Lieberman Was Involved in Radical Right Kach Movement
Source: Haaretz, Feb 04, 2009
Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman was once a member of the outlawed far-right party Kach, Haaretz learned yesterday.
Former Kach secretary general Yossi Dayan said he issued Lieberman, a prime ministerial candidate whose current electoral campaign against Israeli Arabs has provoked outrage, with a party membership card when he was still a new immigrant to Israel.
"I don't recall to what extent he was active in the movement, but if he denies [this], I am ready to testify in any forum that Lieberman was indeed a member for a short amount of time," said Dayan.
Kach was banned from the 1988 Knesset elections for inciting to racism.

It's ironic that a full-blown fascist like Lieberman is making comparisons with "Mein Kampf"...

Frankly, if the article was about killing Jews instead of Palestinians, it would be just as bad.
