Jewish fundamentalism

Jewish fundamentalism (Hebrew: פונדמנטליזם יהודי‎) may be used in reference to militant Religious Zionism or Haredi Judaism.^[1] The term fundamentalism was originally used in reference to Christian fundamentalism, but today, it is commonly used in reference to anti-modernist movements within different religion which are based on a literal interpretation of religious scriptures.^[2]

Overview[]

Like other fundamentalist movements, fundamentalist Judaism presents itself as the only valid form of the religion, the ethnic culture, and the truth. Fundamentalist movements are inherently political. Like other religious fundamentalists, Jewish fundamentalists promote control over women by men along with patriarchal family structures, two of their core beliefs.^[3]

Terrorism[]

The Hilltop Youth are a Jewish fundamentalist organization which has been linked to acts of terrorism and violence.^[4]

Study[]

Jewish fundamentalism was ignored for much of the 20th century, it was only when it began to have an effect on Israeli politics and international relations that scholars began to study it in earnest.^[5]
