I believe that Rabbi Kahane was more right-wing at the end of his life, then when he was actively involved in politics.
If you track his positions on the Arabs and on Israel's left wing, you will see his positions evolved over the course of time.
If he were still alive today, I don't think he would still advocate everything said in the interview.

I view the "Ohr Haraayon", Rabbi Kahane as the authoritative Rabbi Kahane. You are free to disagree.

This world lost a gem and saint when he was murdered.  Gd bless him.

First of all ohr harayon was put together posthumously by his students from notes, NOT PUT TOGETHER BY THE RAV.

Secondly how do you claim he was not involved in politics at the end of his life?  Or that his views changed significantly at the very end?
