Classic 1980s debate moment.
A woman in hijab passionately challenges Rabbi Meir Kahane: âHow can you have no compassion for the Arab people?â invoking Hitler and Palestinian suffering.
Kahaneâs calm, piercing response cuts through:
âYou had an opportunity for your own state in 1948. The UN proposed partition plan which would have created a Palestine and an Israel. You went to war. You killed 6,000 of our people. â56, another war. â67, another war. â73, another war. I donât trust you. I donât believe you. When Iâm attacked and I win and you lose, and youâre the one that started it, learn one thing⊠you take the consequences of your actions.â
Raw, unfiltered truth about repeated rejection of peace and the cost of starting wars.
No slogans. Just history.
Powerful then. Powerful now.
