Jewish terrorism is religious terrorism committed by Jews who interpret Judaism to justify violence.
Extremist Religious Organizations
The following groups were all started or branched off from those started by Meir Kahane in the 1970s. Kahanist groups are banned in Israel[1][2][3]:
- Kach and Kahane Chai: (defunct) Israel and the United States[citation needed].
- Gush Emunim Underground: (1979-1984) Sometimes called the (Jewish Terror Organization), formed by prominent members of Gush Emunim.[4]
A new 'Jewish underground' is thought by some to be behind the 25 September 2008 pipe bombing of Zeev Sternhell, a political scientist at Jerusalem's Hebrew University.[5] The attack has been likened to the grenade attack that killed Emil Grunzweig.[6] In a hearing following the attack, Knesset's Committee for Internal Affairs, Chairman Ophir Pines-Paz stated: "we are calling this an act of terror because that is precisely what it is, especially when it pertains to an ideological debate on the direction Israel is going. . . . We have to take very firm action. These are terrorists-Jewish, but terrorists just the same."[7]
