This article (http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1074640510829&call_pageid=970599109774&col=Columnist969907621263) presents a fascinating case study of one man's journey from trying to kill Jews to giving pro-Israel talks.
I know the secret clique has decreed no more Israel/Palestine threads, but really, my interest here is in the psychological structure that can tolerate conversion from one extreme to another. My sense is that it would be more difficult for this man to embrace a moderate or neutral position on just about anything than it is for him to embrace extremism. He defaults to extreme.
Very interesting. Any reaction?
