Product Description
by Ze'ev Shemer (Author)
Rabbi Meir Kahane's famous address to the National Press Club was given a short while after he received one seat in the Israeli Knesset in 1984. He gave a similar speech in New York the night he was murdered, with the added emphasis on the need of every Jew to return to his homeland. Note that this speech was given before the Oslo Accords were signed and before the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) received land and weapons and became known as the Palestinian Autonomy. It was before suicide-bombings, the Intifada (Arab uprising), and 15 years before the attacks of 9-11. His accurate predictions made him a controversial political figure. Two decades later, his proposed solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict seems more relevant than ever.
