Israel's use of the Bible to legitimate the establishment of Israeli settlements in the West Bank & Gaza is questioned. Whereas Moses is perceived as embodying a negative theological position that legitimated the authority of biblical Jewish leaders, the biblical figure Korah is viewed as personifying a gnostic perspective toward human-oriented government. Several episodes from the Torah that exemplify this tension between gnosticism & negative theology are subsequently analyzed including humankind's expulsion from the Garden of Eden, the construction of the Tower of Babel, the controversy surrounding the creation of the Golden Calf, & the appearance of the Burning Bush. It is argued that interpretation of these events provides ambiguous legitimacy for Israeli settlements; for example, despite God's bestowal of certain lands to the biblical Jews, it is noted that not placing one's life in mortal danger was a primary imperative among the rabbinical leaders. It is concluded that the Torah's advocacy of majority rule entails the protection of the rights of minority groups. J. W. Parker
