Paramilitary The Jewish Defense League (JDL) is a New York-based extreme right-wing organization associated with Meir Kahane.[^1]

The Jewish Defense League (JDL) is a New York City-based extreme right-wing organization associated with Meir Kahane.1

The JDL was implicated in the 1969 arson attack on the El Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, carried out by Michael Dennis Rohan. Michael Dennis Rohan claimed to have coordinated the deed with the JDL. Israel interrogators, including those who questioned Ari Ben-Menashe, emphasized the importance of not revealing the JDL's involvement to avoid any "traces of Jewish hands" in the incident.1
