I think we're between a rock and a hard place, here.

Yeah, they want to end sanctions against Iraq. Yeah,
they want to destroy the Zionist state. But why?
Because they want to create a world full of
Afghanistans - which, as you pointed out, is far from
laudable.

So in this case we're dealing with progressive causes
to a reactionary end. It's certainly not unheard of;
Aryan Nations (or whatever they're calling themselves
since the Dees suit) is certainly opposed to Zionism.
