Jewish fundamentalism

Jewish fundamentalism (Hebrew: פונדמנטליזם יהודי‎) may refer to militant Religious Zionism or Haredi Judaism.[1] The term "fundamentalism" was originally used in reference to Christian fundamentalism, but today commonly refers to the anti-modernist movements of any religion based on literal interpretation of religious scriptures.[2]
