In Memory of Rabbi Kahane: The Legacy of Kach

18 Marcheshvan 5785 

34th Yahrtzeit of Rabbi Meir David HaKohen Kahane, ztz"l, Hy"d,
Murdered, Assassinated for Telling the Truth

Background

Kach (Hebrew: כך, lit. 'Thus') was a radical Orthodox Jewish, religious Zionist political party in Israel, existing from 1971 to 1994.  Founded by Rabbi Meir Kahane in 1971 based on his Jewish-Orthodox-nationalist ideology* (subsequently dubbed Kahanism), the party won a single seat in the Knesset in the 1984 elections, after several electoral failures.  However, it was barred from participating in the next elections in 1988 under the revised Knesset Elections Law banning parties that incited racism.

[*Which just so happens is simply Torah.]

Israel Democracy Institute

Founded in 1971 Kach ("This is the Way") was an extreme right-wing anti-Arab party with outright racist characteristics.*  The party was founded in the early 1970s by Rabbi Meir Kahane and the Jewish Defense League, an organization that he had established in the United States a number of years earlier.  Kach's platform called for legislation to transfer the Arab population from Israel before it became a majority and put an end to the Jewish state.  The party also championed the imposition of Israeli sovereignty over all parts of the Land of Israel west of the River Jordan (including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip), a transition to a state governed by Jewish law, and a radical change in the educational system that would emphasize Torah study and religious revivalism.**

[*By whose definition?  Not the Torah's.  **The bias is evident here.  What could be a more "radical" education program for a "Jewish" State than Torah and teshuvah?]

Israel Bans Kahane Party From Election

Oct. 6, 1988

The Central Election Commission today* banned Rabbi Meir Kahane's party from parliamentary elections next month on the grounds that it is racist and undemocratic.

[*Less than one month before the election!]

The commission ruling, on a vote of 28 to 5, was made under a law written three years ago specifically to disqualify Rabbi Kahane's Kach party from elections. Rabbi Kahane, an American emigre, advocates forcible* expulsion of all 2.2 million Arabs from Israel and its occupied territories.

[Rabbi Kahane always said he would first offer financial incentives and a request for the Arabs to leave.  Expulsion would only be a final alternative.  But it suits the bias and the defamation campaign to leave these details out.]

Rabbi Kahane said he would appeal the ban to the Supreme Court.  If the court upholds the commission's ban, the disqualification would be a major boon to the right-wing Likud party of Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and could perhaps give the party the edge it needs to form a coalition to control Israel's government for the next four years.

[Netanyahu became the leader of the Likud only five years later.]

...the 10-month-old Palestinian uprising has driven thousands of right-wing voters* farther right, and surveys now show that Kach would get at least 3 seats in the next Parliament.

[All these voters' democratic rights were disenfranchised by the decision to ban Kach.  Some unbiased sources at the time estimated even higher numbers - 10 to 14?]

Mr. Smith said of Likud last week that ''without Kahane, they won't be able to get a majority'' unless present trends change.

...The Election Commission banned Kach from running in the last election, too.  But the Supreme Court overturned that ban, saying there was no law to support it.  So the present Parliament approved the law banning parties that are ''racist' or ''undemocratic,'' specifically so the commission would have a legal foundation for banning Kach this time.

THIS IS HOW RABBI KAHANE PROVED TO KLAL YISRAEL THAT MASHIACH CANNOT GET ELECTED IN THE FAKE-DEMOCRATIC "JEWISH" STATE.  

MASHIACH WILL ARISE WHEN THE STATE FALLS.  

The Quasi-Jewish State, attached to Edom, has been performing the role of Mashiach ben Yosef as regards the ingathering of the exiles and fighting the wars of God, providing the physical infrastructure in which the Kingdom of Israel has been developing. 

In my opinion, the linkage of "Make America Great Again" and "Make Israel Great Again" is a clear sign of the attachment spoken of by the Maharal (see link above) and will guarantee that as America goes, so goes Israel - that is, the State as it is today, which has become a mortal threat to the Jewish future.  

INEVITABLY AMERICA AND ISRAEL (THE TWINS) WILL FALL TOGETHER.

It's possible that this inevitable "fall" will be the event which is described in Zechariah 12:10-14 which causes mourning throughout the Land.  

...they shall look to Me because of those who have been thrust through.

All of the sacrifice of the soldiers and the victims of terror and the physical destruction across the land will all be seen as having been for naught as the State appears to stagger and fall in battle.

...and they shall mourn over it.

National mourning over a nationwide loss is described.  When they launched their war against the Torah, the ruling regime lost all rights of leadership; however, they will never willingly abdicate.  HKB"H will wrest it from them and give it to Mashiach.

Imagine.  Had Rabbi Kahane succeeded and been able to employ his "transition" plan, there never would have been an Oslo, or a Second Intifada, or 30 years of terror in the streets, or an expulsion from Gush Katif, or rockets on Israel, or an October 7, 2023.  There would be no hostages underground in Gaza today!!!!  No soldiers' funerals!!!!!!!   

ALL OF THESE ATROCITIES

ARE THE LEGACY OF LIKUD!

THE ONLY SOLUTION NOW

 IS REGIME CHANGE!!

Rabbi Meir Kahane speaks after being

disqualified for the 1988 Knesset elections

PS: To anyone who wants to say Otzma Yehudit's inclusion in the current coalition is a sign things have improved since then, I insist it's really much worse off as a result. I'm still waiting for someone to answer a question I posed on this blog before. How is it that Baruch Marzel, Dr. Michael Ben Ari and Ben Tzion Gopshtein can be disqualified from the party by the Court, but it is allowed to run with Itamar Ben Gvir at the head?  (See more here.)
