Politics
Many religious Zionists embrace right wing politics, especially the National Religious Party, but they also support the Likud and the National Union. There are also left-wing religious Zionists, such as by Rabbi Michael Melchior, whose views were represented by the Meimad party (which ran together with the Israeli Labor party). Many settlers in Judea and Samaria are religious Zionists, along with most of the settlers forcibly expelled from the Gaza Strip in August and September 2005.
