Gush Emunim, The True Face of Zionism
Danny Rubinstein

An investigation by Israeli journalist Danny Rubinstein into Gush Emunim, the settler movement that drove Jewish settlement of the West Bank from the 1970s onward. Rubinstein examines the religious ideology, political connections, and long-term vision of the settler leadership.
Why it was banned
Reported by B'Tselem as a book prohibited by the IDF in the West Bank.
Censorship history
Reported by B'Tselem as prohibited by the IDF in the West Bank. The IDF's prohibition of a critical examination of its own settler movement — by an Israeli journalist — illustrates the internal contradictions of occupation-era censorship: even Israeli critics of settlement policy had their books suppressed in the occupied territories.
