The question is, Why was Kach labeled a terrorist organization? I don't know. And you don't know. Now, let's look at [1] at the bottom of the page, under "Terrorist Activity". One of the things there is protests against the Israeli government. Another is *threatening* to attack Arabs. And finally we have a shooting eight years ago for which they claimed responsibility. ([2] does not even mention this shooting.) Sure sounds like a terrorist organization to me! And of course, this is an article about Kahane. He never praised Goldstein. |
I might be mistaken here, but I believe it was the Israeli government that described Kach as a terrorist group. I'm not exactly sure what they did to get this title, but I think that praising Goldstein was one thing. Some other editor had stated that its terrorist activities were "protesting against the Israeli government", which sounds to me to be just pro-Kach apologetics. I looked for what they did to get called that by the Israeli government, and praising Goldstein was the only thing I could find. -- SJK |

Well, no. It's not a terrorist act to praise someone for murder, though it is both callous and damndably stupid. "Notorious" might be the adjective you're looking for. Also, who/what is "Kach"? Any explanation of that? a link to him/her/it perhaps? a short description? --KQ
