Terror Against Terror

Terror Against Terror (Hebrew: Terror Neged Terror, "TNT") was a radical Jewish militant organization active in Israel that openly espoused the ideology of perpetrating terrorism and committed several violent attacks directed at Palestinians, ranging from vandalism to mass shooting[1] to murder.[2] The group consisted of many Jewish-American settlers living in Hebron who considered themselves acolytes of Rabbi Meir Kahane,[1] leader of the Kach organization which had established the group.[2] Kahane had publicly advocated since 1974 that Arab terrorism should be met with Jewish terrorism, hence TNT.[3][4] The group began committing violent acts against Arabs in 1975.[2]
