  • 2019 Israeli General Elections Brief Arab Parties Finalize Lists Anti-Arab Discourse in Mainstream Campaigns
    Inter-Agency Task Force on Israeli Arab Issues 2019 Israeli General Elections Brief Arab Parties Finalize Lists Anti-Arab Discourse in Mainstream Campaigns March 1, 2019 The run-up to Israel’s national elections, scheduled for April 9, has triggered changes to the Arab political landscape, accompanied by an intense discourse regarding Arab political participation and representation, both within Arab society and in wider Israeli society. Following a period of negotiations ahead of a February 21 deadline to submit party lists to the National Elections Committee, the Joint List—while not fully dismantled as some expected— broke into two separate alliances: Hadash-Ta’al headed by MKs Ayman Odeh and Dr. Ahmed Tibi, and Ra’am-Balad headed by Dr. Mansur Abbas and Dr. Mtanes Shehadeh.1 The Joint List combined—if uncomfortably—different ideological as well as pragmatic aims, and its unity was a significant achievement of Arab leadership, prompted to a large extent by the previous government's decision to raise the threshold required to attain Knesset representation from 2 to 3.25 percent of the vote. This alliance inspired higher voter participation rates and achieved an unprecedented level of Arab Knesset representation in the 2015 general elections, as the third-largest party with 13 seats. Despite its ideological diversity and internal struggles for power, its dissolution has generated disappointment in the Arab public and cynicism about Arab political participation in Israel. On the other hand, there is also hope that the new parties may be able to be more effective than the single list. The two new alliances are each expected to attain between 4-6 seats according to current polls.

  • Chronologie 2012
    www.reiner-bernstein.de 1 – Chronologie 2012 Chronologie 2012 Dezember 2012 31.12.2012: Nach zweijähriger Mitgliedschaft scheidet die Bundesrepublik Deutschland heute als nicht-ständiges Mitglied aus dem UN- Sicherheitsrat aus. Nach einem Bericht von „Haaretz”, der sich auf Angaben des Militärs stützt, haben 21 Soldaten im Jahr 2011 Selbstmord begangen – mehr als durch Krankheit, Verkehrsunfälle, in Ausübung ihrer militärischen Ausgaben oder anderweitig ums Leben kamen. Das „Greenpeace Journal” übernimmt einen Bericht des Zentralen Palästinensischen Statistikbüros, wonach zu Beginn des Jahres 2016 im Gebiet zwischen Mittelmeer und Jordan jeweils 6,5 Millionen Juden und Araber leben werden. Bis 2020 werde sich die Zahl der Araber auf 7,2 und die Zahl der Juden auf 6,9 Millionen erhöhen. Ende 2012 wohnen in Israel nach offiziellen Angaben 7,98 Millionen Menschen, davon 75,4 Prozent Juden, 20 Prozent Araber und 4 Prozent „andere“. In seiner wöchentlichen Kolumne in der „Jerusalem Post“ zur Regelung des israelisch-palästinensischen Konflikts beschränkt sich der allseits geschätzte Autor Gershon Baskin vorrangig auf Appelle an die Autonomiebehörde, auf die israelische Öffentlichkeit zuzugehen und sie zu überzeugen, dass ihr Präsident Machmud Abbas der Partner Israels für den Frieden sei, alle Formen der öffentlichen Aufstachelung tatkräftig zu unterbinden, die israelischen Sicherheitsbedürfnisse ernst zu nehmen, die jüdischen heiligen Plätze zu respektieren und zu erklären, dass Juden auch im palästinensischen Staat leben www.reiner-bernstein.de 2 – Chronologie 2012 könnten. An den eigenen Regierungschef gerichtet, beginnt Baskins Beitrag mit dem erstaunlichen Satz: „Es gibt keine bessere Person, Israel zum Frieden zu führen, als Ministerpräsident Benjamin Netanjahu.“ Das Bekenntnis zu zwei Staaten verzichtet auf jegliche Benennung der schweren Hindernisse auf dem Weg zu diesem Ziel 1.

  • LA EVOLUCIÓN DEL SIONISMO REVISIONISTA EN EL LIKUD DURANTE EL PLAN DE DESCONEXIÓN La Visión Divergente De Sharón Y Netanyahu
    FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS HUMANAS Y SOCIALES LA EVOLUCIÓN DEL SIONISMO REVISIONISTA EN EL LIKUD DURANTE EL PLAN DE DESCONEXIÓN La visión divergente de Sharón y Netanyahu Mencía María Pérez Melero 5ºE-5 Área de Relaciones Internacionales Dña. Henar Pizarro Llorente Madrid Abril 2018 Mencía María Pérez Melero La evolución del sionismo revisionista en el Likud durante el Plan de Desconexión LA EVOLUCIÓN DEL SIONISMO REVISIONISTA EN EL LIKUD DURANTE EL PLAN DE DESCONEXIÓN RESUMEN: El Primer Ministro Ariel Sharón impulsó en 2004 un Plan de Desconexión para eliminar la presencia civil israelí en la Franja de Gaza. Esta política se llevó a cabo en agosto de 2005 provocando la polarización en el seno del Likud entre los que apoyaban una postura conservadora en contra de la retirada y una corriente centrista enfocada al diálogo. Benjamín Netanyahu y Ariel Sharón fueron los representantes de estas dos corrientes. El resultado de este conflicto fue la creación por parte de Sharón del partido Kadima de corte moderado. A través de este acontecimiento histórico, se explica la influencia del sionismo revisionista en el desarrollo de la política territorial del Estado de Israel. Vladímir Ze´ev Jabotinsky fue el padre fundador de esta corriente dentro del sionismo que tanta influencia ha tenido en el desarrollo geopolítico de la región. PALABRAS CLAVE: Sionismo Revisionista, Vladímir Ze´ev Jabotinsky, Plan de Desconexión, Benjamín Netanyahu, Ariel Sharón, Likud, Kadima. ABSTRACT: In 2004, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon stablished the Disengagement Plan to eliminate the Israeli civilian presence in the Gaza Strip. This policy was carried out in August 2005, causing the polarization within the Likud between those who supported a conservative stance against the withdrawal and the centrist stance focused on dialogue.
