POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS NATIONALISM WITH RELIGIOUS MOTIVATION IN THE CONFLICT BETWEEN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE

Аннотация

Religion and governmental issues exist on a continuum with differing costs. Regardless of which domain holds power, the consequences for people's safety are the same. When religion is given complete authority, it is misused to legitimize violence. The sacred space of human history is denied the ability to thrive and sustain human communities if politics is completely empowered. However, regardless of whether the opportunity to control is absolute, neither side of the tension that exists in human society can completely resist the pull of power.‎
