Who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin? I'm aware that often even the hint of criticizing any aspect of Israeli policy is deemed to be anti-semitic by some. And I'm aware that the history of Jewish persecution is used by some as justification for any Israeli action no matter how egregious or tyrannical it would be deemed if done by another state.

Nonetheless, there is a significant ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Israel that can only be fairly described as extremist. Not only is not an LOL matter, but also it concerns deeply the Israeli left. Might I suggest Religious Fundamentalism and Holy War: Judaism Is Not Immune.
I never stated that it wasn't present, but you make it appear that its over-welming and more than its neighbors. Jewish terrorist are prosecuted and the Israel government does everything it can to stop it. The Israeli government sure as he11 doesn't support it. Any religious extremist movement in Israel is dwarfed by its neighbors. Any denying that is a form of anti-semitism. Religious extremist in Israel is no worst than its in America!
