Re: The Most Hated Family In America: Phelps

Theroux stated
that the Phelpses are the most extreme people he has ever met.
----
a hardcore religious nationalist fringe of Jewish Israelis who have
chosen to make their home up and down the West Bank and in East
Jerusalem. They say that those areas belong by right to the Jewish
people - a title claim based mainly on the bible.

what makes the extreme settlers more troubling is that they also enjoy
a degree of support from the Israeli state. Surprising as it may seem,
many illegal outposts like Yair's are protected by the Israeli army
