Baruch Marzel Biography

Baruch Marzel is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on April 23, 1959 in Boston, Israel. Marzel was born in the year 1959 Boston, Massachusetts, and moved from Massachusetts to Israel along with the rest of his family at six weeks old. They settled at the Jerusalem’s Bayit Vegan neighbourhood. While Baruch’s dad Shlomo was a renowned educator who didn’t have much to do politically, Baruch joined Kahane’s Jewish Defense League when he was 13 years old. Baruch was forced to give up all of his US nationality when he ran for Knesset. He was in the IDF Armored Corps and fought in the 1982 Lebanon War, participating in battles along the highway between Beirut and Damascus and later served within the United States as a representative for Sar-El. Marzel along with his partner Sarah have nine children.

in 2003 Marzel was a member of Herut along with Paul Eidelberg’s Yamin Yisrael party to become the second candidate on the party’s list which was a step up from Michael Kleiner, in the effort to join in the 16th Knesset session. The campaign ads featured him in a prominent position with the classic Hebrew phrase “Hazak U’Baruch” (literally, blessed and strong, Hebrew: Hzk vbrvKH ) A reference to Marzel’s birth name. Herut barely did not get the minimum votes needed to get into the Knesset.

Marzel is seen as a central figure in the anti-assimilation Lehava group, along with Rabbi Ben-Zion Gopstein. In 2006, Marzel sent an open letter to Linor Abargil, asking her not to marry non-Jewish Lithuanian NBA player Šarūnas Jasikevičius. A similar open letter was addressed in March 2010 to Israeli model Bar Refaeli, urging her not to marry her non-Jewish boyfriend at that time, American actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Representing the Lehava organization, Marzel tried to convince Refaeli that her ancestors would have opposed such a marriage. In 2013, he was among 50 activists who held an anti- assimilation protest at a wedding between an Arab man and a Jewish woman. In July 2014, Facebook removed Marzel’s page after readers complained about incitement.

Marzel has in the past advocated violence towards homosexuals in Israel, calling for a religious war against them during a radio interview. In 2006, in the days leading up to a planned gay pride parade in Jerusalem, Marzel reportedly stated that, “The stabbing incident during last year’s parade will seem minor in comparison with what is anticipated this year. We have to declare a holy war.” Marzel also was involved in the controversial March 2009 flag parade through Umm al-Fahm. He led protests against the eighth Jerusalem Gay Pride parade of 2010, opining that “[homosexuality] is a disease of choice, and a man can change his taste and his ways. When someone has AIDS, they tell them not to infect others, so why are these people allowed to march here in Jerusalem and infect us with their disease?”

Baruch Marzel was initially detained by the police when he was 14 years old. The first time he was convicted came three years after. As per a 2003 story published in the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, “Marzel had acquired a police record of some 40 files before he was 30”. The report continues to describe his criminal history that includes assaults on Palestinians (one that resulted in an imprisonment sentence suspended for 12 months) as well as the record of an Israeli police officer and one of the police officers, an Israeli left-wing activist, as well as an Israeli journalist Uri Avnery.
