Summary/Abstract: The Labor Movement which ruled over the Jewish community of Palestine since the 1920s, controlled Israeli governments by parties belonging to this movement culminating in the Labor Party. State and society were designed by the tradition of socialist Zionist Labor Party which actually carried the political agenda of the secular Ashkenazi Jews who created a new Jewish identity in Palestine when they moved there. However, the new reality created by the results of the 1967 War (Six-Day War), has established a proper political ground for the Revisionist Movement to overthrow the Labor Party which had in fact systematically excluded revisionists from the political sphere. On the one hand, with the encouragement of Likud and the efforts of religious Zionist parties, the transformation that took place in 1977, caused Israeli society to become more conservative; on the other hand, this transformation has created a political conjuncture that any topic regarding politics is started to be perceived as a problem of national security while two state solution is getting more and more unattainable.
