I'm more surprised of the inclusion of Hassan Nasrallah as #1. Hezbollah is definitely not extreme. Also lol, a large amount of people on that list have never killed anyone and their main crime is "promoting anti-semitism" or "being a huge critic of Israel". Of course, this site is ran by an ex-Bush bureaucrat, his ex-boss has probably killed more people than anyone on there combined.

I've got some better proposals for them. How about Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu who oversees the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and endorsed a rabbi who said it should be legal to kill goyim? Or Little Ben Shapiro and his news articles advocating for bulldozing Palestinian homes.

Hezbollah are some of the biggest terrorists on earth. You're obviously biased.

Hezbollah are defending their land from foreign aggressors and have massive popular support, they're far from terrorists. US and Israel funded and trained groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda are terrorist groups, along with the US and Israeli militaries of course.

They terrorize Jews and Israelis because oh, you know, Jews and Israelis have this tendency to invade their FUCKING COUNTRY and bomb it to smithereens whenever they feel like it.

Hezbollah doesn't terrorize me and no member of Hezbollah ever called me a Goy or influenced my country to fight its regional enemies.

I think groups such as Counter Extremism to a certain extent manufacture their 'extremists' — they rely on public (and private) funding so the more conspiracies they can claim to uncover the better their fundraising will be.

The trouble is that the information they supply flows through into Wikipedia, is picked up by the credulous media, and is endlessly re-quoted and eventually becomes 'the narrative.'

The government then uses the information they have sponsored to enact policy. It becomes a hall of mirrors.
