Jewish Organisations

The Jewish Task Force (JTF) is a right-wing Jewish Kahanist group established and operated in the United States. Its primary goal is to collect funds for Israel's extremist right-wing Jewish organisations.

“National Union - Tkuma” is an Orthodox Jewish, far-right political party in Israel established in 1998, when Hanan Porat and Zvi Hendel left the National Religious Party. The Religious Zionist Party contains a reincarnation of the Kahanist movement.

The formation of the Jewish Defense League (JDL) goes back to 1968 when extremist Jewish Rabbi Meir Kahane was serving as the Associate Editor of the Jewish Press - an American weekly newspaper based in Brooklyn, New York.

The formation of Hilltop Youth (HY) Movement dates back to 1998, when Ariel Sharon, former Prime Minister of Israel, urged settlers to “grab the hilltops”, saying: “Everything that’s grabbed will be in our hands. Everything we don’t grab will be in their hands.

“Lehava” is a right-wing and Jewish supremacist organization founded by extremist activist Bentzi Gopstein in 2005. The organization, with more than 10,000 active members, derives its ideas and beliefs from the doctrine of Kahana, Rabbi Meir Kahane, who believed in a homogeneous Jewish state run according to the provisions of the Torah.

Otzma Yehudit, led by MK Itamar Ben-Gvir, advocates for the annexation of the West Bank, the deportation of “enemy” Arabs to neighbouring countries, the supremacy of religious Jewish law in Israel, the rejection of the creation of a Palestinian state - and by this, giving Israel total control of the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
