The impact of the 1967 war on radicalization

The 1967 war had a significant impact on radicalization in Israel, following the global trend of left-wing and student radical movements in 1968. People in Israel were inspired by movements in France, Britain, and America, and local issues, such as the situation of the Palestinians, contributed to the radicalization.
