Founded by Rabbi [[Meir Kahane]] in 1971, based on his [[Militant Judaism|Militant Jewish]]-Orthodox-nationalist ideology (subsequently dubbed '''[[Kahanism]]'''), the party earned a single seat in the Knesset in the 1984 election, after several electoral failures. However, it was barred from participating in the next election in 1988 under the revised Knesset Elections Law banning parties that incited racism. After Kahane's assassination in 1990, the party split, with '''Kahane Chai''' (כהנא חי, "Kahane Lives") breaking away from the main Kach faction. The party was also barred from standing in the 1992 election, and both organisations were banned outright in 1994.

Today, both groups are considered terrorist organisations by Israel, Canada, the European Union, Japan, and the United States. The groups are believed to have an overlapping core membership of fewer than 100 people.
