New People's Army (NPA) -- Umbrella Organization

Operates under the New/National Democratic Front, the legal face of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army

Despite numerous setbacks, the CPP-NPA insurrection continues in the Philippines.  The KM is still widely popular amongst the youth population, and much of the CPP-NPA membership is culled from KM.  Although KM has not actively participated in terrorist violence since 1971, with its close ties to the CPP-NPA the group can be considered an open and active threat to the Filipino government.

Kach is a Jewish nationalist extremist group in Israel founded by the late Rabbi Meir Kahane.  In 1968, Rabbi Kahane founded the Jewish Defense League (JDL), a US organization dedicated to protecting American Jews.  The JDL became increasingly militant, espousing violence and vigilantism to curb anti-Semitism.  In 1969, Kahane emigrated to Israel, and by 1971, he had established an international office of the JDL in Israel.  The Kach movement (Hebrew for "Thus") emerged from this international JDL office.  <br /><br /><p>Rooted in extremist Jewish ideology, Kach sought to restore the Biblical land of Israel by annexing all the disputed territories of Israel and forcibly removing all Arabs.  Preaching the motto of "terror against terror," Kach openly espoused violence against Arabs and actively participated in anti-Arab activities in Israel.  As part of its extremist ideology, the group also espoused violence against the Israeli government.  In the mid 1970s, Kahane sought to transform Kach into an organized political party, running twice unsuccessfully for the Israeli Knesset.  In 1984, Kahane was successfully elected to the Knesset.  However, in 1988, Israeli law was amended to forbid racist groups from participating elections, effectively barring Kach from the political scene.
