Editing Kahanism (section)

Itamar Ben-Gvir is an Israeli far-right politician, lawyer, and leader of the [[File:OtzmaYehudit.png]] Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party as well as being the Israeli National Minsiter of Security under [[File:Netanyahu.png]] Netanyahu's government. Born in 1976 in Jerusalem, Ben-Gvir is a prominent disciple of the late extremist Rabbi [[File:Kahan.png]] Meir Kahane and his ideology of Kahanism, which advocates for a Jewish-dominated state and the expulsion of Arabs deemed "disloyal" to Israel. 

Ben-Gvir gained notoriety as a lawyer representing radical Jewish activists, including individuals accused of violence and hate crimes. His political career has been marked by controversy due to his inflammatory rhetoric and actions. Once marginalized, Ben-Gvir successfully mainstreamed his political movement, capitalizing on Israel's rightward political shift over the last few decades. His party Otzma Yehudit aligns with Religious Zionism and holds significant influence in Israel's current political landscape.

Despite once displaying pictures of [[File:Baruch Goldstein.png]] Baruch Goldstein (the perpetrator of the 1994 Hebron massacre), Ben-Gvir has attempted to moderate his image to appeal to a broader electorate. Nevertheless, he continues to promote policies that target Arab citizens and Palestinians, contributing to his controversial status both domestically and internationally. His rise reflects a significant transformation in Israeli politics, where far-right ideologies have gained wider acceptance in mainstream discourse.
