Ultranationalist settlers affiliated with Meir Kahane's Kach movement and Gush Emunim have shot and killed civilians, destroyed Arab homes, olive trees, and automobiles, turned mace and attack dogs on stone throwers, and strafed and firebombed homes - often armed with government-issue weapons. The desire to push away doubt, to prove it's really happening, powered Gush Emunim and its push to settle in the territories. I was in Israel only two years after the birth of Gush Emunim - the Bloc of the Faithful, a mystical messianic movement. |
