How is this extreme? The guy wants the Middle East to be redrawn, not by force or war, so it would be more peaceful. Hell, I figured you would be on the side of Israel pulling back to pre67. Oh and historically ethnic cleansing has been an effective to tool to keep power in a country. That is pretty much a proven fact. Nowhere does he advocate it...
edit...
I find myself often on the right side of this debate not because I agree with them. But as a historian I disagree with the manipulation of facts and attacks that often are the trademark of the left side. I am as far left as they come, but I find a lack of open-mindedness as one of my biggest pet peeves and I find that trait generally in the extreme right and extreme left. The people in between are generally more open to intelligent discussion and not just bashing the other side over the head with the same arguments over and over again.
