In the context of religious motivated terrorism, the practices of Israel against palestinians

This thesis aims to prove that religious terrorism is not peculiar to any religion. To show this, the thesis explored religious groups who consider themselves as the representatives of Judaism as well as these groups' terror activities. Therefore the subject of this study is to examine religiously motivated terrorist activities in Israel and the occupied territories against Palestinians. There is limited information in the academic literature about these organizations. There is a connection between their beliefs and their terrorist activities. Thus, this study intends to examine the origins of Israel's religious-based terrorist activities, how they legitimize their terror activities in Israel and the occupied territories against the Palestinians.
