Sure, there are whackos on both sides.

Interesting, when Nadine proposed that Israelis don't shoot innocents with machine guns, you didn't disagree with her. I have to dig out the dirty facts for you to concede that there is violence on both sides.

Was he promised glory in death?

Yes.

<<< He was told by his spiritual mentors that if he were killed while serving in Shabak, he would attain martyrdom and his soul would be instantly transported to paradise. His pious father, Dr. Yehezkel Cohen, a well-known religious educator, told the press that this must actually have happened. Dr. Cohen also told the press that his son often had assured him that Shabak activities were perfectly humane and beneficent to the Arabs, and that Jews "who slander Shabak" were traitors.
