İsrail'de Yahudi Dini Terörizmi
Religious Jewish Terrorism in Israel

Summary/Abstract: When religious terrorism is in question, the first thing that comes to mind is “Islamic” terrorism. It is seen that this phenomenon, which is identified with Islam, is not specific to it but other religious communities also use and legitimize terrorist acts through religious discourse. One of the best examples of this is Religious Jewish Terrorism. Religious Jewish Terrorism, relatively similar to the thought of Islamic radical terrorist organizations, has been strengthened by the power of the right in Israel since 1977. Religious Jewish Terrorism, legitimizing the right to terrorism by referring to the Jewish religious law, Halakha, regards all kinds of acts of violence against Arabs as legitimate and it has a structure that aims at Mesianism and Jewish liberation. Within this framework, terrorist organizations against Palestinians have been carried out for a long time and various organizations have been established. However, there is not much information about these organizations and their actions in the literature. Religious Jewish Terrorism is either overshadowed by terrorist organizations that are effective in the establishment of the state or other religious terrorism movements. Therefore, this study deals with the problems such as the origins of religious terrorism, doctrine, legitimacy discourse, effectiveness, and man recruiting methods in Israel. Finally, it analyses Al-Halil atttack and the assassination of Rabin, which constituted the peak of Religious Jewish Terrorism.
