From the Paper:

"This religious and governmental study will focus on recent articles that portray Israel as a theocratic government caught within the new terrorism that has increased in the Middle East. With the ongoing War on Terror and War in Iraq in the United States, the Israeli government has taken extreme measures to silence Arab terrorism in the Palestine. By analyzing the political instances that have caused such drastic military measures on the part of Israel, we can understand the intense religious positions of government policy in the Age of Terrorism. The religious background of Israel as a "nation state" goes back to the influence of the Torah, and the theocratic tendencies of this country have not left the age-old struggle for Jewish religion in governmental policy."
