Baruch Meir Marzel (born April 23, 1959, in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American-born Israeli far-right politician and activist known for his Kahanist ideology. Emigrating to Israel at six weeks old, he was raised in Jerusalem's Bayit Vegan neighborhood. He is a former Kach party member who served as Rabbi Meir Kahane's right-hand man and spokesman for the Kach organization for a decade until Kahane's assassination in 1990. He later became a leader of the Kahane Chai movement, a successor to the banned Kach party. Marzel has held leadership roles in several extremist political groups, including as head of the Jewish National Front party and former member of Otzma Yehudit. He is known for leading anti-Arab campaigns, organizing protests, promoting Jewish separatism, and advocating for policies that include ethnic cleansing and restrictions on Palestinian rights. He resides in the Jewish enclave of Tel Rumeida in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron with his wife and nine children. His activities have included confronting Palestinians at sites like the Ibrahimi Mosque and spearheading settlement expansion efforts. Marzel has run for political office multiple times on platforms emphasizing Jewish supremacy and maintains close ties with other far-right figures like Bentzi Gopstein. He has been criticized internationally for inciting violence against Palestinians while evading accountability under Israel's legal system.
