Meir Kahane: Who Was He Really?

Although I do not support everything Meir Kahane has ever said or done, I believe in free speech, fighting Terrorism, and the truth.

It is my personal belief that he was exceptionally misunderstood by naive, small-minded, and politically motivated hucksters, who slandered him with disgusting epithets in order to serve their own power.   The most commonly held negative opinion of Meir Kahane is one based on misrepresentations of his message, misquotations and ignorance.

But the aforementioned is solely my opinion, and I do not want you to simply take my word for it.  Thus, I greatly encourage you to read his books, and speeches then make up your own mind.

( If you are looking for a book to start with, I recommend: They Must Go!)

Now, without further ado, I present to you Meir Kahane.

Mier Kahane


“If we ever hope to rid the world of the political AIDS of our time, terrorism, the rule must be clear: One does not deal with terrorists; one does not bargain with terrorists; one kills terrorists.

“Never, ever deal with terrorists. Hunt them down and, more important, mercilessly punish those states and groups that fund, arm, support, or simply allow their territories to be used by the terrorists with impunity.

“One of the great problems with Americans is that – being a decent people – they assume that everyone else is equally decent.
