{{Main|Religious Zionism}}
[[Religious Zionism]] is an ideology that combines [[Zionism]] and [[Orthodox Judaism]]. It primarily began with the teachings of Rabbi [[Abraham Isaac Kook]] (1865–1935), who saw Zionism as a part of a divine scheme to [[Gathering of Israel|return Jews to their ancestral homeland]] and eventually bring about the coming of the [[Messiah#Judaism|Messiah]]. Religious Zionism gained a new momentum after the [[Six-Day War]] in 1967, when Israel conquered the [[West Bank]], a territory which is rich in [[Historicity of the Bible|Biblical history]]. The [[Gush Emunim]] movement took off under the leadership of [[Zvi Yehuda Kook]] and it also spearheaded the proliferation of [[Israeli settlements]] in the newly conquered territory.

Religious Zionism is still a relatively broad term which encompasses both moderate and extremist elements. The extremist elements are frequently associated with [[anti-Arab racism]], [[anti-Palestinianism]] and [[violence]], frequently, they are associated with ideological inspiration from [[Kahanism]]. They have also been associated with [[Jewish extremist terrorism|terrorism]] against [[Palestinians]] and in some cases, they have also been associated with terrorism against the [[Israel Defense Forces]]. The [[Hilltop Youth]] movement is especially associated with the most extreme forms of Religious Zionism.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Goldman |first1=Paul |title='Fundamentalist' Jewish Terror a Growing Threat to Israel: Experts |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/fundamentalist-jewish-terror-growing-threat-israel-experts-n480176 |website=www.nbcnews.com |date=4 January 2016 |publisher=NBC News |access-date=13 August 2021}}</ref>
