Jewish terrorism is terrorism perpetrated by a person or group whose motivations and aims have a predominant Jewish character or influence.

Organizations

There are currently no known active Jewish terrorist groups. The following groups were all started or branched off from those started by Meir Kahane in the 1970's. Kahanist groups are banned in Israel:

• Jewish Defense League: A "right-wing terrorist group" according to the FBI. Although several members have been charged or convicted with offenses related to the handling of explosives, the group is not thought to have any current connection to terrorism. .
• Kach and Kahane Chai: (defunct) Israel and United States. Eden Natan-Zada was involved with Kahanism before killing 3 people in Shefa-'Amr, an act described by then prime minister Ariel Sharon as "a reprehensible act by a bloodthirsty Jewish terrorist".
• Gush Emunim Underground: (1979-1984) Sometimes called the (Jewish Terror Organization), formed by prominent members of Gush Emunim.
