Response to terrorism

Jewish terrorism is religious terrorism committed by Jews who interpret Judaism to justify violence[verification needed].

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]:

A new 'Jewish underground' is thought by Ehud Olmert 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]
