Both the Kach Party and Gush Emunim were founded as legitimate political organisations. The Kach Party was established to campaign for the restoration of biblical Israel. While Gush Emunim has a similar ideological background, it was established to specifically to campaign against concessions to Arab states in the wake of the 1973 war. Kach Party founder Rabbi Meir Kahane served as a member of the Israeli parliament (Knesset) from 1984 to 1988. This political success prompted a change in Israel's electoral law banning racist parties from contesting elections.
Rabbi Khahane also founded the Jewish Defense League (JDL) in the US in 1968 (just before he emigrated to Israel) and did not resign the leadership until 1985. The JDL continues to campaign against anti-Semitism, but its membership is believed to be small and more mainstream Jewish groups maintain their distance.
Other Jewish institutions have been implicated in financing and supporting radical organisations. In January 2001 the FBI confiscated documents and other items from the Hatikvah Jewish Identity Centre in Brooklyn, New York as part of an investigation into the financing of extremist groups. The Hatikvah Centre's director, Michael Guzofsky was a leader of Kahane Chai in the US before it was declared a terrorist organisation. He subsequently stated that he headed a totally unrelated, legal organisation using a similar name. No immediate charges were filed and the Centre denied any links with Kahane Chai.
Rabbi Kahane also founded a seminary in Jerusalem, Yeshiva of the Jewish Ideal, which has been accused of teaching a combination of extremist Zionist philosophy with Jewish religious instruction.

Radical Judaism/Zionism
Background TOP
The central figure in the radical Jewish movement is Rabbi Meir David Kahane. Kahane was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1932. He was attracted to the Zionist movement as a young man, joining the youth organisation Betar. He went on to study international law at New York University and Judaism at the Mir Yeshiva Talmudic school from which he ordinated as a rabbi.
Kahane's notoriety began in 1968 when he founded the militant Jewish Defense League (JDL) group, which he headed until 1985. The JDL initially operated as a vigilante group to protect New York's orthodox Jewish community, inflaming racial tensions between the city's black and Jewish communities in the process. The JDL subsequently expanded its activities to tackle anti-Semitism more generally, championing the plight of Soviet Jewry in particular. After an attack on the Soviet cultural mission in Washington, Kahane was arrested along with other members of the JDL in May 1971 on charges of manufacturing explosives. He was convicted and briefly imprisoned.
After his release, Kahane and his family emigrated to Israel in 1971. He established the Kach (Only Thus) Party to campaign for expulsion of the Arab population from Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories and the restoration of biblical Israel. He adopted the idea that 'miracles don't just happen, they are made' and believed that he could hasten Arab expulsion by inciting Palestinian hatred. In 1981 he was convicted of plotting to perpetrate a provocative act in the Haram al-Sharif (Noble Sanctuary - the Islamic holy site on Temple Mount that includes the Al-Aqsa and Dome of the Rock mosques) and imprisoned for six months.
Kahane repeatedly ran for parliament (Knesset), but did not win a seat until the 1984 general election after his mediating role in the Yamit settlement standoff boosted his popularity. The Yamit settlement was established in the Sinai Peninsula after its occupation by Israel in 1967. Militant Jews locked themselves into a Yamit synagogue and threatened to commit suicide when the peace treaty with Egypt required the settlement to be evacuated in 1982, but Kahane persuaded them to leave peacefully. Kahane's election prompted a change in the electoral law to prevent racist parties contesting elections. Kahane's Knesset career consequently came to an end with the 1988 election.
Another radical political activist group, Gush Emunim (The Block of the Faithful) was formally established in 1974 as an offshoot of the National Religious Party (NRP) in order to campaign against any concessions to Arab states in the wake of the October 1973 war. The group had existed on an informal basis for some time, however, and is held responsible for establishing the Qiryat Arba settlement on the outskirts of Hebron/Al-Khalil in 1968. Heavily influenced by the teachings of Rabbi Abraham Kook (who died in 1935) and his son Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook, the group believes that the coming of the messiah can be hastened by Jewish colonisation of the West Bank. It became the driving force behind the settlement movement, establishing new settlements even when not sanctioned by the authorities. Gush Emunim (as well as Kach) activists were among the radicals that Kahane persuaded to leave the Yamit settlement.
The link between the NRP and Gush Emunim was officially severed when the former joined the governing coalition later in 1974 and has emphasised its independence ever since. Recognised as a legitimate settler movement in 1977, it is not considered to be a terrorist organisation and its agenda, although radical, enjoys significant support in the Israeli mainstream. General Ariel Sharon, the hero of the 1973 war and future prime minister, became the group's most famous supporter. Support for Gush Emunim's policy of establishing Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories had resulted in over 200,000 Jews settling in occupied territory (including areas annexed to Jerusalem municipality) by 2000. The end of the Labour party's political dominance in the wake of the 1973 war and the rise of the Likud party was instrumental in this policy change.
A more radical offshoot of Gush Emunim known as Gush Emunim Underground is believed to have been formed in 1979. The Underground group has been accused of a series of car bombings against Palestinian mayors in 1980 and a shooting and grenade attack against an Islamic college in Hebron that killed a number of students and wounded many more. In 1984 the Israeli security forces foiled another bomb plot and 18 members of the Underground were subsequently arrested and convicted. A plan to attack the Haram al-Sharif was also discovered.
On 5 November 1990, Meir Kahane was assassinated as he delivered a speech to a small group of supporters at the Marriott Hotel, New York. His assassin, El-Sayyid Nosair, an Egyptian Islamist who followed the teachings of the 'blind cleric' Omar Ahmed Abd al-Rahman, was wounded and captured by the police as he tried to escape. In a controversial ruling, he was acquitted on the charge of murder but convicted on lesser charges and sent to prison. He was subsequently given a life sentence for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
The Kach Party continued its activities under its new leader Baruch Marzel. Kahane's son Binjamin also established a splinter group called Kahane Chai (Kahane Lives) after losing the succession struggle to Marzel.
The apparent progress towards a final settlement between the Israelis and the Palestinians in the 1990s increased the risks of Jewish extremists perpetrating violent acts. The historic handshake between Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat in September 1993 and the subsequent establishment of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the withdrawal of the Israeli military from Palestinian population centres led many Jewish settlers to believe that their efforts to colonise the West Bank would be reversed by the government.
Israel designated both Kach and Kahane Chai as terrorist groups in 1994 after they released statements supporting the actions of Dr Baruch Goldstein. On 25 February 1994, Goldstein, a Kach supporter from Hebron's Qiryat Arba settlement, killed 29 worshippers and wounded many more in Hebron's Al-Ibrahimi Mosque (the burial site of Ibrahim/Abrahim known to Jews as the Tomb of the Patriarchs) before being bludgeoned to death by enraged survivors. The US followed Israel's lead and also designated them terrorist groups. Goldstein's grave subsequently become something of a shrine for Jewish radicals.
By this time Hebron, home to approximately 450 radical settlers (protected by a far larger number of Israeli soldiers) and 140,000 Palestinians, had become a major flash point. The Hebron settlers have gained a reputation as the most aggressive and ideological Jewish community in the West Bank. Palestinians and non-governmental organisations have repeatedly accused the settlers of acts of aggression and incitement against the local Arab community.
The Al-Ibrahimi Mosque massacre led to the deployment of an unarmed United Nations observer mission (called the Temporary International Presence in Hebron - TIPH) to be deployed to the city. The UN team reports illegal acts inflicted by settlers against Palestinians to the Israeli and Palestinian authorities. Retiring chief observer Jan Kristenson told the Israeli press in 2004 that "in a sense, cleansing is being carried out" in the area of Hebron under Israeli military control. The settlers have repeatedly complained that the UN observers exaggerate reports of Jewish violence and under report similar acts committed by Palestinians. Israeli military officers have even asserted that the observers are biased because they are intimidated by Palestinian militants. Under the UN charter, occupied people have the right to violently resist their occupiers.

The most significant instance of Jewish extremism occurred on 4 November 1995 when Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin was assassinated during a political rally in Jerusalem by a radical settler determined to derail the peace process. Binjamin Kahane condoned the murder and radical rabbis claimed it was permissible under halakha (Jewish law) because the peace agreement with the Palestinians exposed Jews and the state of Israel to extreme dangers.
The assassin, Yigal Amir, was a member of a group known as EYAL (the Hebrew acronym for Jewish Fighting Movement). It subsequently emerged that EYAL was established by former Kach activist Avishai Raviv with the support of Israel's General Security Service (GSS - also known as Shabak or Shin Bet), apparently as a way of monitoring the activities of Jewish extremists. The intelligence effort failed spectacularly and the relationship between the GSS and EYAL has encouraged a number of conspiracy theories. Raviv was indicted in 1999 for failing to warn his GSS handlers of Amir's intentions, but his trial has been repeatedly delayed.
The collapse of the peace process and the outbreak of widespread violence in September 2000 reduced the possibility of further attacks by Jewish extremists against the Israeli establishment. However, hardline settlers have been regularly accused of inflaming the violence.
Binjamin Kahane was killed along with his wife in December 2000 when Palestinian militants ambushed their vehicle in the West Bank. Their five daughters were also injured in the attack. The militants later claimed that the Kahanes' vehicle had been randomly targeted. The attack happened on one of the roads that Israel has constructed throughout the West Bank to link settlements and military installations. Palestinians are prohibited from using these roads.
A radical Jewish group calling itself the Committee for Road Safety subsequently emerged. The group has been accused of carrying out a series of shooting attacks against Palestinian motorists in the West Bank.
Meanwhile, back in the US, JDL Chairman Irving David Rubin and fellow member Earl Leslie Krugel were arrested in Los Angeles in December 2001 and charged with plotting a terrorist attack against the LA office of the Muslim Public Affairs Council. Rubin died in prisoner in November 2002, apparently from injuries sustained during a suicide attempt.
While the return to widespread violence served the radical Jewish agenda, extremist elements still sought to escalate the conflict even further. In April 2002, the Israeli authorities foiled a bomb attack against a Palestinian girls' school in East Jerusalem. Three settlers from Bat Ayin were convicted in connection to the plot in September 2003. They parked a trailer containing explosives and gas canisters in front of the school and set the timer to coincide with the arrival of the students. Former Kach spokesman Noam Federman was also arrested in connection to the plot. An Israeli court ordered that he be detained for six months on the basis that he was considered a dangerous individual.

Pt : Roi de muste, capra mindra si riioasa si Carol: intrebare retorica:

Toti bateti cimpii despre hamas si ziarist. dar subiectul articolului este despre fundamentalismul evreiesc.

Incercati sa va focalizati pe issue, nu pe mesageri.

Fiecare neam isi are uscaturile lui.
Dai prea multa atentie unei "minoritati".

Pentru unii e greu de accepta ca uscaturile lor sint la fel de rele ca uscaturile vecinului .....
