I have never seen the exact number of members and I don't think anyone really knows but Kahane garnered over 26k votes in one election [a big number in a small country] and was elected to the Knesset.

The terrorist org was small. It was also a political party. Not everyone that voted for the party was a terrorist just like not everyone that supports Hammas or the PLO is a terrorist.

Kahane supported terrorism as early as the early '70s. It wasn't until 1994 that Israel got around to banning them.

Because it wasn't until 1994 that they committed a large terrorist act. If a few Democrats or Republicans committed a couple of murders for political reasons the US wouldn't ban them. (If we can ban political parties in the US) or put them on a list of terrorist groups. But if the US parties planned and organized the killings of dozens then they might be considered terrorist orgs, rather then organizations that have a few murderers in them.
