Motion of the Kach Faction, presented to express no confidence in the government due to its unwillingness to accept the idea of the transfer of Arabs from the Land of Israel (November 23, 1987).
MK. Rabbi Meir Kahane:
"I stand firm in my beliefs. The Kach movement stands firm in its beliefs. We have held these convictions steadfastly and will not let go. We have persevered [since 1972], acting consistently despite arrests, releases, slander, harassment, and threats. And we continued.
Today, everyone acknowledges the problem. What was once whispered is now openly discussed. This marks the triumph of the Kach movement, which remained resolute despite opposition. The public discourse has fundamentally changed. The same people who, not long ago, hesitated to utter terms like 'removal of Arabs' or 'transfer' are no longer afraid.
This change signifies a victory over falsehoods. The claim that removing Arabs constitutes racism has been rejected. Today, the majority of the public and government no longer oppose the removal of Arabs on moral grounds. The debate has shifted to practicality – whether it is possible to carry out such a measure.
I assert that it is possible. This represents a profound intellectual and spiritual transformation. This is the victory of the Kach movement."
Response to President Donald Trump's Transfer Initiative (January 2025)
Itamar Ben-Gvir:
"I welcome the initiative to transfer residents from Gaza. Over the past year, we have repeatedly advocated encouraging voluntary emigration. The Israeli government should act immediately to implement measures to facilitate this."
Bezalel Smotrich:
"The concept of assisting them in finding new places to begin a better life is a constructive idea. They could establish a new and prosperous future elsewhere. I will work with the Prime Minister and the Cabinet to ensure an operational plan is developed and implemented as soon as possible."
Twelfth Knesset: Bill by MK Michael Bar-Zohar [on behalf of the Alignment and Labor Party] – "Law Prohibiting Preaching to Transfer (5751-1991)"
Definition:"In this law, 'transfer' refers to the relocation or deportation of a group, population, or parts thereof to another country, based on race, color, or national-ethnic origin."
Bill: "Anyone who advocates for transfer or publishes material with the intention of inciting such actions is liable to a penalty of five years in prison."
Explanatory Notes:
"The path of racism, which had previously infiltrated the Knesset, was blocked by the law prohibiting incitement to racism. However, this pernicious ideology has resurfaced under the guise of the 'transfer concept.' This concept violates the values that Judaism and its teachings have imparted to the world, and which are reaffirmed in the Declaration of Independence. It is imperative to prevent such destructive rhetoric from gaining ground in Israeli society."
