Baruch Marzel, an Israeli far-right political activist and former spokesman for Meir Kahane's Kach organization.

The word appears nowhere in the article today. A reader today does not learn that Kach and Kahane Chai were designated terrorist organizations and outlawed in 1994.

The opening as it read in 2005
Baruch Marzel is a right-wing Israeli settler from Hebron . He was a member of Meir Kahane 's Kach , which was disqualified for racism by the Israeli Supreme Court in 1988. Following Kahane's assassination in 1990, he moved to lead Kach , one of the the splinter groups from the original Kach (the other splinter group, Kahane Chai , was led by Kahane's son Binyamin Ze'ev Kahane ). Both groups were designated terrorist and outlawed in 1994 following the mass killings of 29 Palestinians in the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron by Baruch Goldstein on Purim . In 2003 Marzel joined Herut as Michael Kleiner 's second and tried to run for a Knesset seat. The election ads featured him prominently with the slogan strong and blessed ( Hebrew : חזק וברוך, Hazak U'Varuch, a pun on Marzel's name). Herut failed to enter the Knesset. In 2004 he founded the Chayil Party and he intends to head its Knesset list in the next national elections. Baruch Marzel and his ally, Noam Federman , are supported financially by the Jewish Task Force . v t e1
