The Government of Israel welcomes the opportunity to present its 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th periodic reports to the Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in accordance with the requirements of article 9, paragraph 1 (b) of the International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination (hereinafter, the “Convention” or “CERD”). The present combined report supplements Israel’s initial report and subsequent reports relating to the years 1982, 1984 and 1991 (CERD/C/192/Add.2), and 1993, 1995 and 1997 (CERD/C/294/Add.1).1 2. This report has been prepared by the Department for International Agreements and International Litigation at the Ministry of Justice with the assistance of other ministries, departments, agencies and entities of the Government of Israel. Israeli nongovernmental organizations (“NGOs”) were also invited to submit comments prior to the compilation of this report. 3. Racial discrimination is prohibited in Israel. The State of Israel condemns all forms of racial discrimination, and its government has maintained a consistent policy prohibiting such discrimination. The Israeli Government has taken constant measures to uphold the provisions of CERD since its ratification of this important instrument. 4. Since the submission of Israel’s last reports to the Committee in 1997, many new significant legislative, judicial and administrative developments relevant to the Convention have occurred. This combined report provides a comprehensive account of these developments. 5. A short summary of some of the most significant policy and legislative developments that have occurred in Israel since its last report to the Committee is provided below. We would note that while it will naturally take time for some of the more recent developments to translate into concrete results, in many areas substantial new measures that give effect to the provisions of the Convention have already come into effect. I. Legislative measures 6. Since 1998 significant new steps have been taken by the Israeli Parliament (the "Knesset") to promote tolerance and the elimination of racial discrimination in all its forms. Some noteworthy examples are included below. 7. The Knesset enacted legislation prohibiting discrimination against minority groups in the provision of pubic services, the Prohibition of Discrimination in Products, Services and Entry into Places of Entertainment and Public Places Law, 5761-2000 ("The Prohibition of Discrimination in Products, Services and Entry into Places of Entertainment and Public Places Law"). The Law prohibits discrimination by an individual operating a public place. Violation of this prohibition is both a civil wrong and a criminal offence punishable by fine. The law applies to the State as well and has been interpreted broadly as applying to a host of public places, including schools, libraries, pools, stores, and all other places serving the public. Court decisions have upheld this broad interpretation of the law. CERD/C/471/Add.2 page 5 8. The Knesset amended the Civil Service Law (Appointments), 5719-1959 ("The Civil Service Law (Appointments)"), in 1998 to institute affirmative action programs in the Civil Service hiring practices in order to ensure the adequate representation of minority groups. 9. Several amendments to the Penal Law 5739-1977 ("The Penal Law") created important tools to enable prosecution of racist incitement and "hate crimes". A 1994 amendment doubled the punishment for offences committed for a racist motive; a 2002 amendment added offences of incitement to violence and terror; and a November 2004 amendment added a section titled "Hate Offences". 10. The Pupils Rights Law, 5761-2000 ("The Pupils Rights Law") enacted in 2000, bans any form of discrimination concerning the registration of students by the governmental and local authorities or any educational institution (at Article 5 (A) (1)).

Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi­ gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May­ August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record­ ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors.

  • Critique of the Draft Bill - Israel Land Administration Law (Amendment No
    ADALAH POSITION PAPER 21 July 2009 Critique of the Draft Bill - Israel Land Administration Law (Amendment No. 7) 2009 Prepared by Adalah Attorney Suhad Bishara and Adalah Urban and Regional Planner Hana Hamdan on behalf of the High Follow-up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel This paper is based on the version of the bill as it was put forth by the Israeli government on 21 July 2009 1. The Knesset Economic Committee recently considered the issue of the Israel Land Administration reform, and approved a draft law on the subject. The draft law, inter alia, institutes a regime of land privatization, permits exchanges of land between the State and the Jewish National Fund (Keren Kayemet Le-Israel) (hereinafter - the “JNF”) and grants decisive weight to representatives of the JNF in the new Land Authority Council. The draft law is extremely prejudicial to the basic and constitutional rights of the Arab citizens of Israel, and it violates the rights of the Palestinian refugees and contravenes international humanitarian law (IHL) applicable to the Palestinian refugees and their property. The Land Privatization Policy 2. The reform will lead to the transfer of ownership in leased properties throughout the State of Israel in the urban, rural and agricultural sectors, as well as with respect to land governed by outline plans enabling the issue of building permits. 3. Thus, Section 9(2)(b) of the draft law states that the definition of “transfer of title” shall be - “transfer of title in a real estate property, whether or not for consideration, from the owner to the lessee of such real estate property”.

  • THE ZIONIST BIBLE Bibleworld Series Editors: Philip R
    THE ZIONIST BIBLE BibleWorld Series Editors: Philip R. Davies and James G. Crossley, University of Sheffield BibleWorld shares the fruits of modern (and postmodern) biblical scholarship not only among practitioners and students, but also with anyone interested in what academic study of the Bible means in the twenty-first century. It explores our ever- increasing knowledge and understanding of the social world that produced the biblical texts, but also analyses aspects of the Bible’s role in the history of our civi- lization and the many perspectives – not just religious and theological, but also cultural, political and aesthetic – which drive modern biblical scholarship.
