Jewish Defense League (JDL)
|
Rabbi Meir David HaKohen Kahane (; Hebrew: רבי מאיר דוד הכהן כהנא; August 1, 1932 – November 5, 1990) was an American-born Israeli ordained Orthodox rabbi, writer, and politician who served one term in Israel's Knesset. A cofounder of the Jewish Defense League and founder of the Israeli political party Kach, he espoused militant views and actions to combat anti-Semitism that led to a 1971 criminal conviction in the United States for conspiracy to manufacture explosives intended for the Soviet Mission to the United Nations in New York City, and in Israel for plotting to blow up the Libyan embassy in Brussels in revenge for the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich; in each case he received a suspended sentence and probation.
