Evidence

Levy demonstrates how the rise in religious values in Israeli society was influenced by major developments related to the conflict with the Palestinians (the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, the First and Second Intifadas, etc.), how global changes and domestic liberalization changed the motivation for army service, and how those factors contributed to changing the face of the military, with its incorporation of the society’s religionization as an integral process. — Nadim N.
