Civic Identity in the Jewish State and the Changing Landscape of Israeli Constitutionalism Submitted To Professor George Thomas by Mohamad Batal for Senior Thesis Spring 2018 April 23, 2018 ii iii iv Abstract: This thesis begins with an explanation of Israel’s foundational constitutional tension—namely, that its identity as a Jewish State often conflicts with liberal- democratic principles to which it is also committed. From here, I attempt to sketch the evolution of the state’s constitutional principles, pointing to Chief Justice Barak’s “constitutional revolution” as a critical juncture where the aforementioned theoretical tension manifested in practice, resulting in what I call illiberal or undemocratic “moments.” More profoundly, by introducing Israel’s constitutional tension into the public sphere, the Barak Court’s jurisprudence forced all of the Israeli polity to confront it. My next chapter utilizes the framework of a bill currently making its way through the Knesset—Basic Law: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People—in order to draw out the past and future of Israeli civic identity.

  • Bed Med Sabeel 7 Juni 2018
    Bed med Sabeel 7 juni 2018 En israelisk krypskytt sköt och dödade en 21-årig kvinnlig ambulanssjukvårdare, Raan Ashraf al-Najjar, när hon behandlade skadade under demonstrationerna längs Gazas gräns mot Israel. Sedan den “Stora Marschen för återvändande” började i Gaza den 30 mars har 119 palestinier dödats, inklusive barn och journalister och tusentals palestinier har skadats. • Herre, låt din Ande trösta oss medan vi fortsätter att få stressande nyheter från Gaza. Vi ber att demonstrationerna ska fortsätta på ickevålds-vägen. Vi längtar efter att palestinierna ska återfå sin frihet och få kraft att återvända till sitt land. Vi kommer ihåg familj, vänner och kollegor till Razan nu när de sörjer över att ha förlorat henne. Herre i din nåd... Hör våra böner. Det finns hundratals palestinier som sitter häktade utan rättegång, av säkerhetsskäl upp till sex månader, vilket kan förlängas. Dessa fångar som hålls under “administrative detention”, väntas under veckan starta en hungerstrejk mot denna israeliska policy. Palestinska fångar som kvarhålls på detta sätt fortsätter att bojkotta domstolarna eftersom de har förlorat hoppet att någonsin få en rättvis rättegång i en israelisk domstol. • Herre, vi fortsätter att be för de palestinska politiska fångarna. Låt din ande ge dem mod att stå stadigt fast och lita på din rättvisa. Herre i din nåd.... Torsdagen den 24 maj fastslog tre domare i Israels högsta dom stol, Noam Sohlberg, Anat Baron och Yael Willner, att staten kan riva hemmen i den palestinska byn Khan al-Ahmar och förflytta invånarna med våld till en annan plats. • Herre, beslutet från de israeliska domarna verkar vara mycket obarmhärtigt och domstolsförfarandet är upprörande.

  • Sparare Ai Manifestanti Mentre Si Riposano: Le Nuove Regole D’Ingaggio Di Israele
    Sparare ai manifestanti mentre si riposano: le nuove regole d’ingaggio di Israele Maureen Clare Murphy 28 giugno 2019 – Electronic Intifada Sparare ai “principali istigatori” durante le proteste disarmate a Gaza quando si stanno riposando. Aprire il fuoco contro adolescenti che cercano di andare a pregare a Gerusalemme benché non rappresentino un pericolo. Questo è il normale, ingiustificato e criminale uso letale di armi da fuoco contro palestinesi da parte delle forze di occupazione israeliane. Un documento dell’esercito israeliano afferma che i cecchini hanno il permesso di sparare a palestinesi che essi ritengano essere “i principali istigatori” o “principali facinorosi” durante le proteste della “Grande Marcia del Ritorno” a Gaza. L’esercito definisce “principali istigatori” le persone che “dirigono o guidano attività” durante le proteste, come “posizionamento tattico” e bruciare copertoni. “Principali facinorosi” sono definiti quelli il cui comportamento “determina le condizioni grazie alle quali irruzioni di massa o infiltrazioni” in Israele da Gaza possono avvenire. Il documento dell’esercito israeliano afferma che ai cecchini è consentito “sparare a un istigatore importante” mentre “si allontana temporaneamente dalla folla e si riposa prima di continuare la sua attività.” Il documento presenta simili azioni come un esempio di “moderazione” e suggerisce che tali precauzioni riducono il rischio di “colpire qualcun altro”. Israele giustifica l’uso di forza letale contro manifestanti definendo le mobilitazioni della “Grande Marcia del Ritorno” – manifestazioni nelle zone orientale e settentrionale di Gaza tenute periodicamente dall’inizio dello scorso anno – una “sommossa” o “violenti disordini” che pongono una minaccia all’esercito e alle sue infrastrutture o in qualche caso a quelle civili.

  • Vaccinare I Palestinesi Solo Se È Funzionale a Israele
    Dopo che i cecchini israeliani hanno ucciso 40 palestinesi in 3 mesi, il capo dell’esercito ha detto: ‘così non va, rilassatevi’ Dopo che i cecchini israeliani hanno ucciso 40 palestinesi in 3 mesi, il capo dell’esercito ha detto: ‘così non va, rilassatevi’ Dopo che i soldati israeliani hanno ucciso “come se nulla fosse” più di 40 palestinesi in 2 mesi, il capo di stato maggiore dell’esercito ha detto: “Così non va bene” ed ha ordinato ai cecchini di “rilassarsi”. Ma quando il giornalista Ohad Hemo ha riportato l’accaduto al Forum della Politica Israeliana, la presidentessa Susie Gelman ha subito espresso le sue preoccupazioni riguardo all’evasione dei prigionieri palestinesi da un carcere israeliano. Philip Weiss 17 settembre 2021 – Mondoweiss Tre giorni fa un’associazione filoisraeliana ha tenuto un dibattito che ha rivelato la sua totale indifferenza nei confronti delle vite dei palestinesi. Il giornalista israeliano Ohad Hemo ha detto al Forum della Politica Israeliana, un’organizzazione lobbistica israelo-americana, che, dopo che i soldati israeliani hanno ucciso “come se nulla fosse” più di 40 palestinesi in Cisgiordania in due mesi, il capo dell’esercito ha detto: “Questo non va bene” ed ha ordinato ai cecchini di “rilassarsi”. Susie Gelman, la presidentessa del Forum della Politica Israeliana, non ha risposto alla scioccante notizia, ma ha riportato la discussione sui suoi “motivi di preoccupazione” – l’evasione dei prigionieri palestinesi da un carcere israeliano. Ecco la descrizione secondo Hemo di questa furia omicida: Nelle ultime settimane è successo qualcosa in Cisgiordania. Posso dirvi che negli ultimi due mesi ci sono stati più di 40 palestinesi uccisi con armi da fuoco da Israele.

  • Sabeel Wave of Prayer
    abeel Wave of Prayer SJune 7th, 2018 This prayer ministry enables local and international friends of Sabeel to pray over regional concerns on a weekly basis. Sent to Sabeel’s network of supporters, the prayer is used in services around the world and during Sabeel’s Thursday Communion service; as each community in its respective time zone lifts these concerns in prayer at noon every Thursday, this “wave of prayer” washes over the world. An Israeli sniper shot and killed a 21-year-old Palestinian female paramedic, Razan Ashraf al-Najjar, as she was treating injured protesters during the demonstrations along the Gaza border with Israel. Since the “Great March of Return” began in Gaza on March 30th, 119 Palestinians have been killed, including children and journalists, and thousands of Palestinians have been injured. • Lord, may your spirit comfort us as we continue to receive distressing news from Gaza. We pray that the demonstrations remain non-violent. We long for the Palestinians to regain their freedom and be empowered to return to their land. We remember the family, friends and colleagues of Razan as they grieve for her loss. Lord in your mercy… Hear our prayers There are hundreds of Palestinian prisoners who are being held under detention by the Israeli state without trial for up to six months (renewable), for ‘security reasons’. These prisoners, held under ‘administrative detention’, are expected this week to launch a hunger strike against this Israeli policy. Palestinian prisoners held under administrative detention continue their boycott of the law courts as they have lost hope in ever receiving a just hearing in an Israeli court.
