  • ISRAEL Israel Is a Multiparty Parliamentary Democracy with A
    ISRAEL Israel is a multiparty parliamentary democracy with a population of approximately 7.7 million, including Israelis living in the occupied territories. Israel has no constitution, although a series of "Basic Laws" enumerate fundamental rights. Certain fundamental laws, orders, and regulations legally depend on the existence of a "State of Emergency," which has been in effect since 1948. The 120-member, unicameral Knesset has the power to dissolve the government and mandate elections. The February 2009 elections for the Knesset were considered free and fair. They resulted in a coalition government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israeli security forces reported to civilian authorities. (An annex to this report covers human rights in the occupied territories. This report deals with human rights in Israel and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.) Principal human rights problems were institutional, legal, and societal discrimination against Arab citizens, Palestinian residents of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (see annex), non-Orthodox Jews, and other religious groups; societal discrimination against persons with disabilities; and societal discrimination and domestic violence against women, particularly in Bedouin society. While trafficking in persons for the purpose of prostitution decreased in recent years, trafficking for the purpose of labor remained a serious problem, as did abuse of foreign workers and societal discrimination and incitement against asylum seekers. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life The government or its agents did not commit politically motivated killings. The petitioners withdrew their appeal to the High Court against the closure of the inquiry by the Department for Investigations against Police Officers' (DIPO) into the 2008 beating and subsequent coma and death of Sabri al-Jarjawi, a Bedouin.

  • Atarot and the Fate of the Jerusalem Airport Proposed Jewish Settlement of Atarot
    Atarot and the Fate Apart from a brief flurry of media attention at the end of 2007 when reports of the Jerusalem surfaced of post-Annapolis plans to build Airport one of the largest Jewish residential settlements in one of the strategic and Marian Houk densely-populated areas of contiguous Palestinian inhabitation in the Jerusalem area, there has been very little public interest focused on present-day Atarot, an area of former Jewish settlement and now the location of an Israeli-operated industrial zone adjacent to Qalandia. It is the site of two major infrastructure installations – one is a non-operational but still-viable airport originally built by the British during the mandate period, and the other is Jerusalem largest industrial zone, constructed by the Israeli Land Administration after Israel’s 1967 conquest. These two installations appear to have become sweeteners in a proposed Israeli Satellite Photo Map. Source: The Applied Research Institute- interim deal recently tabled in Israeli- Jerusalem (ARIJ). Palestinian negotiations. [ 64 ] Atarot and the Fate of the Jerusalem Airport Proposed Jewish Settlement of Atarot The name Atarot, apparently drawn from several Biblical references, was given to an area of land purchased for Zionist settlement in Qalandia village north of Jerusalem in the early 1900s, during the final years of Ottoman rule in Palestine. Jewish activists began to live and work in Atarot in 1914, but they moved away at some point during the First World War, and then returned in 1922, when Palestine was under British administration but prior to the League of Nations’ formal establishment of the Palestine Mandate.

    1 Location, Recent History, Demography ­Location Jerusalem is a city with shops and businesses, hotels and restaurants, sports arenas, police stations, schools, hospitals, and everything else we might expect of a modern city, including effective governance, equitable urban planning, efficient trash collection, and proper law enforcement. This modern city is located in a dramatic landscape and enjoys an appealingly mild climate. It boasts traditional holy places, world‐class museums, and modern sites of memory. It is a center of higher education and government, a national capital, and a popular magnet of religious pilgrimage and cultural tourism. Jerusalem is located at 31.47 degrees latitude and 35.13 degrees longitude and nestled on the watershed of the central highlands of the southern Levant, in the Judean mountains. It is not mere fancy that Jewish, Christian, and Islamic lore refers to Jerusalem as the “navel of the earth.” The place from which they believe the world was born connects the old continents of Africa, Asia, and Europe.

  • The Jerusalem Master Plan: Planning Into the Conflict
    The Jerusalem This paper investigates the Jerusalem Master Plan with reference to the Israeli- Master Plan: Palestinian conflict over Jerusalem. Planning into the The Jerusalem Master Plan is the first comprehensive plan for the “whole” city Conflict (both the western and the eastern parts): for Francesco Chiodelli the first time, the comprehensive spatial vision of Jerusalem in the twenty-first century that the Israeli authorities aim to realize is clearly expressed. In particular, the paper focuses on the theme of housing: it analyses in detail the contents of the master plan, showing the different treatment of the Arab and Jewish populations, and it reflects on the chances the different aspects of the plan have of being implemented. It is argued that the master plan is an integral part of a forty-year Israeli urban strategy concerning Jerusalem, aimed at encouraging Jewish residential settlement in the eastern part of the city (even if it presents some elements of discontinuity that are worth underlining). Introduction Planning the Occupation It is rather banal to state that space is both political and strategic and that, as a consequence, the design and organization of space is a political and strategic activity.1 Notwithstanding that, planning is often considered an almost depoliticized activity or, at least, a progressive practice, ignoring “the position of planning as an arm of the modern nation-state … [and overlooking] the numerous instances in which planning functions as a form of deliberate social control and oppression exercised by elites over weaker groups.”2 But we only need to look at the urban contexts of tough social conflicts (for instance, at what Scott Jerusalem Quarterly 51 [ 5 ] Bollens defines as “polarized” or “divided cities”3) for planning to disclose all its non- neutrality.

  • Jerusalem Syndrome, Which Can Be Triggered by a Visit to the City
    Jerusalem, showing municipal borders and neighbourhoods Metropolitan Disorders—10 yonatan mendel NEW JERUSALEM ncyclopædias of psychology cite a type of religious psychosis known as the Jerusalem Syndrome, which can be triggered by a visit to the city. Symptoms can include bellow- ing liturgical songs, delivering moralistic sermons and an Eintensified concern with cleanliness and ritual purity. Though similar reactions have been recorded at other holy cities, notably Rome and Mecca, Jerusalem holds the record for this psychopathology.1 From the point of view of any normal urban logic, however, the city itself appears crazier still. Its boundaries extend far beyond its core population centres, encompassing dozens of villages, barren hilltops, orchards and tracts of desert, as well as new-build suburbs with scant relation to the historical city; in the north, they stretch up, like a long middle finger, nearly to Ramallah, to take in the old Qalandia airport, some 10 kilometres from the Old City walls, and bulge down almost to Bethlehem in the south. Jerusalem’s former Deputy Mayor, Meron Benvenisti, has said of these monstrously extended city limits: I’ve reached the point that when someone says ‘Jerusalem’ I am very cynical about it. This is a term that has been totally emptied of its content. Today there is no geographic concept called ‘Jerusalem’, and instead I suggest using a new term, ‘Jermudin’, which is the territory stretched from Jericho to Modi’in. Someone decided to rub the hills that have no connection to Jerusalem with holy oil, and today we need to deal with a ‘Jerusalem’ region, which is unmanageable and which is held by force.2 But if the cityscape of Jerusalem has no decipherable urban logic, what rationality has shaped its growth? In Benvenisti’s view, ‘it all started from the post-1967 municipal borders and the famous principle of maximum new left review 81 may june 2013 35 36 nlr 81 square kilometres of land and minimum number of Arabs.’3 There is much to be said for this hypothesis; but we will have to begin a little earlier than that.
