Meir Kahane was a rabbi and a politician. He had to make his ideas politically and religiously acceptable.
A major political limitation in Kahane’s teaching is his rejection of civil war. Kahane repeatedly stated that he would shrink from imposing Judaism on Israeli society for the fear of civil war. Good Jews from Maccabees to Lehi did not shrink from civil war. Moses executed a large number of Hebrews for idolatry, leaving us a clear guideline: traitors must be executed. Society must not tolerate those who undermine its values. If a civil war is required to save Israel as Jewish state, then civil war is a must. Democratic processes won’t work: it is almost impossible to convince a silent majority of imminent danger. The Jews did not believe it in 1939.
Kahane’s major religious limitation is the concept of ger toshav. The Torah presumes a strong, politically incorrect, ethnically conscious Israeli state and so allows a number of foreigners to reside there as submissive resident aliens who respect the state’s Jewish character. Rabbis uncritically grafted that concept onto modern Israel. Kahane accepts that some Arabs can live in Israel with restricted civil rights. That won’t work. They will cry injustice, protest against apartheid, bring their extended families to Israel in family reunion schemes, and breed on Israeli welfare. No Arabs should be left in Israel, with the possible exception of those married to renegade Jews.
Kahane had to pander to the welfare addicts of the sephardic community. Kahane was an economic liberal and insisted on deregulation but could not reject socialist dogmas like equality. He therefore argued for the “normalization” of Jews who should take the Arabs’ jobs. It is not normal for Jews, however, to be street cleaners. Jews who could be engineers in any other country need not be janitors in Israel. Israel can import temporary workers from Asia for lowly jobs. They will live apart and leave after their non-renewable visas expire.
Other than that, Kahane was right.
There was another major major problem with Kahane that you missed but I know since I grew up in NY and got the paper he wrote for and found out more about it and that is he was LIBERAL ON THE ISSUE OF JEWISH DIVORCE BETWEEN A JEWISH MAN and A JEWISH WOMAN. He supported the editor's daughter of the Jewish Press to get a divorce when the husband didn't give her a divorce and the reality is men have TO PAY FOR DIVORCE AND USUALLY GIVE UP THE CHILDREN so if they are doing their best you can understand why they don't want to give a divorce. Also, women many times brainwash the children to hate the father. Honoring BOTH PARENTS is one of the 10 commandmaents. Easy divorce is connected to communism by they way. No fault divorce was part of the Soviet System in the early 1900's . Family is a check on government power. Even when you listen to Kahane he never mentions that women should not be too harsh on their men. He never mentions the issue of our women having more babies and getting married younger and puting that as a more important priority then career. He never mentioned affirmative action for women and how it demoralizes men and I'm sure that goes on in Israel. He did not TRUST JEWISH WOMEN TO have healthy birth rates which any society with low birth rates because of feminism and easy divorce laws which causes people to distrust marriage will cause serious problems. Kahane never said a word about what when on with the Jewish Press as they also were always puting down Jewish men as well. And women who are daughters of Rabbi's sometimes are arrogant because of their connections so I have my doubts about this divorce and the fact that some of these women want a marry a guy who is so-so because they are used to power and then complain afterwords and demand the mans money. That is very bad and without fair FAMILY LAW you will have low birth rates that will destory a country. The whole west is in trouble because of low birth rates, feminism and making it too easy to divorce. Should they also abolish democracy or should they try to make laws so that the majority culture has more children. I also don't think he really believed in basic property rights in that if a person did own land you and is not a 5th column or immoral you can't just kick him out. That wasn't the case in Israel but the way he spoke about the situation he did say if the Jews were kicked out 2,000 years ago they should still be entitled to their land which I think is crazy and wasn't the case in Israel so why even bring it up which then leads me to believe Kahane did not beieve in basic property rights.
Rabbi Kahane repeatedly emphasized the family values and the need for more Jewish children. One example is the article Have More Jewish Babies at http://samsonblinded.org/news
Rabbi Kahane supported inalienable property rights even for Israeli Arabs, and he demanded the free economy in Israel.
Danny pay no mind to the ranting lunatic (although it's helpful when you refute his idiocy). This tool spams every mention of Kahane on the internet with adam "woman-hating, Kahane cursing" agenda. Yes, this reprehensible 'adam' actually CURSED Kahane on youtube videos in addition to his typical spam to try to persuade people not to listen to Kahane's words (oh no adam, afraid someone might be positively influenced to be more than a hateful wimp like yourself?). Adam resents Kahane for telling the truth, and adam would rather "inspire" people by lambasting the newspaper 'the jewish press' and defending the Arabs.

Another newsflash for adam the woman-hater: Kahane recommended compensation for the value of property of any Arabs who would choose to leave.
Thank you Shomar for posting this article however this makes Kahane look worse not better. This article was written in 1972. Kahane doesn't mention this in his later video's. Why not? At some point obviously this issue he didn't want to discuss even though he knew it was an issue? Why?
Even the article though shows my original point. His reason for the lowering birth rates. Playboy and being worried about too many people in the world. He mentions one sentence on women thinking freedom is being focused on their career but after that one sentance he does not eloberate and he FOCUSES ON playboy and people WORRIED ABOUT TOO MANY CHILDREN IN THE WORLD as the biggest reason for lowering birth rates. So even here we wasn't bringing up the biggest problem which IS WOMEN PUTING OFF MARRIAGE BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED TO THINK CAREER IS MORE IMPORTANT. The statistics back it up as the birth rates of women in their 20's since 1960 has gone done over 100%. It was about 230 per 1,000 women in 1960. Today it is about 110. The 30's the decline is less but of course women are less able to get pregent their 30's especially over 35. In the 30's in 1960 it was 90 birth per 1,000 women in 2000 it is 65 births per 1,000 women. So the decline IS MUCH HIGHER IN THE 20's. Did Kahane really believe that was because of playboy and too many people as the biggest reason. Sorry.
Nobody has refuted my charges. Instead I am called a women hater and worse a homosexual. I curse a movement that would do this to someone. Homosexuality is one of the worse sins in the torah and to call someone a homosexual because you don't want to respond to them is really sickening. I don't want a leader G-d forbid that has followers like this. They have made other vicious charges against me rather then answering my questions including calling me a violent man that needs medication. I should support a person like this that has sick followers like this. I don't hate women. THe people that are telling women to put careers first and don't tell him the consequences of puting off marriage to their 30's or even later are the women haters. Not me. Women have the ability to bring life into the world. Men don't. For people to not want women to bring life into the world they are the true women haters. Not me. Most women who are brainwashed by feminists later on have deep regrets and wish somebody had told them the truth.
In terms or property rights for the arabs if the arabs said "no" he wasn't going to comensate them although in this situation I agree since they are a legitimate 5th column regardless who support leaders that want to wipe out Israel. On many interviews though Kahane did not think that who lived in Israel for the 2,000 years most Jews didn't live there was relevent which does not show legitimate belief in property rights. THe reality was and is the land was basically unsettled and they won a war for crying out loud and therefore there is no reason to say what Kahane said. Should every country claim greviences from 2,000 years ago. There would be chaos if that is so.
