This information is from the Information Division,
Israel Foreign Ministry - Jerusalem 
In 1968, Rabbi Meir established the Jewish Defense League, the
forerunner of the Kach movement. The declared goal of the movement at
the time was to combat black antisemitism.
In September 1969, Kahane immigrated to Israel. Though he had declared
that once in Israel he would not engage in politics, he spoke out
against the black Jews in Dimona, and later openly advocated the
expulsion of Arabs from Israel. One of his first campaigns against
Arabs was in 1972, when he distributed pamphlets in Hebron calling
upon the mayor to stand trial for his part in the massacre of the Jews
in Hebron in 1929.
The Kach movement first sought election to the Knesset in 1973, but
received only about 13,000 votes, which were not enough to win a seat.
Two years later Kahane returned to his activities in Hebron, this time
calling for the expulsion of the Arabs from the city.
In the 1977 Knesset elections, Kach received less than 4,500 votes. In
1980, Kahane was sentenced to six months in prison for plotting with
others to commit a grave act of provocation on the Temple Mount. In
1981, Kach once again failed to introduce any of its members into the
Knesset.
During the evacuation of the Israeli settlers from Yamit in 1982,
Kahane gained popularity. At the government's request, he helped
convince some extremists in Yamit who had barricaded themselves in the
synagogue and threatened to commit suicide to withdraw their
ultimatum.
When the Kach movement submitted its list for the 1984 Knesset
elections, the Central Elections Committee ruled that it could not
participate in the elections. Kach appealed to the High Court of
Justice, and its appeal was upheld. The court ruled that the existing
electoral law did not allow for the debarring of a party on the
grounds of racism. The Court further suggested that the law be
amended.
The Kach movement thus ran for election in 1984, winning 26,000 votes,
and Kahane became a member of Knesset. He announced that Kach would
not support any government that did not advocate the expulsion of the
Arabs from Israel.
In August 1985, the Knesset passed an amendment to the Basic Law: The
Knesset, in accordance with the High Court's comment in the Kach case.
The amendment added incitemnet to racism as grounds for barring a
party from participating in elections. The law now states as follows:
'A candidates' list shall not participate in elections to the Knesset
if its objects or actions, expressly or by implication, include one of
the following:
1) negation of the existence of the State of Israel as the state of
the Jewish people; 2) negation of the democratic character of the
State; 3) incitement to racism.'
Accordingly, in 1988, prior to the elections to the 12th Knesset, the
Central Elections Committee disqualified the Kach list, basing its
decision on the above amendment. In his appeal to the High Court of
Justice, Kahane claimed that security needs justify severe measures of
discrimination against Arabs. The Court rejected the claim and the
appeal, stating that the aims and actions of Kach are manifestly
racist.
On November 5, 1990, Meir Kahane was murdered in New York by an
Egyptian Islamist. There are two movements which follow in his
footsteps: 'Kahane Lives', led by his son Benjamin Kahane, based in
the settlement Tapuah; and 'Kach' led by Baruch Marzel, based in
Kiryat Arba.
Both movements were disqualified by the Central Elections Committee in
the 1992 elections. Both appealed to the High Court of Justice, which
rejected their appeals, ruling that they are followers of the original
Kach movement.
In November 1992, following the movements' support of the grenade
attack in the butchers' market in the Old City of Jerusalem, Minister
Amnon Rubinstein asked the Attorney-General to initiate a criminal
proceedings against the leaders of the two movements, on the charge of
incitement to terrorism.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both Kach and Kahane Chai organize protests against the Israeli
Government, and harass and threaten Palestinians in Hebron and the
West Bank. Groups affiliated with them have threatened to attack
Arabs, Palestinians, and Israeli Government officials. They also
claimed responsibility for several shooting attacks on West Bank
Palestinians in which four persons were killed and two were wounded in
1993. 
Membership of the two groups overlap. Both groups operate primarily in
Israel and West Bank settlements, particularly Qiryat Arba' in Hebron.
The organizations receive support from sympathizers in the United
States and Europe.

 State; 3) incitement to racism.'
Conosco abbastanza bene il programma di Kahane, e superficialmente 
questi emendamenti alla legge fondamentale.
Il Kach rigetta in modo chiaro ed esplicito la democracità dello stato 
di Israele. Sarebbe stato molto più semplice bandirlo su questo punto, 
secondo me.

Eh ma c'e' uno storico anche di gesti di razzismo che rpescinde ogni
motiviaizone geopolitica..un razzismo evidente  " he spoke out against
the black Jews in Dimona"..ovvero falasha.
Oppure ehm ehm vogliamo parlare di quell'ignominiosa campagna sulla
donazione del sangue in cui si chiedeva di non prendere sangue ai
falasha?
Toni...me sembri avvinto dalla stessa monolitica certezza sul proprio
mondo di appartenenza che altrove genera tastiere nel culo...credimi
non mi fa piacere ...ma Kach è un movimento "anche" razzista...oltre a
quanto da te detto.

lampeggia ICQ.
