In this controversial work, acclaimed Israeli writer and human
rights campaigner Israel Shahak, and American scholar Norton
Mezvinsky, examine the history and consequences of Jewish
fundamentalism in Israel. This new edition, fully updated
throughout with new chapters and a new introduction, is aimed at
anyone who wants a full understanding of the way religious
extremism has affected the political development of the modern
Israeli state. Jewish fundamentalism in Israel, as shown in the
activities of religious settlers, is of great political importance.
The authors trace its history and development, examining the
various different strains, and identify the messianic tendency as
the most dangerous. Shahak and Mezvinsky place the assassination of
Prime Minister Rabin in the context of what the authors see as a
tradition of punishments and killings of those Jews perceived to be
heretics. The authors argue that Jewish fundamentalism is
essentially hostile to democracy because it opposes equality for
all citizens and therefore it poses a considerable threat to
democracy in Israel.
