164 pages. 183 x 106 mm. Martin David Kahane also known as Meir Kahane (and by the pen-names Benyac and David Sinai and the pseudonym Michael King, 1 August 1932 - 5 November 1990) was an American-Israeli rabbi and ultra-nationalist writer and political figure. He was an ordained Orthodox rabbi and later served as a member of the Israeli parliament or Knesset. Kahane founded both the Jewish Defense League (JDL) in the USA and Kach ("This is the Way!"), an Israeli political party. In 1984 he became a member of the Knesset when Kach gained one seat in parliamentary elections. In 1988, the Israeli government banned Kach as "racist" and "undemocratic" under the terms of an ad hoc law. In 1994 Kach was outlawed completely. Kahane was assassinated in a Manhattan hotel in 1990, after concluding a speech to an audience of mostly Orthodox Jews from Brooklyn; as a crowd of well-wishers gathered around Kahane following the speech in the second-floor lecture hall in midtown Manhattan's Marriott East Side Hotel. El Sayyid Nosair, an Islamic terrorist, fatally shot Kahane in the neck. It was the first assassination on American soil by Islamic terrorists. N° de ref. del artículo 003983
