    Didn't one of the Kahanist litterally murder the israeli president who negotiated the Oslo Accords? Seems weird to allow that group to continue existing, just from a self-preservation standpoint.

      In the 1990s, he was active in protests against the Oslo Accords. In 1995, Ben-Gvir came to public attention for the first time, when he appeared on television brandishing a Cadillac hood ornament that had been stolen from Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's car, and declared: "We got to his car, and we'll get to him too." Several weeks later, Rabin was assassinated by right-wing extremist Yigal Amir.
