Calling them *extremists* is precisely apt. I don't see all Jews or

Yeah, but "extremist" is so vague. Aren't the Amish "extremists"?
Chareidim? Buddhist monks? It doesn't imply anything about their motives,
actions, etc., just that they're "extreme" whatever that means.

An extremist is someone prepared to take or advocate extreme actions
towards their ends. Bhuddist monks in favour of suicide bombings would
be extremists.
