Kahanism and the Algorithmic Interpretation of History

Neil Bar · Routledge, 2026 · English

Routledge Studies in Fascism and the Far Right

This book examines how Meir Kahane turned Jewish history into a program for radical political action. It reconstructs his conviction that separation between Jews and non-Jews brings redemption, while coexistence leads to catastrophe. Reading his uses of antiquity and the Holocaust together, it explains the historical logic behind his demands for exclusion and national rebirth, and traces the adaptation of Kahanism in contemporary Israeli politics.
