Abstract: In late 1993 Israel and what is now recognised as Palestine came to a peace agreement, the Oslo Accords, over the Palestinian self-governance of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In response to this carving up of the perceived Zionist holy land, religious groups and individuals reacted violently and aggressively to to the Accords and changed the political agenda in Israel over the following years. This paper explores the impact and cause of this explosion of violence and unrest.
