Noam Federman

[10] After his fellow Hebronite settler Baruch Goldstein machine-gunned 29 Palestinians at prayer in the Cave of the Patriarchs Massacre, Federman paid tribute hailing him as a holy hero,[8] stating 'The act itself was one of greatness.

'[11] He openly expressed his satisfaction at the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, and was investigated for incitement against Binjamin Netanyahu after the latter signed accords with the Palestinians, whom he advocates expelling from both the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

[12] On 1 September 1998, Federman was charged on suspicion of having kicked a Hebronite, Mamoun Ja'abri, in the stomach and then spitting on him, and also of assault of a United States Embassy worker.

[13] On 24 May 2002, his brother, Eli Federman, while on duty as a security guard outside the Studio49 Tel Aviv nightclub, shot and killed a suicide car bomber just seconds before he could drive his vehicle into the crowded club, preventing many deaths.

'[14]In May 2002, after two men from the Bat Ayin settlement were discovered outside a girls' school in a Palestinian neighborhood on the Mount of Olives with a bomb timed to explode in the morning when students would be arriving, police investigators took six people into custody, including Federman, whom the Shin Bet regarded as "the brain behind this organization".

[18] Federman, addressing the ministry's comment to the press, replied that it was in pattern with the courts' and prosecutor's offices past restrictive behavior towards him that they would now seek to bar him from acquiring the title he worked for as a law student.

On the occasion of his son Oved's winning a prize for a film about Irgun militant Yehiel Dresner, who was executed by the British Mandate in 1947, Federman said that he is rearing his children on the ideals of the rightist underground movements of the past.
