Title: We should all petition A&E to make a biography of the Rav.

Who thinks that if we do this, Calling A&E and having a Biography episode about him, that JTF would get some exposure? Chaim also could be interviewed on that show?

Who thinks this is a good idea?

Its funny.  To think of how appealing Rabbi Kahane is to righteous gentiles.  If only they ALL knew who he was. 

I can say, as a gentile, that Rabbi Kahane was one of the Greatest Men of the twentieth century.

What about the History Channel?  They could make a documentary on Rabbi Kahane and the rise of the JDL movement and campaign to free Soviet Jewry.  I think that would have sufficient interest.  Not only was it an important historical Jewish movement, but it also is significant because it would deal with civil rights issues around the 60s and 70s such as affirmative action, violence, relations with blacks in the city, civil rights, etc.  It would be an important documentary about American history, not just Jewish history.

I think in the end it would be too controversial and politically incorrect for any of the cable networks.

They would bring on Shelly Rubin as a character witness.

Agreed, in fact their is only maybe a few Christian scholars that I would put above him. He would be the top non-Christian.
