After that, several different witnesses independently said they heard Reese say, "he would kick her fg a, slit her godn throat and drag her a** outside and cut her head off."

The same witness says Reese was later seen returning to his classroom, cursing extremely loudly. The witness says he was yelling that he "should not be spoken to like that because he is a Jew."

He went on saying, "I will drag her a** into the parking lot, slit her f*****g throat and kill her."

Wow, not sure to call him ultra-nationalist or religious-extremist.

There's a word for those two things; Zionist.

Not all zionists are religious, like at all.

Violent bigots come in ever flavor. At a certain point, it's not worth the effort to suss out the source of their prejudices. It's an unanswerable question that leads to the same dissapointment in simple minded zealotry no matter their specific path.

I'd rather spend time trying to understand the ones I respect instead of getting lost in the maze of a random scum.

Fascist. That's the word you're looking for.

Religious nationalist is not a synonym for fascist. We need to stop diluting the meaning of the word fascist.

Religious nationalist

"Religious nationalist" is an oxymoron - especially when it comes to Abrahamic religions. Saluting a piece of colored fabric and treating it with any kind of reverential significance literally breaks the very first commandment.

They are neither religious - they literally act in direct contravention of the teachings they (supposedly) "follow" - nor nationalist - they literally (and overtly) place the interests of a small wealthy elite above the interests of the people in the nation.

No, Clyde - they are fascists.

Totally reasonable reaction to have...
