The opening as it read in 2005
Noam Federman is a right-wing Jewish dissident in Israel . He lives in Hebron and is the spiritual leader of The Hilltop Youth , a right-wing Jewish youth movement which seizes strategic hilltops throughout Judea and Samaria / the West Bank . He is a former Kach member. Federman has been charged on numerous occasions of involvement in various illegal activities, including the planning of terror attacks on Palestinian civilians. However, he has thus far always been acquitted. He has also spent periods under administrative detention, though seemingly without any specific charges being made against him. His treatment by the Israeli government has turned into something of a cause célèbre for the Israeli far right. As of January, 2005, he is currently under administrative house arrest.1 Noam Federman hosts a weekly Internet program called "Federman Without Censor" which can be heard on the Hebrew section of the Jewish Task Force 's website. JTF funds his political and humanitarian activities in Israel. They also finance the political activities of Federman's ally, Baruch Marzel , the leader of the Chayil Party .2
