Abstract
The case of Israel may serve as an example of the contention that conflict and war bring about creation, modification and change, transformation or destruction of social formations. It seems probable that the longer lasting, the more comprehensive and intensive the conflict, the more salient will be its effects upon the social structure. Israel is thus an example, one of a few in modern history, of a permanent war society.
