Israeli National Security Minister.
To understand this jolly warrior of the Israeli far right you need to go back to his mentor and hero – the ultranationalist Rabbi who pushed for the expulsion of all Palestinians from their homeland and founded US-based terror group the Jewish Defense League.
A hero of the settler movement, New York-born Kahane went on to found the extremist Kach party in Israel. He served one term in the Knesset in the 1980s before the party was eventually barred for inciting racial hatred.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
