Read properly, please! Where exactly do I "pair #Zionist with right wing"?! I hate it when people reply to something without having read it properly.
I am still a #Zionist. Read! I was #Kahanist. And #Kahanism is surely #farright! Just like the people I mentioned. -
Meet the anti-Zionist "Hilltop Youth"... wait what?!?
Former Hilltop Youth Dov Moral on Shin Bet's structural problem, with a fascinating comparison between Hilltop Youth and Kahanist's raison d'être...
[2025] Israel's secret police, Shin Bet, operates anti-democratically, systematically violating human rights-of Palestinians and Israelis alike
Moral was Hilltop Youth. Unlike Kahanists like Ben Gvir who are Zionist wanting to transform the state from within, Hilltop Youth are anti-Zionist, seeing the state itself as obstacle: blocking them from "dealing with" Palestinians, building the Temple, establishing halakhic rule. Their strategy: force every tension between "Jewish" and "democratic" to explode.
Moral participated in "price tag" attacks. Celebrated the Duma murders. Shin Bet interrogated him, which involved sleep deprivation, psychological manipulation, coercion.
Then heartbreak sent him into depression. Time abroad shifted his perspective. Now he's a human rights law intern handling administrative detention cases, married to a Haaretz editor, father of two.So when right-wing outrage erupted over Shin Bet's so-called "Jewish Division" (the unit monitoring far-right Jewish extremists) Moral's critique focused on the real problem with the Shin Beth. The recordings exposed anti-democratic methods, but the real problem is these same methods are used daily against Palestinians without similar outcry. For example, administrative detentions jumped from ~1000 before the war to ~3500 after.
"The problem isn't the Jewish Division or the Palestinian Division. The problem is the powers given to Shin Bet and how easily exceptions are accepted." Close one division and these tools will be redeployed when politically convenient.

The Kahanists.
Israel’s extremist far-right end-times political movement, which is out to rebuild the 3rd temple and hasten messianic revival, expel all arabs by violence.. Who believe democracy is subservient to divine scripture and who now control the reins of power.
And yes. Everybody there also said ”they’re just some weird religious fringe” until they weren’t. Just like everywhere else the same thing is currently happening.

#Haaretz Editorial: Israel must oppose transfer, whether it's advocated by Rabbi Kahane or President Trump.
#Israel must reject the idea of transferring the Gazan population, regardless of whether it is proposed by figures like #Trump or Kahanists. The editorial insists that such proposals are unacceptable and should be opposed by Israel.
[...] In the Knesset, the serious concern about such a preposterous proposal was aptly expressed by United Arab List leader Mansour Abbas, who correctly pointed out that this isn't a political agenda but rather outdated, Kahanist thinking that normalizes the unacceptable.
[...] "One can't carry out a transfer without committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide [...] I urge all who are sane not to be dragged into an adventure that'll deepen hostility and hatred, not just between the two peoples – Israelis and Palestinians."

Quoting Shanir Klein:
[...] Opposition to using violence to conquer territory and empty it of its inhabitants must be an unwavering red line. The argument against displacement, especially from those who claim to be on the left and support human rights, should never have been solely about its impracticality (though that remains true). Rather, it must be rooted in the fundamental right of people to live in dignity, respect, and freedom from the fear of being driven from their land. These are the core lessons of World War II, the very foundation of the new global order that brought us peace and prosperity in the latter half of the 20th century.
Having failed to reject unequivocally the genocide in Gaza, why should Israel's "left" be trusted to oppose forced population transfer? Displacement is a war crime and a crime against humanity, regardless of framing, and is widely recognized as such outside the U.S.
Shanir criticizes the idea of transferring residents from #Gaza, acknowledging that #Trump's proposal has revealed a disturbing level of acceptance for such plans within the Israeli political spectrum, even among those who identify as left-wing. It shows that opposition to transfer thus far has been primarily pragmatic, rather than morally grounded. Shanir criticizes the silence of the Israeli opposition, arguing that opposing displacement should be a clear moral imperative, not just a matter of political expediency.
[...] While we may be grateful to Trump for his help in the recent hostage deal, this should not translate into support for his utterly unacceptable displacement plan. We reject a world where displacement is even considered an option. We oppose transfer because that is not the kind of world or country we want to live in. We must not jump on the bandwagon of #Kahanism just for short-term political gain with the White House. Trump won't be around to deal with the consequences of his words – we will.

„No Innocents in Gaza’: Reflecting on Israel’s First Fascist War
The only war that resembled this was the 1948 war that caused the Nakba, the motivations behind that war were different. That was a war to establish a Jewish state; this is a war to establish a fascist state. The State of Kahane has risen in Israel.”
(by Gideon Levy; Haaretz, 2025-01-23)

#Palestine / Two Arrested After Attack on Palestinian Women in the Occupied West Bank
Two suspects, David Chai Hasdai and Hillel David Ben Shoshan, were arrested on Tuesday and their detention extended for a week by a Jerusalem court. The pair are suspected of attacking five Palestinian women near the Givat Ronen illegal outpost in the occupied West Bank on Friday.
The incident, which reportedly involved physical assault and arson, left the women with injuries. One of the victims, Nufa'a Alaga'ar, reported suffering broken bones and severe trauma. "We experienced a nightmare," she said. "There were at least 20 people involved. How can they say they only arrested two?"
The suspects, both known "hilltop youth" (Jewish terrorists who subscribe to #kahanism) in the area, are facing charges of assault and arson with nationalist motives. Hasdai, who was previously placed on a US blacklist in February for alleged attacks on farmers and peace activists, is also under investigation by the International Criminal Court prosecutor in The Hague.
While the investigation is ongoing, lawyers for the suspects claimed the "evidence is weak" and they are maintaining their right to silence, fearing "biased enforcement."

look at his tattoo : its the logo of the fascist kach party — "existing from 1971 to 1994.[1] Founded by fascist Rabbi Meir #Kahane in 1971, based on his Jewish-Orthodox-nationalist ideology (subsequently dubbed #Kahanism), the party earned a single seat in the Knesset in the 1984 election, after several electoral failures.[4] However, it was barred from participating in the next election in 1988 under the revised Knesset Elections Law banning parties that incited racism. After Kahane's assassination in 1990, the party split, with Kahane Chai (כהנא חי, "Kahane Lives") breaking away from the main Kach faction."
...
ollowing the banning of Kach and Kahane Chai, the movements officially disbanded. The leadership of the former Kahane Chai formed an advocacy group known as The Kahane Movement. The group's activities consist mainly of maintaining the Kahane website, kahane.org. However, the Kahane Movement is listed on the United States' list of terrorist organizations as an alias for "Kach", though the group denies this.
The New Kach Movement existed between 2001 and 2003 and maintained websites posting Kahanist political commentary and held meetings with informal members. Headed by Israeli-born student Efraim Hershkovits, it had chapters worldwide and a youth movement, Noar Meir. Upon returning to live in Israel in 2003, Hershkovits disbanded the movement to avoid harassment by the Israeli government, advising its former members to support the Kahane Movement. After the organization had dissolved, its name was also added to the United States' list of terrorist organizations as an alias for "Kach". Hershkovits was arrested on 7 August 2005 and placed in administrative detention for three months by Israeli authorities.
The United States continued to designate the group as a terrorist organization by the early 2000s,[13] saying that it engaged in terrorist activity by:
using explosives or firearms with intent to endanger the safety of individuals or cause substantial damage to property (including an attempt to car bomb a Palestinian girls school in East Jerusalem)[36]
threatening and conspiring to carry out assassinations
soliciting funds and members for a terrorist organizationThe State Department also says that the group is suspected of involvement in a number of low-level attacks since the start of the Second Intifada in 2000.[15]
In the 2003 elections, former Kach leader Baruch Marzel ran as number two on the Herut – The National Movement party list. The party narrowly missed obtaining a seat. In 2004, he founded the Jewish National Front, which gained 24,824 votes (0.7%) in the 2006 elections, less than half needed to win a seat. Michael Ben-Ari, elected to the Knesset in 2009 on the National Union list, where he represents Eretz Yisrael Shelanu, is a self-declared follower of Rabbi Kahane who was involved with Kach for many years. Jewish National Front merged into Eretz Yisrael Shelanu prior to the election.
Former Kahane Chai chief executive[37] Mike Guzofsky continues to solicit funds in the U.S., with the support of American Kahanists.
A 2009 Haaretz story accused Avigdor Lieberman of past membership in Kach, an accusation Lieberman denies.[38]
A number of Kach followers, including Ben-Zion Gopstein, Baruch Marzel, Michael Ben-Ari, and Itamar Ben-Gvir, later became founding members and spokespeople for the segregationist Lehava movement.[39][40][41][42][43][44] Otzma Yehudit is a Kahanist political party that includes many of the same followers, including Ben-Gvir and Marzel.[18]
In 2022, the United States removed the group from its list of terrorist organizations.[45]

[cont'd] Haaretz's Editorial: The Last Thing Israel Needs Is Ben-Gvir's Perilous Parade of Jewish Thuggery
#Netanyahu accused of legitimizing #Kahanism, a radical and racist ideology, and of prioritizing his own political interests over the well-being of the country.

Kahanism
#Kahanism (Hebrew: כהניזם) is a religious Zionist ideology based on the views of Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder of the Jewish Defense League and the Kach party in Israel.
Kahane held the view that most Arabs living in Israel are enemies of Jews and Israel itself, and believed that a Jewish theocratic state, where non-Jews have no voting rights, should be created.[1]
The Kach party has been banned by the Israeli government. In 2004, the U.S. State Department designated it a Foreign Terrorist Organization.[2][3] In 2022, it was removed from the U.S. terror blacklist due to "insufficient evidence" of the group's ongoing activity, but it remains a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) entity.[4]
The Otzma Yehudit party, which has been called Kahanist and anti-Arab,[5][6] won six seats in the 2022 election and is a member of the current Israeli government. The party, and the Kahanist movement as a whole, have been described as espousing Jewish fascism.[7][8]

#Israel / Gallant at a Likud Meeting: "We Are Continuing Begin's Path - Not Ben Gvir's"
Seems to me Gallant is trying to distance himself from genocidal #Kahanism, which for all intents and purposes is now embedded in the #Likud party.
Gallant was attempting to explain his position following a speech in which he criticized the party chairman, PM Netanyahu. Explaining why he opposes military rule in #Gaza, he said:
"We don't have enough soldiers for that, [...] I am against a Palestinian state. There should be neither #Hamas nor Israel there, [...] We are continuing Begin's path, not Ben Gvir's - we have values, and I suggest we don't forget that we represent all Israelis (תנועה ממלכתית)."
The best part? "We have values" ... 🤔

Do not expect to see this reprinted in any western News paper EVER
Jerusalem Post is a conservative Israeli publication, having this published by them means the situation is really alarmingly bad.It's truly sad that we have such level of self censorship in the west when it comes to Israel.

"Although the phenomenon by #Ashkenazi #Jews of spitting near a church or priests isn’t new, it has become an act of public defiance and humiliation of believers who belong to a minority group. The most important development in recent years has been its spread to the #Muslim Quarter."

Natasha Roth-Rowland on the rise of Ben Gvir and with him, #Kahanism.
“Ben Gvir is not the aberration so many of his critics desperately want him to be, but another waypoint in the evolution of #Israel ’s efforts to maintain, and expand, Jewish supremacy at any cost.”

CW: #israpol, my take on another nightmarish elections [1/?]
while it's not final and only 45%~ of the votes have been counted atm, its safe to say that the #communist party's trick in which they farther divided the joint list, cost balad and the other #palestinian parties their political life. it propelled ben gvir and the jewish-supremacist party into the #knesset. the setters mobilised voters and #kahanism went from the margins to the very centre of institutional politics. the very same person...
