Those Israelis claiming Israel should stretch from the River Prath to the the River of Egypt are very few indeed, not even a blip in the political radar.
So killing Rabin was just a blip on the political radar?
The problem is not really these guys, but the silent (and not so silent) consent from the rest of the isreali right.

The killer of Rabin was that unrepresentative.

If you mean that the rest of the Israeli right consented with the assassination or with views expounded by the murderer, I suggest you get some reliable info on the subject, because you couldn't be more mistaken.
Currently, the middle of the road of the Israeli right is won to the two-states solution which had opponents to it within Labour some ten years ago.

That is not what I'm saying. But there is no question that the right wing extremist in Isreal have been able to get away with stuff unthinkable elsewhere. Just look at the grave of Baruch Goldstein.

The monument built over the grave by the murderer's fan-club was dismantled by the authorities, and some of his admirers often get arrested and detained without warrant (administrative detention) under the old British anti-terror decree, and handled rather roughly by the security forces (as I tell my settler friends ?did you think they'd only do it to Palestinians??).
Objectively speaking, it's safer and easier to be a neo-Nazi militant in the West than to be a mildly Fascist shopkeeper in Israel.

depends on your definition of facist, doesn't it?
Actually I think we are as close as we can to an agreement here. Our political opinions are a bit different. Lets leave it at that.
