Kurdish Jewish immigrant who was active in the
Irgun as a teenager and was a homemaker. His family was secular, but as a teenager, he adopted religious and radical right-wing views during the
First Intifada. He first joined a right-wing youth movement affiliated with
Moledet, a party which advocated the expulsion of Arabs out of Israel, and then joined the youth movement of the even more radical
Kach and Kahane Chai party, which was designated as a terrorist organization and outlawed by the Israeli government.
