DAVID SHEEN reports on the Kahane Movement The Kahane movement -- a far-right faction once shunned for its blatant racism, even by Israeli standards -- has been catapulted into power, becoming the third-largest party in parliament. Who are these followers of arch-racist Rabbi Meir Kahane, and how did they become the kingmakers of the Knesset? Stories from the front lines of Israel's race wars, with the journalist who most closely covered their rise to power for the past decade.

But New York is the place that Kahane was born and raised, the place that he first preached his theology of hate, the place where he first rose to political prominence - and the place where he still has legions of followers and funders. In fact, without huge infusions of financial support from New Yorkers, the Kahane movement would have long since floundered and failed. So why don't American politicians - even ostensibly liberal lawmakers from the Democratic Party - end the gravy train that's fueling the most racist and most murderous movement in modern Jewish history? The latest lecture from investigative journalist and human rights defender David Sheen.

But while most of the killers to come out of the Kahanist camp (more than twenty in number) have been dealt at least some form of punishment, those that murdered Palestinian-American activist Alex Odeh outside Los Angeles in 1985 have never had to answer for their crimes. Until now: investigative journalist and human rights defender David Sheen dug deep where the FBI could not go, and where Israel's Shin Bet didn't want to, unearthing enough evidence to put Odeh's assassins behind bars for the rest of their lives. But is there political will on either side of the Atlantic to act on it?

Ever since, the JDL's been mostly dormant in the US, but in Israel and the occupied Palestinian Territories, Kahane's eliminationist ideology has more adherents than ever. In 2021, Kahane's followers were voted into the Knesset, Israel's legislature; from there, they incited race riots that Israel's police chief called a "Jewish intifada". Instead of denying them platforms from which to promote their race wars, Israeli media outlets are now giving the Kahanists more airtime than any other political party, ensuring that their popularity will only continue to rise.

Why does Netanyahu's ruling Likud party rehabilitate the most reactionary American-born rabbis and their local acolytes at the vanguard of Israel's eliminationist movement? How have their extensive efforts to turn all of Israel*Palestine (and territories beyond) into a single racially pure religious state escaped the attention of the mainstream media, for decades? A scandalous report from inside Jewish Israeli society by local journalist and human rights defender David Sheen that will leave you demanding answers -- and action -- before it's too late.
