The spirit of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane has returned to Israel's political scene, just in time for the elections.
The reappearance of the extreme right-wing icon, whose political party, Kach, was banned for terrorism shortly before his murder in 1990, comes in the form of a new play showing in Tel Aviv. The production also coincides with a decision barring a former member of Kach from running in the upcoming elections and increased concerns over the return of Kahane's violent message to mainstream society.
