Deeply felt, convincing, extremist? Where there any credible voices in the anti-disengagement leadership that preached violence? In fact there were none: a small fringe promoted "passive civil disobedience", there was no support for violent opposition to Israel's army or police force - in fact, everyone from politicians to rabbis to pop musicians were recruited to get out the message of non-violent protest. It would be more accurate to write: "The pro-disengagement, left-dominated media fanned false fears of violence, painting their opponents as extremists." You write:

I'm so glad you'll be doing this for GV. I especially like your point that English-language Israeli bloggers run the gamut both religiously and politically -- it's easy to forget that.
