The other day, Israeli police forces raided the homes
of several people suspected of being dissidents
belonging to the Kach/Kahane movement.
The article in Arutz7 is interesting reading, both
in terms of what it tells us about the current Israeli
regime and its links to European and American
anti-jewish elements within the respective political
establishments.
The Israeli regime is referring to the Kahane
movement as "terrorist". However, finding terrorist
activity on part of this group seems extremely
difficult. A quick scan through the information
available froom the Israeli Foreign Ministry reveals
some rather startling facts:
Both Kach and and its offshoot Kahane Chai
was declared terrorist organizations after verbal
statements. So much for free speech in Israel.
But the movement seems to have been relentlessly
persecuted by the government long before that. In
1980, the founder, Rabbi Meir Kahane, was sentenced
to six months in prison for "plotting a grave act of
provocation". On the Temple Mount, no less.
Perhaps he wanted to pray there, an activity it seems
that the Israeli regime has expressly forbidden Jews to
indulge in.
So what is it that qualifies the Kach movement for the vaunted "terrorist" label, in stiff competition with
Hamas, Hizbollah, Al Aqsa Brigades, et al?
The Israeli Foreign Ministry, deadpan, lists four "attacks",
to wit:
Date:
Dec 2, 1998 Organization: Kach and Kahane Chai Attack Type: Knife Attack
Target Type: Civilian Location: Jerusalem, Israel Casualties: Killed: 1
Injured: 0 Number of Terrorists Involved: 1
Basic Info: An Arab man was stabbed to death
not far from his home in Jerusalem. Jerusalem
police commander Yair Yitzhaki said that the
circumstances suggest that the murderer was a
Jewish extremist. The victim, Osama Musa Natche,
41, a Jerusalem municipality worker and a father
of six children was attacked only a few steps from
his home in Abu Tor, a mixed Arab-Jewish
neighborhood.
More... (you have to bring up this information
separately on the ministry's site)
Further Information on this Attack
It was hoped at first that neighborhood police
cameras had filmed the attack, but the cameras
were not transmitting at the time. Police speculated
that the killing was related to a previous series of
knife attacks on Arabs in Jerusalem. Six Arab
residents of Jerusalem have been stabbed, one fatally,
in the past year in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish
neighborhood of Mea Shearim. Most of the attacks
occurred at about the same hour of the morning as
today's attack. In October police detained an Israeli
man with links to ultra-nationalist Jewish groups but
failed to find evidence that he was involved in the attacks.
Comment: We're left with some halfwitted speculation
by a police commander. This is "police work" and proper
grounds for a "terrorist" designation? Don't jail this critter,
just send him home and jail whoever hired him.
Date:
May 3, 1998 Organization: Kach and Kahane Chai Attack Type: Bombing
Target Type: Student Location: Jerusalem, Israel Casualties: Killed: 0 Injured: 0
Basic Info: A pipe bomb exploded in front of the
apartment of three Arab students in the Mussrara
neighborhood of Jerusalem. A fire in the stairwell
was the only damage caused. Israeli police
suspect right-wing extremists.

This was the second attack on the students.
The first attack occurred several months before
when an explosive charge was set in front of the
apartment door.
Comment: More "police suspects....".
Evidence and/or proof (even probable cause)
seems to be conspiciously absent. Hint for the
good "officers of the leuw" in Israel: if something
explodes in the vicinity of Arabs in Israel, it's not
an immediate given that it's got something to do
with Jews. But you knew that, didn't you?
Date:
Oct 24, 1993 Organization: Kach and Kahane Chai Attack Type: Bombing
Target Type: Embassy Location: Tel Aviv, Israel Casualties: Killed: 0 Injured: 0
Basic Info: Two small explosive charges were
detonated near the French embassy in Tel Aviv.
There was no damage or casualties.
A member of the Jewish extremist Kahana Hay
movement claimed responsibility for the explosions,
saying the attack was carried out to protest
PLO leader Yasser Arafat's visit to France and
agreements he signed there.

Wow. How small? Something in the nature
of cherry bombs? At least a member of
Kahane Chai claimed responsibility for this one,
or the Ministry might have real grounds for
embarassment . I mean, no one killed or hurt or
anything. Come to think of it, that seems to be
the case with the other bombing attributed to
"right-wingers" too. As it is, the Ministry seems
so taken with this gem of information that they
have posted it twice, so the count of "attacks"
should really be three. Oh well.
So the Kach/Kahane movement is a
terrorist organization. Having established that,
the Israeli government have proceeded to enlist
the international community in fighting this menace.
The US State Department has followed suit by
placing the oragnization(s) on its list of
"international terrorists". Trying to find terrorist
actions attributed to Kach/Kahane from US
sources you'll come up with "verbal terrorism".
Of course, the grounds listed by the Israeli
government don't seem to hold water, but
never mind that. The US State Department
seems to be crawling with antisemites on a
default basis, only to be outdone by the French,
the Germans and certain other European
microstates best known for their national
sport of Paedophilia. Last I looked, the US
State Department was actively promoting islam
on its taxpayer-funded website, something that
seems to fly in the face of the official line of
separation between church/religion and state.
The second international body seemingly
involved in fighting the "Jewish Terror" is
Interpol, according to Arutz7. When someone
mentions Interpol, it often (but not always) means
some European police force. It might be anyone,
but my suspicions lean towards the good old
Germans. And my suspicions towards the
Germans when it comes to any and all relations
with Israel are generally deep, black and not easily
dispelled.
I'll not tell you what to think, but it seems to
me that the whole "Kach=terror" thing is a red
herring. On the other hand, there is no shortage
of real terror in Israel. Terrorists that blow up
buses and restaurants, and use language like
"Jews are monkeys and pigs" and all the other
antisemitic claptrap. Terrorists like Arafat, and
Arafat's friends. And fellow travellers who
embraces Arafat and uses his language.
One of these fellow travellers is the Greek
Ortodox Church leader Irineos. From a 2002
letter by Irineos to Arafat: "You are finally
aware of the disgust and disrespect that all the
Holy Sepulchre fathers are feeling for the descendants
of the crucifiers of our Lord Jesus Christ,
actual crucifiers of your people, Sionists Jewish
conquerors of the Holy Land of Palestine".
Now, there's a mothful straight out of a PA school
book for you. The "Church" is showing off its full
glory, as rabid and antisemitic as any Dachau commander.
And this person has his friends in the Israeli
government. From another recent Arutz7 article:
"In an exclusive report, Arutz-7 correspondent
Shimon Cohen revealed that Greek Orthodox
church leader Irineos - a known anti-Semite with
strong ties to Yasser Arafat - was invited to the
offices of Interior Minister Poraz tonight
(Wednesday) to receive his official letter
of appointment from the Israeli government."
Sneaking, under cover of night as it seems,
into the offices of the most antisemitic/antireligious
party (Shinui) in Israel ,to be salved as the leader or
the most antisemitic religious body after the
Church of the Creator.
What's next from the Holy Land? Civil war?
PM Sharon's greek connections finally coming home
to roost? The IDF calling in the PLO to help kill
off those pesky "settlers"? Stay tuned and
prepare to be disgusted beyond human limits.
