News & opinions from a Palestinian-American
living & working in Ramallah/Al-Bireh, Palestine
Meir Kahane, born Martin Kahane in Brooklyn in 1932, was an Orthodox rabbi who espoused a virulently racist ideology, founding a violent Jewish extremist movement and fascist political party in Israel.
Kahane’s followers have murdered dozens of people and injured hundreds of others in numerous violent attacks against Palestinians, Americans, and others in Israel, the occupied Palestinian territories, and the United States.
As a result, his Kach party, Jewish Defense League, and offshoots were labeled terrorist organizations by the US government. Kahane himself was arrested approximately 70 times in the US and Israel for planning and carrying out violent attacks but never received any serious punishment for his crimes. (Source: IMEU)

Through recounting his own spectacular life, Dr. Shawki Harb’s memoir, “A Surgeon Under Israeli Occupation,” depicts Palestinian reality from the British Mandate to today. Born a Christian and breastfed by a Muslim, Dr. Harb embodies the best of both traditions. If you are from my generation or older in Palestine, you know and respect the person even if you have never crossed paths with him.
