My Take
Binyamin Ze'ev Kahane is a figure I find genuinely difficult to assess. Born in New York in 1966, he inherited the radical ideology of his father Meir Kahane, working as a rabbi and ultra-nationalist activist before being assassinated in 2000. I cannot endorse his extremist politics, and I won't pretend otherwise. Yet there is an undeniable weight to a life lived and lost for one's convictions, however contested. History isn't only made of admirable people, and I believe records like this exist to document the full, uncomfortable spectrum. So I note him here soberly, as a witness to a turbulent era rather than a hero.
