Extreme right-wing violence in the Netherlands soared by 75 percent last year, according the annual Anne Frank Foundation report on extremism, which was released yesterday…The report's co-author told Haaretz that anti-Semitic hate crimes -- which constituted 13 percent of all cases -- are often falsely represented as anti-Zionist. According to Willem Wagenaar, 2006 saw 35 anti-Semitic instances out of a total of 265 hate crimes. The overall number of racial offenses dropped by 10 percent from the previous year, which saw 41 anti-Semitic attacks… For example, one group of extreme-right youths, who were found guilty of torching both a synagogue and an Muslim school, claimed they had set the synagogue on fire to protest Israel's policy."… About a quarter (23 percent) of all hate crimes in 2006 were directed at Muslim immigrants.It seems that extremely right wing people in all nations will target ethnic minorities, as well as religious minorities. From either blowing up an abortion clinic, to torching a synagogue the adherents of radicalized right-wing politics seem to constantly turn to violent behavior.

I would like to ask people in the comment section to tell me what they believe a major difference between the radicalized left wing and the radicalized right wing is. I’m curious to read the opinions of others, on the major underlying differences between these two forms of political extremism.
