Shuhada St. in Hebron - symbol of Israeli occupation, segregation and breaking of international law. The sticker says "Today everyone knows: Rabbi Kahane was right!". Was he?

Kahane was promoting the idea of a Greater Israel in which Israel would annex the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In order to keep Arabs, who he stated would never accept Israel as a Jewish state, from becoming a numerical majority in Israel, he proposed a plan allowing Arabs to leave Israel and receive compensation for their property, and forcibly removing Arabs who refused.

Kahane founded both the militant group Jewish Defense League (JDL) in the USA and an Israeli political party Kach ("This is the Way"). In 1984 he became a member of the Knesset when Kach gained one seat in parliamentary elections. In 1988, the Israeli government banned Kach as "racist" and "anti-democratic" under the terms of an ad hoc law. Today Kach and its offspring Kahane Chai are considered terrorist organisations by Israel, Canada, the European Union and the United States.
