Effective policy is required to guide governments in translating the concept of shared society to a living reality on the ground. What types of policies can contribute to the creation of a shared society? What can we learn from past experiences? What are some examples of policies that have been effective? This session will begin with statements by Arab and Jewish educators, recent victims of a racist attack in Jerusalem, expressing the need for urgent action to stem the growing tide of violence and hatred in Israel. This will be followed by Jewish and Arab Members of Knesset (MKs) who will be joined by an international expert to shed new light on this global policy challenge. Moderator: Ayelet Roth, Co-Director, Jewish-Arab Center for Peace, Givat Haviva Speakers: MK Prof. Avishay Braverman, Labor Party, Former Minister of Minorities Prof. Rubén Campos, Programs Coordinator, Shared Society Project, Club de Madrid MK Dr. Hana Sweid, Hadash Revital Volkov, Educator Suhad Abu Zamira, Educator 11:00 – 12:30 From Local to National: The Role of Local Authorities in Building a Shared Society Efforts to enact policies and programs to foster social cohesion are primarily focused on the national level. But what about the local level? What types of policies, structures and programs are in place in local authorities to forge social cohesion among diverse populations in cities and towns? How can the national project of shared society building be decentralized? The Israel Union of Local Authorities will present its policy for bridging the social divides in Israeli society through the different models adopted for implementation through municipalities nationwide. Moderator: Dr. Ramzi Halabi, Consultant on Arab Municipalities, Union of Local Authorities in Israel (ULAI) Panelists: Ronit Heyd, Executive Director, Shatil, Jewish-Arab Mixed Cities Project Ghaida Rinawie-Zoabi, Executive Director, INJAZ – Center for Professional Arab Local Governance Prof. Gavriel Salomon, Director of the Center for Research on Peace Education, Haifa University Saleh Sliman, Vice Chairman, Union of Local Authorities in Israel (ULAI) Sivan Yehieli, Mayor, Kfar Vradim and Head, Committee for Joint Living in Israel of the Union of Local Authorities in Israel (ULAI) Respondent: Dr. Sarah Shadmi, Shdemot Center for Community Leadership, Oranim Academic College of Education 12:30 – 13:45 Lunch 13:45 – 14:00 Song for Shared Communities Jewish and Arab Youth from Kfar Kara & Pardes Hanna-Karkur 14:00 – 15:30 Shared Communities: The Givat Haviva Model for Building a Shared Society Givat Haviva has developed a unique model for shared society building based on the belief that change on a societal scale begins with the socio-political unit closest to the people – the community. The Shared Communities Flagship Program builds structured, mutually beneficial cooperation between pairs of neighboring Jewish and Arab communities divided by increasing tensions and mutual alienation that threaten the democratic fabric of Israel today. This panel will feature a presentation of the program model by Givat Haviva management, as well as experiences from the field by mayors of participating communities. It will also include a signing ceremony formalizing new community partnerships. Moderator: Riad Kabha, Co-Director of the Jewish-Arab Center for Peace, Givat Haviva Presentation: Givat Haviva Model for Shared Society Building Yaniv Sagee, Executive Director, Givat Haviva Panelists: Mursi Abu-Muh, Mayor, Baqa al-Gharbiyye Nazia Masrawa, Mayor of Kfar Kara Ilan Sadeh, Mayor of Menashe Regional Council Respondent: Dr. Yasser Awad, Professional Development Unit Manager, College of Sakhnin 15:30 – 17:00 Shared Society: A New Agenda for Democracy Building in Israel? Civil society leaders and supporters of Israel are seeking new approaches to promote a strong, democratic and just Israeli society. There is a growing understanding that new, innovative tools are in order to shift the troubling tide of division, conflict and hostility that has predominated in recent years. Is the shared society concept emerging as a game changer for key stakeholders vis-à-vis democracy building in Israel? This panel will expose the perspectives of leaders and supporters of Israel relating to the potential impact that shared society programs can have on Israeli society and how this is being translated into funding priorities and practices. Moderator: Harriet Mouchley-Weiss, Chair, Givat Haviva Educational Foundation Panelists: Don Futterman, Program Director, Moriah Fund (unconfirmed) Barak Loozon, Director, Israel and Global, San Francisco Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund Michal Steinman, Executive Director, Inter-Agency Task Force on Israeli Arab Issues Yuval Yavneh, Deputy Director, New Israel Fund Respondents: Hassan Agbaria, Principal, Hand in Hand School, Kfar Kara Mohammad Darawshe, Co-Executive Director, Abraham Fund Initiatives 17:00 – 17:30 Conclusions Yaniv Sagee, Executive Director, Givat Haviva Prof. Gavriel Salomon, Director of the Center for Research on Peace Education, Haifa University.

    Hagefen www.gfn.co.il August 11, 2017 MENASHE SECTION Menashe Regional Council chair Ilan Sadeh signs the plan for the new industrial zone: Menashe Regional Council The Industrial Zone in Menashe: Planning completed for the Iron Industrial Zone The Menashe Regional Council has completed planning for the Iron Industrial Zone, with all approvals in hand Architect Leah Perry, engineer for the Menashe-Alona Regional Planning and Building Committee, noted that the land area chosen – part of the Menashe regional jurisdiction between the Menashe Regional Center and the Barkai intersection – is close to the country’s main transportation network, in proximity to the Iron interchange on Trans-Israel Highway 6 as well as Highway 2, Route 65 and Israel Railways. The location is also consonant with the master plan for Wadi Ara development. The industrial zone has a total area of 1085 dunams (c. 268 acres), with 628,000 square meters for industrial and commercial buildings and another c. 15,000 square meters of public buildings. by Yaniv Golan This week Menashe Regional Council chairman Ilan Sadeh and architect Leah Perry, the council engineer for the Menashe-Alona Regional Planning and Building Committee, signed off on the plans, which were forwarded for registration with the Haifa District Planning and Building Committee, prior to final approval of the plans. The Iron Industrial Zone will be shared by six Jewish and Arab local councils in the northern Sharon area of Wadi Ara. The new industrial zone is an initiative of Menashe Regional Council chairman Ilan Sadeh. Behind this project is a unique Jewish-Arab partnership involving Jewish councils – the Menashe regional council and the Harish local council – alongside a series of Arab councils in Wadi Ara – the Umm al Fahm municipality, the Kfar Qara local council, the Basma local council (comprising Barta’a, Ein a-Sahle and Muawiya) and the Arara local council.

    Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Freunde und Förderer, am Vorabend der mittlerweile vierten Wahl in Israel innerhalb von zwei Jahren senden wir Ihnen Givat Havivas aktuellen Newsletter. Viel ist in den letzten dreieinhalb Monaten passiert, seit wir Ihnen unser letztes Rundschreiben präsentierten: Ende Dezember hatte sich um Mitternacht die Knesset automatisch aufgelöst, nachdem die 35. Regierung Israels am Streit über den Haushalt nach bereits einem halben Jahr wieder zerbrochen war. Seitdem ist der Dauerwahlkampf, der, mit wenigen Unterbrechungen seit 2019 in Israel tobt, wieder zurück und das übliche Karussell der Parteineugründungen, Spaltungen, und Zusammenschlüsse, der Zu- und Abgänge nahm wieder Fahrt auf. Mittlerweile ist die politische Gemengelage so unübersichtlich, dass es selbst Insidern schwerfällt, die verschiedenen Akteure und deren Positionen zu den aktuellen Politikfeldern auseinanderzuhalten. Die Chancen, dass diese neuerliche Wahl einen Ausweg aus der Dauerkrise weist und zu einer stabilen Regierung führt, dürften gering sein. Erneut sind zähe Koalitionsverhandlungen zu erwarten, die kommende Regierung dürfte kaum stabiler sein, als die vorherigen. Derweil ist die Covid-Impfkampagne in Israel, die nur kurz vor dem offiziellen Impfstart in Deutschland begann, weit fortgeschritten: beinahe die Hälfte aller Israelis ab 16 Jahren sind mittlerweile zweimal geimpft und Israel beginnt nun auch mit den Impfungen für palästinensische Gastarbeiter. Die Anzahl an Neuinfektionen sinkt spürbar und die Regierung stellt ihrer Bevölkerung die baldige Rückkehr zur Normalität in Aussicht. Damit hat Israel, aller im Lande oft beklagten Dysfunktionalität zum Trotz, wieder einmal bewiesen, in Krisensituationen eben doch handlungsfähig und zu beeindruckenden organisatorischen und logistischen Leistungen fähig zu sein. Ein Erfolg, den sich die Regierung unter Binyamin Netanyahu zweifelsohne zuschreiben kann.

The Commander of IDF Forces in the Judea and Samaria Areas Introduction This volume is a compilation of several important cases heard by the Supreme Court of Israel on terrorism, security activities and Israeli policy in the West Bank. The previous volume of “Judgments of the Israel Supreme Court: Fighting Terrorism within the Law,” reported on cases from 1997 to 2004. This successor volume contains cases from 2004 and 2005. The years 2004 and 2005 were significant in the development of Israel’s security policy. First, Israel disengaged from the Gaza Strip, removing Jewish settlements and its army presence in the area. Second, these years saw a marked increase in the building of a security fence meant to impede terrorist movement into Israel from the West Bank. Diplomatic efforts were undertaken; a summit was held between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt, on February 8, 2005.

Integration is often presented as being a desirable goal, which is both at the interest of the Arab community and of the State of Israel. At the same time, for many, integration has clear limitations – e.g. not everyone wants to study in mixed schools or even live in mixed communities, almost no one from both communities wants to promote the integration of identities or – at the extreme - intermarriages. This day will examine what integration looks like on the ground – in mixed cities and in neighboring Jewish and Arab communities. Over the course of the day we will explore different visions of integration and possible mechanisms for making integration a reality. 8:00 - 9:00 am Briefing at the hotel (Pacific Hall) A Practical Approach to Mixed Cities and Regions o Amnon Beeri-Sulitzeanu and Mohammed Darawshe, Co-Executive Directors, The Abraham Fund Initiatives 9:00 - 11:00 am Drive to Akko Briefings on the way: The Socio-Economic Status of Israeli Arabs in 2010 o Prof. Jack Habib, Director, Myers-JDC-Brookdale Institute Current Realities in the Galilee o Fathi Marshoud, Head of Shatil's Haifa Office 11:00 - 11:20 am – El Laz Theater Welcome and Opening Remarks (Coffee and light refreshments served) 11:20 am - 12:00 pm Guided tour of Akko’s old city (in two groups) with local Israeli Arab activists o Ms.

    LINGUISTIC AND SPATIAL PRACTICE IN A DIVIDED LANDSCAPE by Abigail Sone A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD Graduate Department of Anthropology University of Toronto © Copyright by Abigail Sone 2009 LINGUISTIC AND SPATIAL PRACTICE IN A DIVIDED LANDSCAPE Abigail Sone Department of Anthropology University of Toronto PhD 2009 Abstract of Thesis This dissertation demonstrates how changes in spatial boundaries map on to changes in the boundaries of national belonging through an ethnography of linguistic and spatial practice in a divided landscape. In Israel, as in many places around the globe, new forms of segregation have emerged in recent years, as violence and the fear of violence become increasingly bound up with the production of social difference and exclusion. In Wadi Ara, a valley in the north of the country where my fieldwork was based, segregation between Jewish and Palestinian citizens has dramatically increased since the fall of 2000, as the place of Palestinians in a Jewish state is being reconfigured. In this dissertation I focus on the changing movements and interactions of Jewish Israelis in Wadi Ara as they articulate with changes in the ways difference, belonging, and citizenship are organized on a national scale. I examine how increased hostility, fear, and distrust have become spatialized; how narratives of the past shape contemporary geographies; how competing ways of interpreting and navigating the landscape are mediated; and how particular forms of encounter are framed. My central argument is that through daily linguistic and spatial practice people in Wadi Ara do more than just make sense of shifting boundaries; they bring these boundaries into being and, in the process, they enact both self‐definition and exclusion, reflecting and circumscribing ii the changing place of Palestinians in Israel.

  • Chapter 12 Gordon
    Olive Green: Environment, Militarism and the Israel Defense Forces Uri Gordon Militaristic societies are ones in which the armed forces enjoy a privileged material and cultural status, and where military priorities and frames of thinking play a key role in policymaking and political culture (Vagts 1981, Evans and Newnham 1988). Militarism is not limited to direct governance by uniformed personnel (“praetorianism”), but may instead coexist with substantive democratic institutions (Ben Eliezer 1997). Thus, contemporary societies described as militaristic are as politically diverse as Switzerland and Burma, North and South Korea, Jordan and Israel. This chapter explores the interface between environmental and military issues in Israel, placing it within the context of the changing fortunes of Israeli militarism. In particular, it is argued that growing public willingness to challenge the military’s environmentally destructive behavior in the last decades was linked to wider transformations in Israeli society. The Oslo Accords and the rise of liberal- individualist outlooks associated with globalization and consumer culture weakened the country’s founding collectivist ideology in favor of material values associated with quality of life. In this context, the military lost its previous immunity to public criticism, and environmental concerns, formerly considered luxuries in comparison with security matters, were able to gain ground in the public sphere alongside other civil agendas. The chapter begins by stating the case for viewing Israel as a militaristic society. It then surveys the military’s environmental activity and the environmental destruction it has wrought, while also noting some early successes in the area of nature conservation. Finally, it discusses how, since the 1990s, the environmental movement and affected residents, as well as the Ministry of Environment and State Comptroller, have pushed the military to clean up its act.

    Climate Justice in Israel Inequality in Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Processes of Production and Treatment of Municipal Solid Waste Position Paper No. 2 2015 By: Tamar Neugarten Editing: Carmit Lubanov, Dan Rabinowitz Translation: Sagit Porat / Design: Dana Zahavi Climate Justice in Israel Inequality in Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Processes of Production and Treatment of Municipal Solid Waste Position Paper No. 2 2015* By: Tamar Neugarten Editing: Carmit Lubanov, Dan Rabinowitz Translation: Sagit Porat / Design: Dana Zahavi The Climate Justice Research and Policy project is supported by the Rosa Luxemburg t׳Stiftung. The content of the document is the sole responsibility of AEJI and doesn necessarily reflect the position of RLS. * This document was originally published in Hebrew in 2013. The full English translation is published in October 2015. The Information was up-to-date at the time of the original Hebrew publication. Abstract This document is part of an extensive research project addressing climate justice in Israel, initiated by the Association of Environmental Justice in Israel (AEJI) and undertaken in collaboration with Tel Aviv University. The goals of the project are to research the socio-economic characteristics of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced from different sources in Israel, and formulate policy tools, including social- and behavioral-economic tools. Between the years 2011-2013, the research focused on four main spheres: domestic electricity consumption; use of transportation (privately owned vehicles); food consumption; and the production and treatment of solid waste – the issue addressed by this document. Based on availability of data, we had examined Quantities of waste production in different localities in Israel and the rate of emissions from waste in each locality; and compared between localities according to their classifications as cities, local councils (smaller towns) and regional (rural) councils, and their classification into socio-economic clusters.
