Far right leader Meir Kahane assassinated by Arab in U.S. 15 years ago; settlers, far-right figures take part in ceremony, slam IDF, State <snip>
"Activists from the extreme right of Israel’s political spectrum commemorated the assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder of the now banned right-wing party Kach, in a ceremony held in Jerusalem Sunday evening.
Kahane followers were joined by evacuated settlers, settler youth movements and right wing activists, to vow the continuation of the struggle against government plans to close down the Jewish market in Hebron and the evacuation of illegal outposts.
Kahane was assassinated by an American citizen of Egyptian origins in the United States fifteen years ago.
Over 18 ceremonies were held across the country Saturday evening in commemoration of the Rabbi, to whom followers paid their tributes during prayers by his burial site on Givat Shaul in Jerusalem this evening."
