In a Hebrew article, I gave a rough translation of the first half of an article by Rabbi Hasdai who claims Rabbi Kahane was not a Kahanist.
Chaim ben Pesach or anyone else how would you respond to his claims?http://www.srugim.co.il/123352-%D7%94%D7%90%D7%9D-%D7%94%D7%A8%D7%91-%D7%9B%D7%94%D7%A0%D7%90-%D7%94%D7%99%D7%94-%D7%91%D7%9B%D7%9C%D7%9C-%D7%9B%D7%94%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%A1%D7%98-%D7%93%D7%A2%D7%94Not at all certain that Rabbi Kahane was Kahanist / Opinion
Rabbi Moshe Hasdai,
The Generation of the hilltops has to change, to grow up, take responsibility, to choose a good eye, connect and build a life, to find legal ways for protest and self-defense. The generation of hilltops must rise to the teachings of MESSIAH
Not at all certain that Rabbi Kahane was Kahanist / Opinion
Is Rabbi Kahane was Kahanist? Is there today Kahanism inconsistent with the method of Rabbi Kahane? Is Kahane viewpoint accepted as Halacha? The Generation of the Hilltops, seemingly, rely on the principles of the holy Rabbi Meir Kahane . It is very important to make perfectly clear his system, and then discuss it. This is the order of the day.
Religious Zionism does not need to take stock
"Religious Zionism way to take control of the State of Israel"
Rabbi Kahane always differentiated between the Government of Israel and the state of Israel. Israel is holy, beginning of redemption, expressed in martyrdom, and say Hallel on Independence Day ("the Jewish Idea"). And certainly one does not act to overthrow it. However, Kahane said, wrote that the Israeli government is a government of malice, having to fight it.
Chief Rabbis opposed the Irgun and Lehi, but even then there were rabbis who supported them (as Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook and Rabbi Aryeh Levin), but were forced to remain silent out of fear of British, but today most of the public and the rabbis justify the actions of the Irgun. And so Rabbi Kahane brought evidence of what today we praise the actions of David Raziel, who in Jewish year 5698 planted bombs in the Arab market that killed dozens of Arabs ( from his speeches as recorded in מעל במת הכנסת). But he himself raised the argument that today the government has the role to do these operations.
Rabbi Kahane considered "you should not let any soul survive" is said about the people of Canaan and also said concerning the so-called" Palestinians ", because they claim ownership of the Land of Israel and they are likely to come and fight us (Ohr Haraayon). But he does not say with certainty.
He was always telling individuals not to harm the Arabs because you are likely to get caught, in his words: "There areש"ב , ש"ג. .
Rabbi Kahane never sent youths and even more so young girls, to dangers and violent resistance, such as Amona or at Bethel. He was against it.
About rabbis, Rabbi Kahane Although he wrote that scholars influenced by distortion of exile (The Jewish Idea), but he wrote we must obey what the rabbi writes, even if you think it's wrong, but we have to try to convince him of his mistake (Peirush Hamaccabbee)
About the country's leaders, he said they partners with terrorism because they do not fight against it. But there was always a warning against civil war, in light of our experience at the end of the Second Temple. When he was accused of attacking Jews, he responded the Left is the only one who raised arms against the Jews for fifty years (The Season and the Altalena). He refused to attack Jews, even soldiers who came to evacuate settlers – he opposed the evacuation but did not hit soldiers.
These are the main principles of Rabbi Kahane. In other words, Rabbi Kahane was not a Kahanist.
