Who Was Meir Kahane? Meir Kahane (1932–1990) was an American-born Israeli rabbi and politician. He first gained notoriety in the U.S. by founding the Jewish Defense League (JDL) with the slogan "Never Again," often employing militant tactics to protect Jews in urban neighborhoods. In 1971, he moved to Israel and founded the Kach party. His platform was centered on: * The transfer of Arabs out of Israel and the Palestinian territories. * Theocratic law, prioritizing Jewish religious law (Halakha)
