Certainly, the failure of the peace process in the 1990’s, followed by the coming of the second Intifada, appears to have encouraged the radicalization of Israel’s extremes while discouraging moderates. And the revival of religious parties – in a country created by avowed secularists – opened the way for a more politically powerful but also more nationalistic and intolerant setting.
当然，1990年代和平进程的失败，以及随后发生的第二次占领区巴勒斯坦人暴动似乎都加剧了以色列内部激进派的极端程度并打击了温和派。而在一个由世俗主义者创建的国家里，宗教党派的复兴也为一个政治上更加强大，但更民族主义，更狭隘的政治现状埋下了伏笔。
