RE: "You are basically accepting here that Jewish extremist groups exist, but saying they are less extremist than neo-Nazis."

Not quite. Mormon "extremist" groups support and practice polygamy. Anti-abortion "extremist" groups blow up clinics and murder doctors. Do you see a difference in what "extremist" might mean.

It is not that they are "less" extremist, but "extremist" has an entirely different meaning. There are "extreme" ideas, those that are a number of "standard deviations" from a group's norm, and there is "extreme" behavior, murder and the celebration of murderers in the case of neo-Nazis.
