One of those factions is Otzma Yehudit, or Jewish Power, made up of followers of the late Meir Kahane, an ultranationalist American Israeli rabbi.

Ich hatte hier vor einer Weile über den Wikipedia-Autor „Feliks“ berichtet,
und den Konflikt zwischen ihm und einigen Aktivisten, die ihm vorwerfen, aus politischer und persönlicher Motivation heraus Artikel über andere Menschen und Organisationen zu manipulieren und beispielsweise Artikel über Israel zu schönen. Daher haben sie seinen Realnamen recherchiert und veröffentlicht. Dagegen hatte Feliks vor dem Landgericht Hamburg eine Einstweilige Verfügung erwirkt, wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe, und gegen die haben sich die Aktivisten gewehrt und konnten sich wohl größtenteils durchsetzen. Leider gibt es dazu noch keine verlinkbare Pressemitteilung, aber die soll noch kommen.
