It must be noted that this affair was denied and has no coroborating evidence. The only people writing about it are Rabbi Kahane's political nemesis.
It must also be noted that unlike what someone wrote below: "Since the NYT source is impeccable..."(sic) the NYT has been caught red-handed in allowing lies to fester when it is against those whose politics they dislike. References for that have been added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fairnsquare (talk • contribs) 04:14, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
You didn't read your own source WP:RS. :)
I didn't suggest taking away the section - is that a straw man? It is proper to note the context and the people reporting per wikis guidlines that you refered to.
If you feel something doesn't fit in the style guidelines then be specific and point out how or make it stylistically pleasing. Don't remove something because you personaly don't like it.
I did not do that and neither should you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fairnsquare (talk • contribs) 19:17, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
I gave a source indicating the author's bias and that is his own statement on his desire to broing Rabbi kahane down for the Rabbi's political beliefs which this author is in in disagreement with. So I am willing to hear how you would put in the very fair questionability of this source. But to ignore that totally ... wrong and unacceptable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fairnsquare (talk • contribs) 20:02, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
The Obituary makes no reference to what it is supposedly referencing which is why I'm removing it. The village voice statement has no reference either and it is being removed until reference is made.
I note that there are people here removing items from this page with no reason given. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fairnsquare (talk • contribs) 20:16, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
No relevant relation to topic titled section; no corroborating evidence to heavily biased anti-Kahane author who called Kahane "EVIL, a militantly strutting minion, a redeeming thug, a shtarker, had racist supporters, his legacy caused slaughters among supporters under his spell, and was cruel."ShivatTzion (talk) 01:42, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
The revision about borders is not supported by the sources. The interview makes no claim about land being seized only in war-ipso facto, the most reasonable interpretation is "minimal borders".70.190.102.49 (talk) 05:04, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
"Kahane was assassinated by El Sayyid Nosair in Manhattan in 1990 after concluding a speech in a New York hotel"
El Sayyid Nosair article states: "He was also charged by the State of New York as the gunman who killed Rabbi Meir Kahane...While acquitted of that charge Nosair was convicted of weapons charges"
Wikipedia find Nosair guilty as charged? I'm sure his lawyers will find that interesting.
One doesn't need an eye witness to find a murderer guilty of murder. He was seen immediately after firing the shot with the smoking gun, he ran away and shot some one else. The reason he was acquitted was because his liberal Jewish lawyer tricked the predominantly black jury into believing that Kahane hated blacks (which he did not). The judge rightfully criticized the not guilty verdict as being inconsistent with the evidence. (David Kessler) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.97.121 (talk) 21:57, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
I am puzzled about this part:
"The killer was recharged, convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment some years later, after the discovery of his membership in one of Sheikh Omar Abd El-Rahman's terror cells connected to Al-Qaeda in the United States."
In the first place, it is a confusion to refer to Omar abd-al-Rahman as connected to al-Qaeda. The 1992 World Trade Center bombing was a separate conspiracy from the 2001 attack. I also want to know: how was Nosair "recharged"? We are not supposed to have double jeopardy in the United States. This needs elucidation. Hadding (talk) 03:02, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Or there abouts. If you look at the differences, there seems to be quite a bit of difference. Can anybody look at all the changes and see what is what. I remove a little bit about Goldstein. Thanks! --Tom 13:12, 30 May 2007 (UTC) I sorry, but you forgot towrite down an Israeli and a Jewish Nazi, it is much more relevant then describing him as an activist.
To call him a Nazi is both silly and dishonest. There is no record of killing any Arabs, although he did advocate expelling them. (David Kessler) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.97.121 (talk) 22:00, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Clearly, this was an assassination and should be called so. Kahane was a political activist, a leader of a nationalist movement, if you will. Since the nature and purpose of the killing was definitely political based on religious motives, the responsible is to be called terrorist Ehud 04:02, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
If the supposed assassin was acquitted, he should not be described as the killer. Even in America one is presumed innocent until proven guilty - or did the "Patriot Act" do away with the presumption of innocense?
'I edited expansions in the intro. which is not supposed to contain them. The second contains this material, which is regiven below in the appropriate section dealing wih Kahane's death. It can't stay in both places, and should not be in the intro. since that deals with Kahane not with Al Qaeda, and terrorist incidents:-

I deleted the word "former" from "former member of the Israeli Knesset". He's dead, so it doesn't matter much that he's a former MK.
It was restored with the explanation that he was expelled from the Knesset before he died. I don't see how that is relevant. It doesn't make the word "former" any more useful.
Finding a concise encyclopedic way to explicitly mention that he was expelled in the opening paragraph may be useful, though. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 08:41, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Former in "former member of the Israeli Knesset" is VERY important. It recognizes the fact that he was expelled. if it wasn't in there people may get confused. Contribiter423 (talk) 01:21, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

//www.nytimes.com/1994/03/06/weekinreview/remembering-kahane-and-the-woman-on-the-bridge.html [1] It has been speculated that Rabbi Kahane's rabid anti-Jew/gentile relationship stand was at least partially based on his own unhappy experiences.
Since the NYT source is impeccable, I don't see any reason why this can't go into the article. Zerotalk 03:35, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

It keeps coming up in this article so it seems like time we address it: should Meir Kahane be in one of the terrorism categories? Sol (talk) 05:11, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
One reason why Wikipedia often cannot be taken seriously as an "encyclopedia" or even presenting fact-based articles -- is revealed by this article on Kahane.
Contrary to claims made in this article, Kahane never "infiltrated" the Birch Society for the FBI nor was he ever a "consultant" to the FBI concerning the JBS. Even his widow, Libby, told me that she had no corroborating documentation for this claim.
I possess the entire FBI HQ file on the JBS (12,000 pages; HQ 62-104401) along with most FBI JBS-related field office files -- and there is no mention whatsoever of Kahane nor is there any document which mentions somebody whose description would correspond to Kahane.
In addition, FBI field offices that used informants within any organization had to first prepare a summary memo about their proposed informant and then request authorization from HQ to use them.
After HQ approved use of the informant, periodic field office reports were submitted to HQ which summarized whatever info the informant provided and the field office would characterize every informant's data in terms of reliability (such as "of known reliability" OR "unknown reliability" OR the office assigned a percentage such as "informant information found to be 95% accurate".
BUT there are no such documents in any FBI JBS-related file because the FBI never sought or had informants within the Birch Society!
For an actual example showing how an FBI field office requested permission to use an informant and reported on reliability of information received, see the following documents pertaining to Rev. Delmar Dennis who infiltrated the most violent Klan in our nation's history---the White Knights of the KKK of Mississippi. Notice, too, that the Bureau assigned a code name and symbol number to every informant. Significantly, NO SUCH DOCUMENTS EXIST on Kahane with respect to "infiltrating" the JBS for the FBI.
http://sites.google.com/site/ernie124102/dennis
Beyond that, every FBI informant usually had expenses (e.g. travel to/from meetings, purchasing publications, membership dues, etc.) plus many were compensated for their services weekly --- so, obviously, FBI files always contain expense reports or memos reporting whatever monies were paid to them. BUT there are no such memos or reports whatsoever in ANY JBS file----because the FBI never had informants inside the JBS!
Furthermore, you have to ask the obvious question: what information about the JBS did the FBI supposedly want that it could not obtain except by “infiltration” by "informants"?
Lastly -- the FBI never conducted a formal investigation of the JBS. Informants were used by the Bureau primarily in instances where official investigations were conducted -- such as, for example, inside the KKK and CPUSA.
There were, of course, people who contacted the FBI of their own volition and then provided unsolicited raw information. In fact, many JBS members and JBS officials contacted their local FBI field office to ask questions, to report information such as telling the FBI they planned to subscribe to a Communist publication or to tell the FBI about some person or organization they suspected of being "subversive" or "pro-Communist", etc. If the contact was in person or by phone, an FBI Agent usually recorded the information in memo form and the memo became part of the JBS file (and/or other relevant files) but it was considered RAW information--which had not been verified as to accuracy.
The FBI Chicago field file on the JBS (100-36671) contains a serial which illustrates how unsolicited raw information was often received from citizens---but the person providing the information was not an FBI informant.
Serial #420 is a 29 page memo concerning a February 25-28, 1966 National Coordinating Committee meeting of the W.E.B. DuBois Clubs of America (Chicago file 100-40865). The FBI characterized the person who provided the information contained in that memo as “has furnished insufficient info to determine reliability”.
Page iii of the memo contains a “remarks” section at the bottom which makes the following comment about the person who provided the information:
“He is not being considered for PSI (potential security informant) because he holds ‘ultra-right’ views and it is not believed he could be controlled. However, he has been advised the FBI will be happy to receive any information he has that he feels might be of interest to the FBI. [Name deleted] because of his ‘ultra-right’ views is afforded no direction by the Chicago office.” [Chicago 100-36671, #420; 3/31/66].
It is not uncommon for FBI files to reflect information received from people whom the Bureau described as "mentally unbalanced" or "a bigot" or "extremist". It is also clear from FBI files that certain types of people would not be seriously considered as informants--including those whom the Bureau thought might want to use their association for personal benefit or who might embarrass the Bureau because they were unstable or irrational or considered to be political extremists.
For example: In an FBI memo dated January 21, 1964, the Bureau proclaimed that...
"As a matter of fact, the Bureau will not approve any individual for development as a confidential informant if he is a member of the John Birch Society." [FBI HQ file 62-104401, serial #2027, 1/21/64 memo to Mr. Callahan from (name excised)].
While it is possible that Meir Kahane contacted the FBI in New York City to report something he thought they might like to know, that hardly would convert him into an "FBI informant" Ernie1241 (talk) 20:46, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
I added a photograph of the graffiti, 'Gas the Arabs'. I understand there have been some passionate efforts to blank the photograph across several languages of Wikipedia, but I've only seen it done for apparently nationalist reasons. Given that there are reliable sources which connect vandalism in Hebron calling for the murder of Arabs to Meir Kahane, is there a sound reason for blanking the photograph? If using the photograph here seems unacceptable to you, or fails to meet some standard, why is it unacceptable, and what is that standard? Cheers, DBaba (talk) 14:32, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
How do you know that this specific graffiti can be linked to Meir Kahane? It's , at best, speculation. In essence, anyone could be responsible for it and contribute it to the JDL - not unlikely, given that the painting is in English. Anyway, the burden of proof that this graffiti can really be linked to JDL/Meir Kahane is yours. Knowalles (talk) 17:07, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Now I have Friedman's book. It seems pretty thorough and well-sourced (including multiple interviews with Kahane and his associates). I believe Friedman's book is a reliable source for this article. Friedman says that the Hebrew weekly Kolbo Haifa reported a public speech Kahane made in Haifa on June 28, 1985. He said "No one can understand the soul of those beasts, those roaches...we shall either cut their throats or throw them out." Then later "In two years time they will turn on the radio and hear that Kahane has been named Minister of Defence. Then they will come to me, bow to me, lick my feet, and I will be merciful and allow them to leave. Whoever does not leave will be slaughtered." It sounds pretty shocking, but after reading all the other examples Friedman brings it is not at all implausible. Zerotalk 10:26, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
A Los Angeles Times report from October 1985 which describes a meeting in Los Angeles at which Kahane appears to have said something similar (with the exception that he would be Prime Minister instead of Minister of Defense): Edward J Boyer - Kahane Means Terror to Arabs, He Says in L.A., 30 October 1985. At the end of the report, there is mention of Kahane being stripped of his American citizenship, something which isn't currently described in the Wikipedia article. ← ZScarpia 03:06, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

"Howerver, Kahane himself opposed the Black Panthers because they had supported anti-Jewish riots in Massachusetts had left-wing views." Should that not be 'and had left-wing views'?Doug1943 13:35, 11 June 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug1943 (talk • contribs)
I don't know much about Kahane, and I was confused by the "Infiltrating the John Birch Society" section. First it says that his wife claimed that he infiltrated the John Birch society, and that "later" he was in a relationship with a woman who killed herself. This implies that there was some connection between the two events, but I can't see what it is. Could somebody who knows more about him clear this up?—Chowbok ☠ 14:07, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
I have no proof".
...Kahane himself did not hide Evans' identity and established a charitable foundation in her name, which he advertised in JDL publications..." which means there is something more to this than pure fabrication. As I said above, your decision to mention the lawyer, and to emphasize his nationality, is a distraction. Dub had not even met Kahane until several years later, and his only relevant comments are speculative. If Dub's opinion is relevant, you would need a reliable, independent source contextualizing why it is relevant.
In the last paragraph in the introduction it says Meir Kahane was murdered by an Arab gunman. However, Egyptians are not Arab. It would be more accurate to say "Egyptian-American gunman" or just "gunman." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.101.180.123 (talk) 15:26, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
This sentence is problematic because it is not cited: "However, Kahane himself opposed the Black Panthers because they had supported anti-Jewish riots in Massachusetts and had left-wing views." A quick google search reveals no information on Black Panthers supporting anti-Jewish riots in Massachusetts, nor the occurrence of anti-Jewish riots at the time when the Black Panther party was active. Therefore, if this information is true, it needs to be cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.101.180.123 (talk) 15:30, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
I was reading the article The Woman on the Bridge. It details the suicide of Gloria Jean D’Argenios (a.k.a. Estelle Evans), who committed suicide after Meir Kahane (a.k.a. Michael King) broke-off an affair with her.
King/Kahane said he setup a memorial foundation in her name after she died, but it was used to funnel money to the Jewish Defense Fund:
[After her death] ... he set up a memorial foundation in her name, which was a Trojan horse to raise money for the organization that became the Jewish Defense League.
And:
All his underlying hatred for others seeded the origin for the JDL in the spring of 1968. “We have no great funds, no great influence, so the answer is simple: to do outrageous things,” he told New York Times reporter Michael Kaufman in January 1971. Money had to be raised, though, and it required setting up charitable, tax-exempt foundations. One of them, incorporated in August 1967, a full six months before the official existence of the JDL, bore the name of Estelle Donna Evans.
And:
When [New York Times reporter Michael Kaufman] Kaufman asked Kahane about the foundation’s namesake, the rabbi claimed she had been his former secretary in his failed consulting operation, she had died of terminal cancer, and her “well-to-do” family had endowed the foundation.
Finally:
Kaufman and fellow Times reporter Richard Severo felt something was off about the foundation and set out to prove their suspicions that it was fraudulent. In the process, they unearthed Kahane’s dangerous hypocrisy: promoting ethnonationalism and preaching against intermarriage while covering up an affair with a non-Jewish woman. “We could have changed the history of Israel,” Severo said nearly two decades later. “I wonder how many of his Orthodox supporters would have continued to follow him … if they knew the man was a charlatan?”
Jeffrey Walton (talk) 15:54, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
In the course of some reading on US nationality law, I came across Kahane's case. Clearing up some earlier confusion on this (see Kahane quotation "...") I added some additional details about the two separate revocation/renunciation proceedings related to his citizenship in Immigration to Israel — Election to Knesset: the first initiated by US Department of State, challenged by him, and overturned in court; the second initiated by him, later challenged by him, but upheld in court.
Hopefully this is not in violation of the current discretionary sanctions for this topic.

"he attended high school at both Abraham Lincoln High School and the Brooklyn Talmudical Academy" is subpar for Wikipedia. The Kahane entry at https://www.encyclopedia.com/politics/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/kahane-meir has the activist senior "quit his Jewish high school to attend a local public school" and this was after being accepted at am Orthodox/right-wing post-HS yeshiva. A proper wording would first of all state BTA/Brooklyn TA first. The OU/Orthodox Union's https://jewishaction.com/books/rabbi_meir_kahane_his_life_and_thought article, in reference to FORMAL education, omits the stunt.

This part is direct copying from the Sarah Weinman article in The Cut:
I'd fix this myself but am posting here due to 500/30 pseudo-ECP on the article.
Also, on the subject of Kahane's affair with Ms. D'Argenio, the article says "Journalists Michael T. Kaufman and Robert I. Friedman have separately said...", but the Weinman article indicates that Friedman was repeating the information discovered by two New York Times journalists (working together), Kaufman and Severo, not that he independently corroborated their research many years later. So "separately said" is source inflation. Sesquivalent (talk) 00:14, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Kahane's relevance to current affairs is missing. Can someone add? The page currently reads "His legacy continues to influence militant and far-right political groups active today in Israel", which doesn't capture the fact that his followers (Itamar Ben-Gvir particularly) have now will have huge influence in the Government after the 2022 election. In the Legacy section, there is nothing after 2017. This needs updating as Kahanists have become more involved in the mainstream, and Itamar Ben-Gvir and others are reaching a new generation of Israeli voters. That's worth noting, as it is particularly meaningful when someone who has been dead for a long time is inspiring contemporary political movements. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/10/israel-leader-of-far-right-jewish-power-party-pays-tribute-to-late-racist-rabbi 2A00:23C7:A829:B401:F4A9:A5D0:8232:AA30 (talk) 22:41, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
Kahane's view of the Arabs who live in Israel should obviously be added to this article, and Kahane's view was: Kahane's central claim and view was that the Arabs living in Israel are and will continue to be enemies of Jews and Israel itself.[1]108.30.240.77 (talk) 11:48, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

When the Allies, during World War II, bombed German towns, who did they kill? Women, children... They could only do such a thing because it was a war against the German people. When the Maquis in France took action against the Germans, they didn’t care whether they killed military or civilian Germans - it was war.
War is war. Either you fight or you don’t fight. The ‘Palestinians’, as they call themselves, are enemies of the state of Israel. There will be a perpetual war. With or without Kahane. It’s not Kahane who wants it. It’s because the Arabs believe that the Jews are thieves. I can understand the Arabs’ point of view. It has nothing to do with what the boundaries are. Whether they’re here or there makes no difference. When Israel accepted the 1947 boundary, the Arabs said no. Then the Arabs would not accept the 1949 boundary, and then the 1967 boundary. The Arabs won’t accept any boundary. The Arabs believe that this country belongs to them, and I can understand them. Therefore there will always be war. There isn’t a country in the world, which has two peoples in it, which has such a demographic distribution, and which has been able to live in peace. Look what’s happening even in those countries where the differences between the two communities are not so great, where, for example, there is only a simple religious difference between Catholic and Protestant Christians. Here we are different from the Arabs in every way. We speak a different language, we have different religions! There’s bound to be a bloody civil war here between those two population groups. I don’t want to kill any Arab. I want to move them out. I want them to live happily in peace, but not here in Israel. Somewhere else! What I am concerned about is the survival of the state of Israel as a Jewish state."

Please change the misspelled word synagogs in this article sentence, “Kahane publicized his Kahanism ideology through published works, weekly articles, speeches, debates on college campuses and in synagogs throughout the United States” to the proper spelling of synagogues. Thank you. 2601:589:407E:CB0:C006:180B:832:430E (talk) 23:11, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
