'Motti Inbari's book is an insightful introduction into Messianic Religious Zionists' (MRZ) evolving worldviews as they relate to political negotiations over land compromises. Inbari is particularly insightful in his discussion of the changes in approach since the Oslo period in the 1990s ... [he] effectively synthesizes significant secondary sources with available primary sources to provide a stimulating and much-needed analysis of the changing attitudes of MRZ rabbis and followers toward violent responses to territorial compromises.' H-Judaic 'An extremely valuable book that should be read by anyone interested in the role of religious Zionism in Israel.' Politics, Religion and Ideology

H-Judaic 'An extremely valuable book that should be read by anyone interested in the role of religious Zionism in Israel.' Politics, Religion and Ideology The book deals with a fascinating chapter in modern Judaism and in the history of Israel and the modern Middle East. Inbari handles this potentially volatile topic masterfully. He provides excellent insights and maintains an even and balanced scholarly account at all times. I highly recommend it. Yaakov Ariel, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill In his detailed and systematic study, Motti Inbari uses the psychological mechanism of cognitive dissonance to explain how religious leaders try to comprehend an ever-changing world. With mastery of subject matter, detailed analysis, and clear writing, Inbari enables the reader to make sense of a variety of complex intellectual phenomena. This book should attract scholars interested the interaction between modern religion and politics, the path religious Zionism is headed, and the meaning of compromise for the West Bank Jewish settlers. It should also give pause for thought for those seeking a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
