A thousand celebrate legacy of Kahane in Jerusalem

RAMALLAH, 26 Oct (JMCC) - A thousand supporters gathered at the Ramada Renaissance Hotel in Jerusalem tonight to celebrate the legacy of Rabbi Meir Kahane, an ultra-nationalist assassinated 20 years ago. The American-born Kahane advocated the violent annexation of the West Bank and Gaza, founded the racist and banned Kach party, and called for Israel to adopt Jewish over democratic law.

Yesterday, many buildings in Yaffa and Nazareth Illit was vandalized with the slogan, Kahane was right.

“You can see a true awakening to Rav Kahane, because every year it’s growing, every year more and more people are joining us,” right-wing activist Baruch Marzel told The Jerusalem Post as he hurriedly tried to organize more chairs for hundreds of people standing outside. “There are those who thought that with each passing year it would be weaker, but that’s a lie.”

“We’ve gone mainstream,” event organizer and prominent right-wing activist Itamar Ben-Gvir told the Post. “You can even see this in the Knesset, Kadima and even the Labor party are adopting the beliefs of Kahane. People used to be against Rav Kahane in the Knesset, treating him the same way they’re treating Hanin Zoabi, saying he was disgusting, he’s dangerous. And today they understand that all those things he said, he was right.”
