Post by: Tag-MehirTzedek on November 17, 2011, 03:31:02 PM
 This is his resume (found on Wiki)
Yoel Lerner

In October 1982 Yoel Lerner, a member of Meir Kahane's Kach, attempted to blow up the Dome of the Rock in order to rebuild the Temple Mount site.[8]:45 He was sentenced to two and a half years in prison. Mark Juergensmeyer identified him as a Jewish religious terrorist, writing that he "yearned for a Jewish society in Israel. He hoped for the restoration of the ancient temple in Jerusalem, the exclusive right of Jews to settle on the West Bank of the Jordan River, and the creation of a state based on biblical law."[8]:45 Lerner had previously served a three year sentence for heading a group that plotted to overthrow the government and establish a state based upon religious law.

I remember that.  A Conservative Rabbi who knew I was a Kahanist made a point of pressing me as to what I thought of it.  I told him, I did not know much about it, but from what he was describing I liked it.  Part of that was to get his goat, I actually liked the guy.  Today, I would probably say it was a bad idea.  All he accomplished was geting himself put in prison and convincing people that we were nuts.
