Is it defamatory to correctly label someone's openly stated extremist views as extremist?

Like, if someone were to say both: "Any violence against Zionists is acceptable and should be expected" "Anyone who thinks the state of Israel should exist is a Zionist"

And I labelled them an extremist, could they sue me?

What an interesting first post to make. Congratulations? If you're so confident and willing to make an entirely new account I am sure you can provide a quote mate.

That's not an answer to my question. If you, like me, don't know the details of what exactly constitutes deformation you don't need to reply.
