    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.

  2. #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 organization

    The 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]
