Jewish religious extremis in the face of the peace process and Oslo Accords

Summary/Abstract: This article analyses Jewish religious extremism in both individual and collective forms, and examinesthe attitudes, actions and rhetoric of radical individuals and groups in relation to the peace processand the Oslo Accords made with the Palestinians. The research problem concerns the impact of the activity of radical Jewish groups on the sociopolitical situation in Israel and the internal security of the country. The main hypothesis is that the actions of Jewish extremists, as both individuals and groups, are directed against the agreements with the Palestinian Liberation Organisation and are an attempt to undermine the peace process. The related research questions focus on two issues: the methods and forms of action used now and in the past by Jewish radicals, and the consequences of their actions. In this context, the evolution of radical Jewish movements is also examined. The research is conducted using behavioural, institutional-legal, and historical methods, and confirms that Jewish extremist activity isnot only a serious threat, but also a challenge to Israel’s national security.
