Occupied Jerusalem - The Israeli media on Sunday revealed that a para-military Jewish terrorist group has been operating against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank with the knowledge and tacit approval of the Israeli army.
According to the Israeli-state run radio, Reshet Bet, members of the group, known as the “Hebrew Brigade,” are armed with automatic rifles and equipped with jeeps and dangerous attack dogs.
Quoting unidentified security sources, the radio said the group is made up of dozens of erstwhile cadres of the Kach movement, the terrorist group founded by Rabbi Meir Kahana and dedicated to the destruction of the Palestinian community in Israel proper, the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.
Kahana, a one-time member of the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, called for the “extirpation” or “extermination” of non-Jews in Israel and the occupied territories, following the example of the ancient Israelites who ethnically cleansed the Canaanites as narrated by the Old Testament.
Kahana also taught that democracy and Judaism were completely incompatible and that non-Jews could never attain equality in a truly Jewish state.
Kach had been declared a “terrorist group” by both Israel and the United States. In 1995, a member of Kach named Egal Amir, assassinated former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin for signing the Oslo Accords with the Palestine Liberation Organization.
However, since Ariel Sharon came to power in Israel in 2001, the Israeli government, and especially the powerful military establishment, has been dealing rather leniently with Kach and similar extreme right-wing groups, ostensibly because of the ideological affinity between the Likud, Sharon’s Party, and the far-right parties.
**According to the Hebrew newspaper, Ma’ariv, which published a report on the resurfacing terrorist group last week, the Kach vigilantes, as they are called here, erect surprise roadblocks and checkpoints on roads used by Palestinian motorists, using attack dogs. **
Sometimes, the terrorists reportedly serve as a “back-up force” by “assisting” the army in “keeping law and order.”
Some members of the well-organized group reportedly have threatened and blackmailed Israeli security officers living in their respective settlements.
The Israeli army has acknowledged, rather begrudgingly, the existence of the group but denied that it was operating under the its supervision.
