This article has some bias IMHO:

"was judged by some to be an extreme right-wing Israeli settler"

his fathers party was marked a terrorist organisation by the Israeli government: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meir_Kahane "The Israeli government declared Kach and several other Kahanist groups to be terrorist organizations."

The above statement concludes that this is open to debate, but after taking "the position of leadership of some groups led by his father after his assassination" he put himself into the same position as his father.

[edit] ====================

"He was shot and killed in cold blood in an ambush." This drastic language tries to create emotions on readers and divert from the fact that "he advocated the transfer of all Arabs away from Israel."

A more factual approach would be nice, example taken from his fathers page (link above): "Kahane and his wive were murdered in 2000 when Palestinians opened fire on their car near the West Bank settlement of Ofra."

How about we just say "May he burn in hell" and leave it.

This article includes the following statement:

(Oddly, Arab and Jewish left-wing groups that advocate the forced transfer of Jews and only Jews en masse, referred to as "disengagement," are not regarded in a similar light.)

Is this appropriate commentary? Possible NPOV violation. Also, no reference is provided for the claim that IDF forces do not intervene in response to imminent terrorist threat.

This is pure propaganda."in the Israeli Yesha town of Kfar Tapuach in Samaria, (West Bank)" Besides this, he was not murdered, because he had no right to be there.

This cannot be meant seriously:"(Similar decisions have been made by the IDF as recently as the end of 2006, when the IDF was banned from opening fire on Kassam rocket launching teams in Gaza, even if the team is seen actively setting up and launching rockets.)"
