(AhlulBayt News Agency) - The life story of the late Israeli lawmaker Meir Kahane, an ultranationalist activist whose banned Kach party is considered a terrorist organization by the United States, is now available for children.
Arutz Sheva's Hebrew-language website last Tuesday presented a preview of the book, written by Naama Nieman and illustrated by Dikla Sagiv, and billed it as "An original way of teaching the path and heritage of Rabbi Meir Kahane to the young generation."
Among the scenes depicted are a map of Israel that includes the occupied Palestinian territories and Syrian Golan Heights. Another image shows an Israeli flag waving from a pole atop Jerusalem's Dome of the Rock, a Muslim holy site. The site is also holy to many Jews, who call it the Temple Mount.
Kahane was assassinated in 1990 in New York by an Egyptian gunman. The anniversary of his death was marked Tuesday at Jerusalem's Ramada Renaissance Hotel. The event was headlined, "Kahane was right."
According to Knesset member Michael Ben Ari, it is important to remember that Kahane was assassinated for political reasons and that his heritage teaches now "more than ever" that he was right.
"The younger generation must also be taught the image of the man who fought for the honor of Israel and acted for the people of Israel and for the land of Israel," Ben Ari was quoted as saying by Arutz Sheva.
Kahane advocated ethnically cleansing Israel and the Palestinian territories of Palestinians.
