NOTES TO CHAPTER ONE
1. The political influence of the movement on Israeli policies is variously
assessed. Professor Michael Brecher, for instance, estimated in 1972
that the movement was a ‘variable of some influence in Israel’s policy
on territorial and related issues’: Michael Brecher, The Foreign Policy
System of Israel (London, 1972), p. 156.
