Another commitment to which we attribute great importance, since EL AL was founded, is our commitment to Israeli society and the State of Israel; it embodies the sense of being Israeli and our national responsibility. We are proud of our philanthropy policy, with contributions that annually assist community and social nonprofit organizations, whose activities impact the lives of many Israelis. Additionally, we partake in a variety of social initiatives and work together with nonprofit associations and organizations on many issues: education, health, welfare, support of IDF soldiers in the framework of “Ametz Lochem – Adopt a Fighter”, Israeli public diplomacy abroad by the “EL AL Ambassadors” project and more. We consider this to be a national mission and intend to continue this conduct in the future. Our national responsibility was further expressed during Operation “Protective Edge”, when our flight schedule was enhanced to respond to the needs of Israelis locally and abroad. EL AL had defined additional objectives for itself, aiming to maintain its standing as Israel’s leading airline. We can improve further and we keep on going, not stopping for a minute.

We are delighted that this report was written in accordance with GRI G4 guidelines, which positions us in a respectful stance along with many leading companies in the Israeli market. Good Vision - CSR Consulting Firm, of the Fahn Kanne & Co. Grant Thornton Group, continues to accompany us on CSR issues, and had also assisted in the Message from the CEO of Maala Momo Mahadav This report by EL AL is being published in proximity to the First International CSR Conference to be held in Israel. Following two decades of activity on the issue, we invited the global arena to get an impression of the Israeli experience. Israeli corporate responsibility is characterized by creativity and innovation, alertness and dynamism, focus on social challenges and caring. In recent years we see significant growth and development of the issue in Israel, also in comparison to the global arena. EL AL, one of the companies most identified with the State of Israel, reflects in its report how these characteristics are implemented in practice. Particularly eye catching are the stories of the relief aircraft following the Nepal earthquake; the EL AL Ambassadors program – aircrew members who volunteer to represent Israel abroad; air transport of sick children and so forth. No less important are the steps taken to increase employment diversity within EL AL, in a manner that is significant to the employees being hired, but also, in a company that is “not just an airline. It’s Israel”, represents the entirety of the country’s faces and identities. Even in the context of more challenging years for the aviation sector economically and certainly during better years, EL AL is operating diligently and is highly commitment, for which we convey our congratulations.

  • Anti-Olmert Rally, Part 1
    Anti-Olmert Rally, Part 1 In the May 1 visit to Meretz USA of Meretz MK Avshalom (Abu) Vilan, he told us of imploring Gen. Uzi Dayan (the organizer of this past weekend’s oust- Olmert rally) to press the goal of Olmert’s resignation but not of a new election, for two reasons: 1. Frequent elections are making Israel’s government unstable; the last election was little more than a year ago. 2. More importantly, Netanyahu would be returned to power at the head of about 35 Likud MKs. Abu feels that it would be far better that Peres or Livni replace Olmert with a new Kadima-led coalition and that with Meretz’s support, embark upon new avenues toward peace, via the Saudis, the US, Abbas and the European Union. He personally trusts Peres more than Livni, feeling that Livni’s not experienced enough and that her right-wing Likud roots make her suspect. But I find Peres ultimately untrustworthy because of his habit as a political intriguer. Hence, I think that Livni might be better, but either one as PM would be a source of new hope. Below is an abbreviated description of last week’s oust-Olmert rally from the MideastWeb for Coexistence site, by one Joseph M. Hochstein of Tel Aviv: What made this demonstration different from others was the crowd’s diversity. Members of opposing political factions shared the square. Young men wearing National Religious knitted skullcaps prayed in groups alongside secular Tel Aviv residents. … The closest the audience came to a display of vocal unanimity was when Eliad Shraga, a reserve paratroop officer who heads the Movement for Quality Government, exhorted them to act as judge and jury and answer whether Olmert was guilty.

  • The Purpose of This Paper Is to Assess Various Unilateral Evacuation
    CONFIDENTIAL NOT FOR CIRCULATION MEMORANDUM TO: DR. SAEB ERAKAT FROM: NSU SETTLEMENTS FILE SUBJECT: PRE-PERMANENT STATUS SETTLEMENT EVACUATIONS (PART I): AN ASSESSMENT OF EXISTING PROPOSALS DATE: 30 APRIL 2006 The purpose of this paper is to assess various unilateral evacuation proposals put forth thus far, including Kadima’s “convergence” plan, and their implications for Palestinian interests. I. BACKGROUND Since the evacuation of some 8,500 Israeli settlers from Gaza and four small West Bank settlements as part of Sharon’s unilateral “disengagement” plan, there are growing indications that Israel may seek to carry out further settlement evacuations (as distinct from military withdrawals or redeployments) on a unilateral basis. While a negotiated settlement evacuation remains the preferred strategic option for Palestinians, the growing acceptability of Israeli unilateralism in Israel and abroad suggests that Palestinians may be forced to prepare for the possibility of further disengagement-type evacuations prior to (or instead of) permanent status negotiations, most likely in the context of a “state with provisional borders”. Many in Israel and elsewhere appear to view further unilateral settlement evacuations with increasing favor, particularly if Israeli and/or international confidence in the PA continues to wane. A recent poll shows that a slight majority of Israelis (51%) would favor further unilateral ‘disengagement-type’ evacuations by Israel in the event of the Palestinian leadership’s inability to negotiate or deliver a permanent status deal.1 Indeed, Israeli and international support for unilateralism may now be even higher following Hamas’s recent election victory. A number of unilateral evacuation proposals have already been put forward since the Gaza evacuation, by both the Israeli “left” and “center”.

MIRVAT EL-NADY, and EGYPTAIR AIRLINES MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON DEFENDANT EGYPTAIR AIRLINES’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT March 21, 2012 STEARNS, D.J. Plaintiff Colin Bower brought this action on his own behalf and in his capacity as the guardian of his two minor children after his former wife, defendant Mirvat El- Nady, fled to Cairo, Egypt, in August of 2009, taking the children with her without his consent and in violation of a Massachusetts court order granting custody to Bower. This decision does not affect the validity of the custody order, or the criminal prosecution of Mirvat El-Nady. Rather, it involves a related but separate claim against defendant EgyptAir, the airline on which El-Nady flew with her children from New York to Cairo. Bower alleges that EgyptAir should have refused passage to El-Nady and the children, and by failing to do so is liable for interference with his custodial Case 1:10-cv-10405-RGS Document 175 Filed 03/21/12 Page 2 of 28 relations, negligence, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and loss of filial consortium.

  • Inequality, Identity, and the Long-Run Evolution of Political Cleavages in Israel 1949-2019
    WID.world WORKING PAPER N° 2020/17 Inequality, Identity, and the Long-Run Evolution of Political Cleavages in Israel 1949-2019 Yonatan Berman August 2020 Inequality, Identity, and the Long-Run Evolution of Political Cleavages in Israel 1949{2019 Yonatan Berman∗ y August 20, 2020 Abstract This paper draws on pre- and post-election surveys to address the long run evolution of vot- ing patterns in Israel from 1949 to 2019. The heterogeneous ethnic, cultural, educational, and religious backgrounds of Israelis created a range of political cleavages that evolved throughout its history and continue to shape its political climate and its society today. De- spite Israel's exceptional characteristics, we find similar patterns to those found for France, the UK and the US. Notably, we find that in the 1960s{1970s, the vote for left-wing parties was associated with lower social class voters. It has gradually become associated with high social class voters during the late 1970s and later. We also find a weak inter-relationship between inequality and political outcomes, suggesting that despite the social class cleavage, identity-based or \tribal" voting is still dominant in Israeli politics.
