Revisionist Zionism, Religious Zionism, and The Israel Right
The more nationalistic faction of Zionism, Revisionist Zionism, had some right-wing elements. One of their ideologues, Abba Ahimeir, was influenced by Oswald Spengler. This relates to forms of right-wing politics in Israel that are nationalistic and in some cases expansionist. Yisrael Beiteinu may contain influences from this stream of thought.
Other right-wing parties in Israel have a more religious orientation and are influenced by forms of Religious Zionism. The Jewish National Front states that the "Torah of Israel is the primary source of human morality" although it states openness to secular members. In addition the National Union (Israel) coalition contains Renewed Religious National Zionist Party.
Among the more militant groups Kach and Kahane Chai had some supporters outside Israel, but has since been banned.
