Somehow I missed it when I first read The Ideology of Kach but Kahane specifically, favorably compares his program for the expulsion of Arabs from Israel to the ‘exchange of populations’ (his phrase) during the Second Greco-Turkish War, the partition of India, and the invasion of Cyprus. It's absolutely chilling.
Kahane thoroughly blends fascism and religious dominionism, deriving legitimacy at once from ‘the Jewish people’ but also very much from G-d and halakhic law. Vitalism, strength, collective will, ethnic purity, all sit alongside the idea that the creation of the State of Israel, the winning of the Six Day War, etc were G-d's will. To paraphrase Kahane, you need both weapons and prayer to win a war. The best comparison I can draw is probably William Dudley Pelley's ideology, simultaneously American fascist and Christian fundamentalist.
Big settler-colonial fascism moment where Kahane goes off on a tangent about the evils of permits and regulations and taxes, and how Israel needs free-market capitalism to flourish
@marinetti-dinner-party I believe you've mentioned that George Lincoln Rockwell's fascism was also very capitalist?
Kahane presents Israel as a Turner Diaries dystopia where Arabs can just murder Jews in the streets with impunity and no one can fight back because they'll be called racist.
A soldier can't even fire into a crowd these days without getting court-martialed! (Yes, he complains about this)
