"Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has ordered Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz to order the immediate dismantling of Tapuah West and the building that awaits this evening’s dedication as the international center of the Yeshiva of the Jewish Idea. The building is being constructed in memory of Rabbi Meir Kahane and his son Binyamin Ze’ev as well as his daughter-in-law Talia. The three were killed by Arab terrorists in two separate attacks.

Sharon made his decision in response to demands from Justice Minister (Shinui) Yosef Lapid who stated if the building is permitted to go up; it will be used to promote the "fascist Torah teachings of Kahane."

1. Could somebody explain....

this to me...

"fascist Torah teachings of Kahane."

[Scurrilous]

2. I'm no expert...

... but I think Kahane often spoke of abolishing democracy and said that Israel should become a theocratic state ruled by a Sanhedrin (Jewish Supreme Court). I imagine some Israelis considered these views slightly fascist.
