  • Deterrence and Realism
    The Evolution of Israeli Military Strategy: Asymmetry, Vulnerability, Pre-emption and Deterrence Gerald M. Steinberg We are a generation that settles the land and without the steel helmet and the cannon’s maw, we will not be able to plant a tree and build a home. Let us not be deterred from seeing the loathing that is inflaming and filling the lives of the hundreds of thousands of Arabs who live around us. Let us not avert our eyes lest our arms weaken. This is the fate of our generation. This is our life's choice - to be prepared and armed, strong and determined, lest the sword be stricken from our fist and our lives cut down. --Moshe Dayan's Eulogy for Roi Rutenberg (April 19, 1956)1 Overview When the nascent Israeli leadership met on May 14, 1948, in Tel Aviv to declare independence, the country was already being attacked by neighboring Arab armies. The clearly stated objective was to destroy the miniscule Jewish state, with its very vulnerable borders, before it could be established, using the apparently decisive Arab advantages in terms of territorial extent, armed forces, demography, and political influence. Israel overcame these hurdles in 1948 and in subsequent military confrontations, yet despite the development of formidable military capabilities, the inherent asymmetries and existential threats to the Jewish nation-state remain. Given this environment, Israel‟s survival has depended on the development of appropriate strategic and tactical responses. The period from 1948 to 1973 was characterized primarily by large scale confrontations with the armies of Egypt, Syria, 1 Iraq and Jordan in different combinations.

  • IATF Fact Sheet
    1 FACT SHEET iataskforce.org Topic: National-Civic Service Updated: June 2014 All Arabs are exempt from service in the military, but the question of whether they should be conscripted for mandatory national service or have an opportunity to volunteer has been widely debated in recent years. In 2007, the government established a new unit in the Prime Minister’s office, the National Service Administration (now National-Civic), to explore avenues other than the military to integrate the Arab population more fully into mainstream Israeli society.2 Under one proposal, Arabs would volunteer to work full time in the fields of education, welfare and health for one to two years, in return for which they would receive a $150 monthly stipend and up to $2,000 upon the completion of their service.3 Dr. Reuven Gal, former head of the National Service Administration, said such service would give youth an opportunity to make a contribution to their own community. “Being part of a larger system”, he said, “strengthens the volunteers’ connection to the State.”4 He also believed that this was a step toward trust building. MK Ran Cohen (Meretz) maintained that Arab society has much to gain from communal activity carried out by non-government agents. He said community service can serve as a real model for civic and social solidarity.5 Israeli lawmakers have called for a universal national service law to be implemented, which would require all Israeli citizens who do not serve in the IDF to complete national service in a civic framework.6 In late 2007, Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit came out in support of the idea, and called the Arab sector to join the national service.

  • Arab Political Parties in the Occupied Lands of 1948 Mohammed Abu
    Arab Political Parties in the Occupied Lands of 1948 Mohammed Abu Oun Introduction The 1948 Nakba was a major turning point in the lives of the Palestinian people. The Zionist gangs had occupied 78% of Palestine's lands and established the so-called 'Israel' state. The Israeli occupation displaced a huge part of the Palestinian people, but an equally great part survived and clung to their own cities and villages, or moved to nearby cities inside the occupied land to establish new communities away from the ones targeted by the occupation. The Palestinians suffered from disconnectedness as a result of the occupation's measures against them. It practiced all forms of oppression against the Palestinian people for the purpose of erasing their identity and eliminating their existence. The Palestinians in the occupied lands realized the occupation's attempts to dissect the Arabs' presence and oppression of their identity through its racist measures. Therefore, the people started working on establishing and organizing a Palestinian Arab community to save their identity and culture, and exercise pressure on the occupation for the protection of the Palestinians' rights. This study examines the main endeavors for and reasons behind forming Arab parties in the occupied lands of 1948, these parties' accomplishments and the ways the occupation dealt with them considering them a strategic threat against the occupation and its project. The research ends with a glimpse of the possible future of the Arab parties in the Israeli political system. Topic One: Palestinians' Conditions inside the Occupied Lands after 1948 Since 1948, the Palestinian people has been suffering from the occupation's atrocities, massacres and targeting of civilians; children, women and elderly.

  • Israel's Governance Law: Raising the Electoral Threshold by Neri Zilber
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 2220 Israel's Governance Law: Raising the Electoral Threshold by Neri Zilber Mar 10, 2014 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Neri Zilber Neri Zilber, a journalist and analyst on Middle East politics and culture, is an adjunct fellow of The Washington Institute. Brief Analysis Far from disenfranchising certain groups, the pending legislation could spur smaller parties to form new political alliances that would likely favor the center-left opposition in future elections. s the Israeli Knesset prepares to pass a series of electoral reforms under the rubric of a new "Governance A Law," one provision has drawn particularly strong criticism: the raising of the threshold required for political parties to obtain seats in the legislature to 3.25% of total votes cast. Media attention has focused on opposition concerns about the measures being "anti-democratic" and potentially disenfranchising Arab Israeli citizens. Yet close analysis of recent electoral results and political realities indicates that the new law could actually help the Israeli center and left. BACKGROUND I sraeli parliamentary elections are conducted on the basis of nationwide proportional representation, with parties gaining a share of Knesset seats based on the number of votes they receive -- provided they meet a minimum threshold of votes. Until 1992, that threshold was 1% of all votes cast; parties falling under that requirement were not granted seats. The threshold was raised to 1.5% for the 1992 election, and to 2% for the 2003 election. The new Governance Law would raise it to 3.25%, among other measures. The primary initiators of the bill are Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman (of the Likud-Beitenu alliance) and Finance Minister Yair Lapid (of the Yesh Atid Party).

  • Obligations Versus Rights: the Views of Arab Teachers in Israel Regarding Serving in the Israel Defense Forces Or Volunteering in the National-Civic Service
    Journal of Education & Social Policy Vol. 7, No. 1; March 2017 Obligations versus Rights: The Views of Arab Teachers in Israel Regarding Serving in the Israel Defense Forces or Volunteering in the National-Civic Service Dr. Eisam Asaqli The Academic Arab College for Education in Israel, Haifa P. O. Box 2434 Maghar Village, 20128 Israel Abstract The study showed six main findings. First finding showed that the majority of interviewees see themselves as Israelis, yet in parallel view the Palestinians as their brothers. Second finding revealed that the majority of interviewees did not agree with compulsory military service but do not reject serving in the IDF or volunteering to do national service if one chooses to do so. Our third hypothesis was that not the draft itself would produce changes in the relationships between the societies, but that a change in government policy towards the Arab sector. Fourth finding showed that the Arab public believes that the rights are universal and not contingent on the fulfillment of obligations. The fifth hypothesis stressed that there is no agreement regarding the social implications that may follow the drafting of the young men. The final finding showed that Arab schools do not hold discussions about compulsory military service on their own initiative. Keywords: Israel, Arab population, Arab teachers, Israel Defense Forces, National-Civic Service, Obligations, Rights. 1. Introduction The establishment of the State of Israel led to substantial changes in the dispersion of Palestinian Arab society in the country. Whereas many left the country as refugees or settled in Gaza and the West Bank, only 150,000 Arabs stayed in the towns and villages within the newly founded State of Israel (Ganim, 2001).

  • South African Zionist Federation Presentation
    Presentation to Portfolio Committee on International Relations & Cooperation by We recognise the right of both Israelis and Palestinians to live in their own independent states, living side by side with mutual recognition. We respect the Palestinian right to choose their own government and live according to their own laws and religion. Israel desires the same. Moreover Israel’s Declaration of Independence protects the rights of minorities and of all religions. These rights are also protected by the government and its supreme court. While we support the notion of Palestinian independence, we do not support the way they are going about it at the UN. By not resolving and discussing any of the core issues; the borders, the refugees on both sides, mutual recognition and the right for Jews to live in Palestine, the conflict will not be resolved and may in fact intensify.
