note = "Funding Information: Gush Emunim (Block of the Faithful) emerged from within the younger generation of the National Religious Party in response to the first Israeli territorial withdrawals (in the Sinai and the Golan Heights) that came in the wake of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. The purpose of this new movement was to launch an aggressive settlement drive in the West Bank for the explicit purpose of preventing future territorial concessions in that region (Lustick 1988). Although its justification for the continued occupation of the West Bank was religious and messianic, Gush Emu-nim took great pride in presenting itself, in the words of one of its leaders, Rabbi Moshe Levinger, as {"}the direct and legitimate offspring of the pioneers of Zionism{"} (Yediot Aharonot, 18 June 1976). As a settlement movement, Gush Emunim was supported by non-religious groups and individuals, as well, precisely because it successfully claimed the mantle of the virtuous republican community that works selflessly for the common good (Shafir 1984). The movement also received considerable financial, military, and political support from the state. Thus, 51 percent of the settlers are currently employed by state agencies, including (Jewish) local governments in the West Bank, compared with 33 percent of the population in Israel proper (Haaretz Weekly Magazine, 15 December 1995).",
