He has been held in administrative detention several times.〔(Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. )〕〔(Israel insider )〕〔(JTF 17 December 2003 ) Federman Ends 54-Day Hunger Strike〕 Federman hosts a weekly Internet program called "Federman Without Censor". It can be heard on the Hebrew section of the Jewish Task Force's website. JTF funds his political activities in Israel.〔(JTF )〕 ==Biography== Noam Federman's father, David Federman (1909-1980), a Betar activist turned Lehi fighter〔Ronald L. Eisenberg, ( ''The Streets of Jerusalem: Who, What, why,'' ) Devora Publishing, 2006 p.106.〕 was arrested by the British during the League of Nations Mandate and deported to Ethiopia for his Jewish nationalist ideas, where he shared a cell with Yitzhak Shamir, a future prime minister. Federman was raised on stories of that period, and considers his own beliefs similar to those of Avraham Stern.〔 When he was asked if the similarity between the wartime groups activities and those of his own group was violence against Arabs, he replied, "hitting the enemy is not a bad thing.”〔 Federman is a radical settler activist associated with the outlawed terrorist Kach party, of which he was one time spokesman.〔〔Giuliano Della Pergola, ( ''Israele, un amore inquieto: discussioni sull'ebraismo contemporaneo,'' ) Rubbettino Editore, 2003 p.84.〕 A few hours after news that the Kach leaderMeir Kahane's assassination reached Israel, two elderly Palestinians, Mohammed Ali (73) and Mariam Suleiman Hassan (71) were gunned down in an incident ascribed to Kach militants. Federman was quoted as saying that the slayings had been committed as revenge by Kahane supporters and more violence was in the pipeline..〔Michael Kelly('Trotsky kin is arrested in deaths on West Bank,' ) Baltimore Sun 10 November, 1990〕 After his fellow Hebronite settler Baruch Goldstein machine-gunned 29 Palestinians at prayer in the Cave of the Patriarchs Massacre, Federman paid tribute hailing him as a holy hero,〔Massimo Nava, (''Vittime: Storie di guerra sul fronte della pace,'' ) Fazi Editore 2005 p.273: 'definiva un heroe santo il dottor Goldstein.' 〕stating 'The act itself was one of greatness. It was a great act of sanctifying the Name (God).'〔Scott Kraft, ('Extremists Pay Tribute to Killer of 48 at Funeral,' ) Los Angeles Times, 28 February, 1994.〕 He openly expressed his satisfaction at the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, and was investigated for incitement against Binjamin Netanyahu after the latter signed accords with the Palestinians, whom he advocates expelling from both the West Bank and Gaza Strip.〔 On 1 September 1998 Federman was charged on suspicion of having kicked a Hebronite, Mamoun Ja'abri, in the stomach and then spitting on him, and also of assault of a United States Embassy worker. 〔Amy Klein, (' Federman charged with attempted assaults,' ) Jerusalem Post 2 September 1998.〕 In May 2002, after 2 men from the Bat Ayin settlement were discovered outside a girls' school in a Palestinian neighbourhood on the Mount of Olives with a bomb timed to explode in the morning whens students would be arriving, police investigators took 6 people into custody, including Federman, whom the Shin Bet regarded as "the brain behind this organization."〔John Kifner, ('Israel Arrests Settlers It Says Tried to Bomb Palestinians,' ) New York Times 19 May, 2002〕 he was subsequently accused of having provided the explosives to be used to blow up the girls school and put under house arrest for over half a year.〔 ('Settlers charged with bomb plot,' ) BBC 28 May 2002.〕 All charges were later dropped, Federman was acquitted and he successfully sued the state for false arrest. He was in the news recently after his home and farm, which he had built without a building permit, near Kiryat Arba and Hebron was torn down in the middle of the night. In November 2005, the Israeli Ministry of Justice expressed its intention to review Federman's application to be licensed as an attorney, claiming that a person with a past as rich with disturbing the peace as his may not be eligible for a license. Federman, addressing the ministry's comment to the press, replied that it was in pattern with the courts' and prosecutor's offices past restrictive behavior towards him that they would now seek to bar him from acquiring the title he worked for as a law student. In 2008 Federman was indicted for assaulting a policeman , but was acquitted in 2010 after prosecutors failed to show up for the trial, due to a prosecutors' strike.〔Nir Hasson ('No Prosecutor? Judge Drops Case Against Noam Federman,' ) Haaretz 24 December, 2010〕 In 2011, he was arrested by police on suspicion, after he was found to have a kid in his possession, that he intended to sacrifice the animal for Passover on the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif. 〔Jonah Mandel, ( 'Noam Federman stopped at Temple Mount with kid in tow,' ) Jerusalem Post 18 April 2011.〕 Federman is married to Elisheva,〔Nir Hasson, ('Wife of right-wing activist charged with racist incitement, )' Haaretz 30 October 2006 〕 the daughter of David Ramati.〔Dan Perry, Alfred Ironside, ( ''Israel and the Quest for Permanence,'' ) McFarland 2012 p.39. 〕 They have 9 children. On the occasion of his son Oved's winning a prize for a film about Irgun militant Yehiel Dresner, whom the British Mandatory authorities executed in 1947, Federman said that he is rearing his children on the ideals of the rightest underground movements of the past.〔Chaim Levinson, ('Among Settlers, Pre-State Revisionist Movements Enjoy a Renaissance,' ) The Forward/Haaretz 29 July, 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「Noam Federman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
