I had been to more than a few of these breakfast recep- tions before, and I had never seen anything like this, nor have I seen anything like it since then. This was amaz- ing—a shuttle bus that takes groups of people around from fundraiser to fundraiser, thereby ensuring several things. The first is that the reception’s hosts will have a decent showing so that guests from the organization the money is being raised for are not embarrassed by a poor showing. It does the same for distinguished speak- ers, who are sometimes flown in from Israel or from distant parts of this country.

There are two other situa- tions this system successfully deals with. One is the parking problem. Once the first 25 or so cars have been parked near or around the home that the reception is taking place in, many people who have intended to participate in these events have just turned around and gone back home because they could not find a close enough parking space. Then there is the matter of walking into a room alone, which is also a deterrent that keeps many people away from these events. Some people will tell you that the reason you mostly see the same faces at these recep- tions is because the greatest deterrent is writing a check that might put a little crimp in your monthly budget.

  • Project Democracy: Fighting for the Ground Rules
    Project Democracy: Fighting for the Ground Rules Chapter 4: Freedom of Speech, Dissent, and Political Activity Freedom of speech is a basic human right and an essential component of any democracy. It is this freedom that enables citizens to exchange views and information, to protest against injustice, to influence the public discourse, and to criticize the actions of the government. As such, freedom of speech represents a necessary condition for the informed and effective political participation of a country's citizenry. Restrictions on free speech cause harm to democratic life and stands in contradiction to the fundamental principles of democracy – that government should impose no more than the necessary minimum of restrictions on individuals, especially regarding their basic rights. The safeguarding of free speech is especially critical for defending the rights of minority groups. Minorities often suffer from limited political influence and limited access to the corridors of power, and so the arena of public expression is where they are best able to give voice to their positions, to protest, and to influence public opinion. In numerous and unrelenting rulings and legal decisions, Israel's Supreme Court has defended freedom of speech, calling it “the lifeline of democracy.” In these principled rulings, time after time the justices have affirmed that the true test of freedom of speech is not the defense of commonly accepted statements – which no one seeks to limit anyway – but of statements considered irritating, extreme, and unexceptional. Over the last two years, we have witnessed increasing threats in Israel to freedom of speech and those freedoms which derive from it: The right to demonstrate, freedom of the press, academic freedom and freedom of political activity.

A Comparative Perspective This policy paper examines the representation of women in Israeli politics from a comparative perspective.
