ITEM OVERVIEW
A detailed and sober look at the disturbing rise in influence of the ultraconservative fundamentalist parties in Israel, which the authors argue have flowered in the settlements in the Occupied Territories. Now in a fully updated edition, with new chapters and a new introduction by Norton Mezvinsky, it is essential reading for anyone who wants a full understanding of the way religious extremism has affected the political development of the modern Israeli State.
