Most of the information in this article comes from the two listed sources at the bottom. I'm afraid that, while I can find particular references in these books to things that I wrote, I cannot chase sources like I normally would, as the best sources are almost entirely written in Hebrew.

Why did I write this article? It's a topic I'm interested in in passing, but mainly because somebody started an article on Jewish fundamentalism, and I've noticed that broad topics tend to be very bad until we get the facts written down in specific topics that can be necessarily more fact-based.

I changed the intro by removing the note "Today, however, no one uses the term Gush Emunim anymore ...".

The term is still in use. Abdul Sattar Qassem, Professor of Political Science at the Najah University in Nablus is quoted by Al Jazeera using the term in an article on their website titled, "Israel to US: Now for Iran" by Khalid Amayreh Sunday 29 August 2004, 14:00 Makka Time, 11:00 GMT. A link to the article is here. Aug 30, 2004

I've read that one of the leading rabbis of this movement has said that it is not a crime or immoral to kill an arab. shouldn't this be included in the article? i think it is very significant since recent polls indicate that at least half of the people in Israel agree with that.

Wouldn't it be of importance to include the fact that GE-leaders stated that non-Jews aren't human at all?
