  • Israel's Nation-State

    Israel's Nation-State

    NO. 41 OCTOBER 2018 Introduction Israel’s Nation-State Law Netanyahu Government Lays the Foundations for a Majoritarian System Peter Lintl and Stefan Wolfrum On 19 July 2018, the Israeli parliament passed legislation known as the nation-state law. It is highly controversial in Israel as well as internationally, although strictly speaking there is little new contained in it. Its advocates emphasise that it merely gives expression to existing realities. Critics argue that the law discriminates against minorities, runs counter to democratic values and, in particular, undermines the principle of equality. The debate reveals the social tension in Israel between its ‘Jewish’ and ‘democratic’ identity. In addition, it becomes clear that the main sup- porters of the law on the government side have more far-reaching intentions than its wording suggests. Their aim is to place Jewish collective rights above individual rights and freedoms. The law is, therefore, also a manifestation of current govern- ment policy aimed at leading Israel away from a more liberal democracy and towards a majoritarian democracy. In particular, this policy affects the Supreme Court as a defender of liberal principles. Israel does not have a constitution, instead The law has been a long time coming. it has a set of basic laws that have consti- Since 2011, a variety of different drafts tutional status.

  • Reprieve in Bedouin Removal Plan?

    Reprieve in Bedouin Removal Plan?

    Reprieve in Bedouin removal plan? Having narrowly passed the first of three parliamentary “readings” (debates & votes), the Prawer-Begin Bill had been wending its gradual way through the Knesset approval process. As a law, it would forcibly relocate 30-40,000 Negev Bedouin (all citizens of Israel) from about 25 unrecognized villages into seven Bedouin towns and possibly other locations in the Negev. About two weeks ago, thousands of Bedouin and their supporters (including Palestinians in the territories and Jewish-Israeli activists) demonstrated in a “Day of Rage” against the pending legislation. Benny Begin PPI has been involved in this issue, and some of us have spent the last week formulating additional measures to oppose Prawer-Begin. The other day, we suddenly learned from an article in Haaretz that Israel’s governing coalition is likely to withdraw the bill, ostensibly because Benny Begin (son of Menachem Begin and a former Likud MK and cabinet minister) has revealed that he did not consult with Bedouin community leaders on the final format of the bill, as people had previously believed. This episode in Israel’s dealings with its Bedouin citizens in the Negev has been a public relations disaster, but the scrapping of this bill does not necessarily mean a more positive turn in Jewish-Bedouin and Jewish-Arab relations within the country. The following statements, quoted in Haaretz, are ominous in tone: This is what Yariv Levin, chair of the governing coalition in the Knesset, had to say: The present bill should be changed significantly. I’m willing to be generous to the Bedouin that would immediately agree to join the process.

    Dear Dorians, Welcome to the Tel Dor Excavation Project!! Below You Can Find Some General Information That Will Help You Prepare

    May 2011 Information Page Dear Dorians, Welcome to the Tel Dor excavation project!! Below you can find some general information that will help you prepare your trip to Tel Dor. At all times (before and during the season) remember that the Israeli/American staff will be happy to assist you with any problems or questions you might have. Arrival at Ben-Gurion Airport: At passport control you will be asked for the purpose of your trip to Israel. The answer is "tourism". You will be staying at Kfar Galim during your stay, a boarding school just south of Haifa. After you have collected your luggage and entered the arrivals hall you will have the opportunity to change your money and/or traveler's checks into shekels. The exchange rate is around 3.4 Israeli shekels (NIS) to US dollar, the rates at the airport do not necessarily represent the best exchange rate and it changes daily. Alternatively there are ATM machines that accept MasterCard and Visa. (The nearest banks to Kfar Galim are in Haifa, just a few km away). Travelling from the Airport to Dor 1) We have contacted several taxi companies that can wait in the airport and drive participants to the boarding school. Please book ahead of time and specify how many will travel and confirm the price again. The list of taxis and their price-list is below. ** Recommended to go to the Tel Dor Facebook page to meet new friends& organize to travel together (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tel- Dor/190529644268 ) 2) Regular airport taxis are also available on level G of terminal 3 (Arrivals/Departures Terminal).
