This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

In the last paragraph in the introduction it says Meir Kahane was murdered by an Arab gunman. However, Egyptians are not Arab. It would be more accurate to say "Egyptian-American gunman" or just "gunman." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.101.180.123 (talk) 15:26, 27 February 2019 (UTC) Reply

'Muslim gunman' would be more pertinent as he was radicalised in a mosque. 2.29.189.224 (talk) 20:51, 25 August 2024 (UTC) Reply

Lightiggy corrected the year of Ernest Bevin's vist to New York—during which he was picketed by a young Kahane—as 1949, instead of the previous version which had it as 1947. The source for the earlier date seems to be Kahane's father, as reported by Michael Kaufman of the New York Times. I don't have access to The False Prophet, but there are numerous sources for a 1949 visit in which Bevin was picketed and subjected to an "egg-and-tomato barrage" (here is one example, and here is a photo) but with no mention of Kahane being present, as he was only a teenager then and relatively obscure. Bevin visited New York in other years also, as would be expected of a Foreign Secretary. Can someone provide a quote from the book or otherwise vouch for the corrected date?

@Chowbok Meir Kahane is included on the Fascism template under the Israel section. Therefore the template can be added to the page. Seems pretty straightforward. JPHC2003 (talk) 21:52, 29 September 2025 (UTC) Reply

Do you have any reliably-sourced claim that he was a fascist?—Chowbok ☠ 22:13, 29 September 2025 (UTC) Reply

For the record, I was not the one who added Kahane to the Fascism template. However, here are some sources calling him or Kahanism fascist. The fascism template is also included on the Kahanism page.

"Change the title 'Emigration to Israel' to either 'Emigration from the United States of America' or 'Immigration to Israel'. The current title is grammatically incorrect." 2001:1970:46E2:5A00:998:B460:D614:9631 (talk) 04:03, 16 October 2025 (UTC) Reply

Not done. I understand what you mean, but I did a google search: "emigration to" and I got 1,740,000 results. One of them was the Cambridge dictionary, so obviously, "emigration to" is fine.

PS Linguistically, I think emigration to is beautiful, because it both says that one left one country and entered another one - this whole process described in two words!

So in page 77 of "Israel's Ayatollahs", there is an interview with Meir Kahane: https://archive.org/details/israelsayatollah0000merg/page/n9/mode/2up?q=jericho+nablus

The Arabs sincerely believe — and I can understand them — that Haifa belongs to them, and Tel Aviv, and Jaffa, not just Judea and Samaria. They sincerely believe — and, again, I can understand them — that this country belongs to them. In 1948, 80,000 Arabs lived in Jaffa. There were 70,000 in Haifa, and 50,000 in Ramleh and in Lod....

And it goes on for 2 more sentences. Does anyone have a secondary source for this? Context? Analysis? Anything? 2kbfloppadisk (talk) 18:21, 30 June 2026 (UTC) Reply
