Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon is moving to name anti-assimilation group Lehava a terrorist organization, Channel 2 reported on Sunday
According to the report, Ya’alon instructed the Shin Bet and legal authorities in the Defense Ministry to collect evidence that would support the move.
Three members of the group were indicted last month for allegedly setting an integrated Jerusalem school on fire and spray-painting anti-Arab graffiti there.
Ten more of the group’s members, including its leader Bentzi Gopstein, were arrested days later for incitement.
Lehava propagates the racist ideology of the late Jewish Defense League founder Meir Kahane, who was assassinated in New York City in 1990 after his radical Kach Party was outlawed in Israel for inciting racism.
Lehava made national headlines in August when its members attempted to disrupt the wedding of an Arab man to a Jewish woman who had converted to Islam.
Racist ideology of Rabbi Kahane?! Who is it that wants to make the Easternmost borders of Israel Judenrein! Who is that targets toddlers in baby carriages with their cars, or slaughters infants in their swaddling cloths and proclaims the fiends shaheeds? Oslo is dead and was never an option. An open hand should never grasp a proffered bloody knife without the protection of an armored glove!
Indeed they are terrorist. They are inciters and agitators Yehuda Glick should be included on that list.
But they are no more terrorist then Menachem Begin who bombed the King David and Arik Sharon /Sabra and Shatila massacre.
having innocent yiddishe kiderlach being put in the same school with Arab children and celebrating Arafats aniiversary. isnt this terrorism ?? yes this is the lefts dream of having any religion taking away from children while they are still young.
once and for all declare who the true terrorists are. they are even amoung us that want to destroy any thing with yiddiskeit/
Am yisroel chai.
such BS. they are afraid of the religious right since they love eretz yisroel and prefer Jewish living over being a goy.
