Now why might so many people vote for "a real sicko" like Kahane ? Could it be because he says crazy things like "the Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish People" and "Arabs that cannot reconcile themselves to the fact that Israel is here to stay should strongly consider relocating"? Maybe it's his outrageous "racist" statements like "the Jews are G-d's Chosen People"? ari gross
