Abstract

The Right's Greater Israel: No Land, No Peace For Palestinians
Friedman, R.I. | April 23, 1988 issue

add to cart   close window

The Palestinian uprising that has rocked the Jewish state in recent months has, ironically, given a major political boost to Israel's radical right-a powerful religious-nationalist movement whose goal is to annex the occupied territories and expel Israel's Arabs. Fueled by a blend of biblical prophecy and Realpolitik, the radical right contends that God gave the land of Israel, which includes the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, to the Jewish people. The Palestinians are considered "resident strangers" or descendants of the Amalek, the biblical tribe destroyed by the ancient Hebrews. This hardline view found that the Arab riots have strengthened the radical right.
