'''Meir Kahane''' born '''Meir David HaKohen Kahane''' was an American born Israeli ordained Orthodox rabbi and writer who coined the phrase "Never Again" in the Jewish community and founded the [[Jewish Defense League]] in 1968 and Kach Party in 1971 which advocated an extremist form of Jewish Nationalism that perpetrated segregation and discrimination against Non-Jews in Israel and abroad. In his attempt to fight for Jewish rights, he committed acts of extreme threatening behavior against Communistic forces such as attempting to acquire and grow biological weapons to use on a Soviet military installation, leading the 1971 bombing on the Soviet United Nations mission and injuring two officers, and advocated the expulsion of Arabs from Israel and the Occupied Territories. Kahane sanctioned Jewish violence against Arabs as part of a theological challenge to the commonly read view of the Torah, which repeatedly commands the Israelites not to oppress the stranger, because they themselves were strangers in Egypt.

While he was serving in the Knesset in the mid-1980s, Kahane proposed numerous laws, none of which passed, to emphasize Judaism in public schools, do away with Israel's bureaucracy, forbid sexual relations between non-Jews and Jews, transfer the Arab population out of Israel, revokr Israeli citizenship from non-Jews, and end cultural meetings between Jewish and Arab students.
