Kahanism - Alleged Kahanist actions in Israel and the West Bank

Kahanism - Dr. Baruch Goldstein

The deadliest attack was when Baruch Goldstein, affiliated with Kach through the JDL, killed 29 Arabs at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, in 1994. After this attack, members of Kach praised Goldstein's actions, and in the insuing political turmoil, the Knesset banned Kach in Israel. Kahanists believe the attack prevented a repeat of the 1929 Arab massacre of Hebron's Jews.

Kahanism - Suspected Kahanist violence

Roadside shootings, stabbings and grenade attacks against Palestinians have been carried out in Jerusalem and the West Bank by individuals or groups suspected of having ties to the former Kach group. Aliases such as "The Committee for the Safety of the Roads" [1], "The Sword of David" and "The Repression of Traitors" have been used. There is no evidence that real organizations with these names exist. The US government, claims that these are all aliases of "Kach", [2].

Kahanism - Eden Natan-Zada

On August 4, 2005, Eden Natan-Zada, an AWOL Israel Defense Forces soldier, murdered four Israeli Arab citizens and wounded several others when he opened fire on a bus in the northern Israeli town of Shfaram. Natan-Zada then surrendered to police who turned him over to an angry Arab crowd. Natan-Zada was beaten and killed by the mob. He had originally become involved with Kahanist activists via the internet, and hid from service in the religious West Bank settlement of Kfar Tapuach, home of deceased Kahane Chai leader Binyamin Kahane. No group has taken credit for Natan-Zada's attack or claimed that he was acting on their wishes, and members of the Kfar Tapuach community have condemned his attack against Arab civilians.
