More About the Author

Rabbi Meir Kahane was born in New York City in 1932. He studied at the Mir Yeshiva in Brooklyn and was ordained in 1956. The same year, he completed New York Law School and later received a masters degree in International Relations from New York University. After serving as a congregational rabbi, he found the Jewish Defense League in 1968 to combat anti-Semitism.
Concerned about the alienation and assimilation of Jewish youth, Rabbi Kahane spent two decades touring American college campuses, exhorting Jewish students to learn about Judaism, make Aliya to Israel, and to stand up proudly as Jews.
In 1970 he spearheaed a campaign of Jewish activism which led to the emigration of tens of thousands of oppressed Jews from the Soviet Union.
He entered the political arena in Israel when he made Aliya in 1971, and was a member of the Knesset in Israel from 1984 to 1988. He authored several best-selling books, including Never Again, Why Be Jewish and The Story of the Jewish Defense League. His widely-read columns appeared weekly in the Jewish Press from 1961 to 1990.

5.0 out of 5 stars A landmark work November 2, 2004
Format:Hardcover
I must admit I was a little bit skeptical opening this book, due to its reputation for intolerance. But the very first page will make you realize just how important it is. This is a plea, a loud call to save Israel before it is to late. It is not the much maligned ignorant intolerant ranting that it is accused of. Rather this enlightening work, written by hand and smuggled out of a Ramle prison, calls for the separation of the Arabs and Israelis as the only hope to a true and lasting peace. Anyone who has been to Israel will understand that this is necessary. But for those still taken in by what Kahane called the `myth' of coexistence this book will explain in excruciating, terrifying detail the truth behind the coexistence of the 1920s and 30s, the endless riots and assaults on Jewish refugees and Jewish villages. Separate chapters detail the transfer of Germans from Poland and Czechslovakia after World War Two, as well as enlightening paragraphs on the India-Pakistan transfers of 1948 and the transfer in Cyprus in 1974 and even among the Turks and Greeks in 1921. But this book also tells the dismal stories of places where transfer did not take place such as Sri Lanka or Burma, where strife, hatred, intolerance and racism have resulted.

Of course it is easy to label this book hateful, for most of us raised in the West it will seem incredibly intolerant and primitive, but this book understands the truth about how things really are in 90% of the world. For anyone interested in the survival of Israel, for anyone wanting to understand the modern day Israeli right, and for anyone wanting a totally new view of the conflict this is a must buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Logic and Clarity May 12, 2002
By Adam
Format:Hardcover
Kahane's politics, while controversial and highly criticized, are made clear and concise in this work. Once having read this book, the reader has no doubt as to Kahane's philosophy and ideology on the matter of the Arabs in Israel. He uses logic and clarity in the presentation of his politics and does an incredible service to his readers with the use of historical precedent.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a book! November 21, 2001
Format:Hardcover
Rabbi Kahane shows the greatest and most realistic understand of the question about the arabs who live in Israel, as citizens.He explanates the impossibility of jewish-arab togetherness in Israel and the threat which is Arabs living in Israel.Quoting several researches, journal articles, Torah(bible)passages and historical facts, Rabbi Kahane clearly reveals the blindness and fear of Israel's government about the question, making critics on both left and right wing parties.But he doesn't stop on the critics; he goes further and proposes a solution which, in my point of view, is very reasonable and logic. Anyone looking for an unbiased and realistic thought over the Israeli arab question must read this awesome book.
