This is the second episode in a three-part series on religious Zionism. This episode examines the period between 1967 and 1993, a time when the religious Zionist movement experienced significant growth and institutionalization of the settler movement in the occupied territories, both ideologically and organizationally. In an engaging academic style, Dr. Muhannad Mustafa explores Israel's "victory" in the June War and its role in creating a conducive environment for settlers to occupy not only the West Bank and Gaza Strip but also to permeate Israeli society. The 1967 war marked a decisive shift to the right, leading to the infiltration of settlers into the army and state bureaucracy, with the Oslo Accords later posing a significant challenge to this movement.
