Orthodox Rabbi Says He Can Live Under Palestinian Rule

Menachem Fruman, a Jewish Orthodox Rabbi in the West Bank settlement of Tekoa, and head of a religious seminary there, has stated that he would not mind living under Palestinian rule.

He also says that had talks with Yasser Arafat and Ahmed Yassin where the latter said that "you and me can make peace in five minutes".

In the  same article though, an immigrant from the form Soviet Union stated that he would not accept living under Palestinian rule.

The pragmatism of the Rabbi is to be commended, and shows that not all religious people are extremist. It shows that extremism and absolutism is a mindset of its own. 

Here are some pictures from the Tekoa settlement
