Abstract
Israel's unilateral retreat from South Lebanon on May 23-24, 2000, represents a unique case of security policymaking in Israeli history. For the first and only time in its history, an ex-parliamentary grassroots movement played a key role in reshaping the national security agenda in defiance of the state's potent military establishment, despite its practical monopoly on shaping the national security policy. Moreover, the policy change was effected within a relatively short time and by a movement whose nucleus of activists hardly exceeded a few hundreds.1.
