"No one in Israel is neutral about Gush Emunim. The movement, composed largely of younger people linked to the National Religious Party, has been variously described as a threat to democracy or as the true bearer of Zionist tradition. Its thrust is for Jewish settlement, principally in the West Bank. Its driving idea is the commitment to Eretz Yisrael, conceived not merely as a place, but as a redemptive ideal. A focus of controversy and strong opinions, Gush Emunim, despite its limited numbers, has become an important element in Israel's contemporary political scene. Moshe Kohn's study of the movement, originally printed in The Jerusalem Post and now collected here, is the first attempt to probe Gush Emunim in depth." - Front endpaper.
