The occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza strip throw into question Israel's zionist self-definition. The people there are for the most part not Jewish, yet Israel controls them and their territory. As long as that situation continues, Israel undermines its own legitimacy. This is why Israel is in the throes of an identity crisis.
