlers.

I don’t tell Israel what to do, and I will skip the preamble about my empathy for the settlers.

As an American, the only thing I feel I have a right to an opinion about is the language (and violence, which is off the charts — and needs no explanation of condemnation) coming from some of the settlers, verbally comparing Israeli soldiers and Sharon to historic enemies of the Jews.

Shame on you, Dikla Cohen. Or congratulations! You are quoted in the NY Times comparing the disengagement to a “pogrom.”

This is disgusting nonsense, and should not be tolerated.

I am not usually an advocate of mandatory sensitivity training - but for the likes of Ms. Cohen, I would probably agree. She might actually learn something about Jewish history prior to the Six Day War.

Sharon is not the czar, his soldiers are not drunken cossacks, and if this is the angle the settlers want to take, it must be asked if they are the exceptions, or representive of this movement as a whole.
