Kahanism is an extremist Jewish ideology based on the views of Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder of the Jewish Defense League and the Kach party in Israel. Kahane maintains that the majority of Arabs living in Israel are enemies of Jews and Israel itself, and that a Jewish theocratic state, where non-Jews have no voting rights, should be created.〔: "Any non-Jew, including the Arabs, can have the status of a foreign resident in Israel if he accepts the law of the Halacha. I don’t differentiate between Arabs and non-Arabs. The only difference I make is between Jews and non-Jews. If a non-Jew wants to live here, he must agree to be a foreign resident, be he Arab or not. He does not have and cannot have national rights in Israel. He can have civil rights, social rights, but he cannot be a citizen; he won’t have the right to vote. Again, whether he’s Arab or not."〕 The Kach party has been banned by Israel and labeled a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department.〔 ==Ideology== While it is difficult to define ''Kahanism'' in an official manner, the term has come to denote the controversial positions espoused by Rabbi Meir Kahane. Kahane's positions spanned a broad range of subjects. * Aliyah: Kahane believed that every Jew should live in Israel. * Anti-Semitism: Kahane believed that anti-Semitism should be fought immediately and by all means necessary. * Democracy: Kahane wrote that democracy was the best form of government for those who lacked a divine truth and a standard of good and evil. * Hate and Violence: Kahane believed that hate and violence were terrible, but terribly necessary at the right time and place. * Holocaust: Kahane felt that the Holocaust should be taught to youth with all the lessons implied, including the need to fight spiritual assimilation, to physically defend the Jewish people and the importance of leaving what he termed "the Exile". * Israel: Kahane proposed that the state of Israel enforce Jewish law, as codified by Maimonides, under which non-Jews wishing to dwell in Israel would have three options: remain as "resident strangers" with all rights but national ones, which would require non-Jews to accept resident-stranger status with all rights but political ones. Those who were unwilling to accept such a status would be required to leave the country with full compensation or, for those who refused even that, be forcefully removed. * Judaism: Kahane stressed that Jewish is beautiful. He felt that the Reform and Conservative movements have been a leading cause in assimilation due to their dropping of mass Revelation as the cornerstone of Jewish theology. * Love of Fellow Jews: Kahane emphasized the importance of loving Jews and the willingness to sacrifice for Jewish brothers. * Pride: Kahane felt that Jews should embrace pride in their heritage and tradition. * Respect: Kahane would state that there is nothing more important than respect and that only one who respects himself could end up respecting others. * Torah: Kahane wrote that every Jew should have enough Torah knowledge to be a qualified rabbi. * Unity: Kahane felt that Jewish unity was of utmost importance, and that everything should be done to avoid a civil war. The central claim of Kahanism is that the vast majority of the Arabs of Israel are now, and will continue to be, enemies of Jews and Israel itself, and that a Jewish theocratic state, governed by Halakha, absent of a voting non-Jewish population and including Israel, Palestine, areas of modern-day Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, should be created.〔: "The southern boundary goes up to El Arish, which takes in all of northern Sinai, including Yamit. To the east, the frontier runs along the western part of the East Bank of the Jordan river, hence part of what is now Jordan. ''Eretz Yisrael'' also includes part of Lebanon, and certain parts of Syria, and part of Iraq, all the way to the Tigris river."〕 According to Kahane, the term "Kahanism" is used primarily by those ignorant of Torah Judaism to discredit his ideology, which he asserted to be rooted in Halakha and the same as Torah Judaism.〔(): "I am committed to Judaism and real Jewish values, and every word in this book – disagreeable as it may be to most – is Judaism."〕 "Meir Kahane did not hate the Arabs – he just loved the Jews", said his widow Libby in her November 20, 2010 TV interview.〔(Special: Meir Kahane's widow regrets Rabin murder ) (Heb: מיוחד: אלמנתו של מאיר כהנא מסתייגת מרצח רבין), Channel 10 (Israel), November 20, 2010〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kahanism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
