Baruch Kopel Goldstein was an American-Israeli physician and religious extremist who, in 1994, murdered 29 Palestinians in Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, an incident of Jewish terrorism. Goldstein was a supporter of Kach, a religious Zionist party that the United States, the European Union and other countries designate as a terrorist organization. Kach was banned less than a month after Goldstein's attacks on account of statements made in support of his actions.
