How would R.Kahane and a Kahanist Government sort out the conversion farrago?!
http://www.haaretz.com/magazine/anglo-file/rabbinate-s-new-jewish-id-demands-stymieing-marriage-plans-immigrants-say-1.303532

What does Chayim say on the subject?

There are so many Beth Dins and other different interests at stake, and so many different definitions to who is a Jew, and the non-uniform standards of proof that are required.

It would be excellent if Pipi's government actually fell over the perennial "Who is a Jew" question!

As we see, even "proving" that your mother was a Jewess doesn't cut it any more!

If Chaim doesn't respond to this thread you should ask it as an Ask JTF question, that would be a good one.

To answer this it needs a top rabbi and dayan who is also a Kahanist, or sympathetic to. No doubt they would be stricter than eg R.Druckman,
of the last conversion "scandal"
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3405573,00.html
who although having a big knitted kippa and a big beard, is very, very far from Kahanism.

R.David Bar Chaim would have something daring to say, but he probably wouldn't be "mainstream" enough.

What are the names of the former Israeli and Anglo Kahane Chai/Kach rabbis in Israel?

Are there any of them left, even?

Actually Chaim addressed this somewhat on Ask JTF this week.  I believe it was in Dr. Dan's question.   You should download the program.
