    Israel and the Occupied Territories 2015 Human Rights Report

    ISRAEL 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Israel is a multiparty parliamentary democracy. Although it has no constitution, the parliament, the unicameral 120-member Knesset, has enacted a series of “Basic Laws” that enumerate fundamental rights. Certain fundamental laws, orders, and regulations legally depend on the existence of a “state of emergency,” which has been in effect since 1948. Under the Basic Laws, the Knesset has the power to dissolve the government and mandate elections. The nationwide Knesset elections in March, considered free and fair, resulted in a coalition government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security services. (An annex to this report covers human rights in the occupied territories. This report deals with human rights in Israel and the Israeli- occupied Golan Heights.) During the year according to Israeli Security Agency (ISA, also known as Shabak) statistics, Palestinians committed 47 terror attacks (including stabbings, assaults, shootings, projectile and rocket attacks, and attacks by improvised explosive devices (IED) within the Green Line that led to the deaths of five Israelis and one Eritrean, and two stabbing terror attacks committed by Jewish Israelis within the Green Line and not including Jerusalem. According to the ISA, Hamas, Hezbollah, and other militant groups fired 22 rockets into Israel and in 11 other incidents either planted IEDs or carried out shooting or projectile attacks into Israel and the Golan Heights.

This picture, whether in a film, on a poster, or in reality, is one of Tel Aviv, the self-proclaimed “Gay Capital of the Middle East.”1 It is the most popular and well-known image of the Israeli LGBT community. The history of LGBT rights in Israel predates that of many Western nations, including the United States. Israeli gay rights ensure that all LGBT citizens receive many of the same rights to their heterosexual counterparts, albeit with less publicized shortfalls in terms of health, edu- cation and welfare laws. The greatest exception and the most significant encroachment of faith onto the legality of homosexuality is in the lack of legal gay marriage in Israel. Alongside their crafting of legal rights, the Israeli government has invested heavily in the coastal city of Tel Aviv, rebranding it as a globally recognized “gay destination.” This effort resulted in a fiscally beneficial gay tourism industry and a more positive international reputation for Israel.

    Israel, Palestine

    Oral Evidence on Israel and Palestine by EST I am a Christian by religion, born in Nazareth, Israel to Arabic-speaking Christian parents and brought up in Kufur Yasief, the hiding place of Josephus Flavius. Persecution for Christians in Israel and Palestine is not on the scale it is in Egypt, but it is there nonetheless. It must be added that there is a growing number of Jewish-background, and Russian Christians in Israel, who suffer more persecution from the Jewish state and people. Most Arabic-speaking Christians in Israel, as in greater Syria, are of mixed blood and my genetic profile shows that I am: Middle East (Aleppo) 64% Europe South 24% Caucasus 8% European Jewish 4% This emphasizes the genetic mix of Arabic-speaking Christians from Israel/Palestine. Christian Arabs in Israel/Palestine live in a climate of fear and therefore hypocrisy. Pressure on Arabic-speaking Christians to tow the Muslim Arab nationalist line is so great, that we are even afraid of complaining about injustices against us. We suffer: • At the hands of Jews, because we are seen as: o Arabs: and so enemies, and primitive. o Christian: and so gentiles. WE are often blamed, by association, for the European holocaust. • At the hands of Muslims because we are Christian, and "infidels." We are often punished for “western” bias towards Israel. Christian Arabs are persecuted by 4 groups: • The Israeli State • Jews • Muslims • Christian Zionists Persecution by the state of Israel The Israeli state officially does not distinguish between Christian and Muslim. The Jewish 'nation state' law (June 2018) simply discriminates against the Arabs of Israel regardless of faith: 1.

Mathie Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion Lancaster University This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in International Relations November 2018 Declaration This thesis is the result of my own work and includes nothing, which is the outcome of the work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It has not been previously submitted, in part or whole, to any university or institution for any degree, diploma, or other qualification. Signed: Nicola S. Mathie Research Award This thesis is the outcome of Research Award Grant Number 1225917 from The Economic and Social Research Council. My appreciation will always be with The Economic and Social Research Council for funding this PhD. Abstract Jewish-Israeli settlements built over the State of Israel’s internationally-recognised territorial borders are sites of contestation. The focus of this thesis is upon conflicts and contestations which have developed between the State of Israel and some of its own subjects, Jewish settlers, over the evacuation of settlement-communities and structures, and other perceived threats to settlement. From 2008, a new form of violence has been enacted by individuals in the settler community. Self-declared as Price-Tag violence, the attacks take different forms. These include vandalising Palestinian properties and spraying provocative graffiti, and throwing Molotov cocktails at properties. Whilst the attacks are predominantly perpetrated upon Palestinian targets, the attacks are directed at the State of Israel. Price-Tag attacks have also occurred directly on Israeli targets, such as Israeli military vehicles.

    INCORPORATED 1952 NUMBER 452 JUNE 1987 The first TTC ALRV, 4200, is put through its paces at the UTDC test track near Kingston, Ont., May 20, 1987. The car has been equipped with a bow collector temporarily but will sport a regular trolley pole in Toronto operation. The ALRV lacks its number and TTC crest, but already has a roll sign, turned up for 501 Queen, one of the routes on which it will operate. The boxes on the roof are for the ventilators and the brake resistors. Notable differences between this car and demonstrator 4900 include redesigned trucks, two sets of chopper controls, and standard foot controls instead of hand control. The first of the TTC's 52 ALRVs is expected to reach Toronto this summer, --Photo courtesy Ray Corley Two of the locomotives that helped the ONR to complete its dieselizatlon program were FP7A 1510 outshopped by DDGM in June, 1952, and GP9 1600, which left the London shop floor in July, 1956.

  • Right-Wing Israeli Fanatic Stabs Six at Gay Rights Parade

    Right-Wing Israeli Fanatic Stabs Six at Gay Rights Parade

    Right-wing Israeli Fanatic Stabs Six at Gay Rights Parade By Bill Van Auken Region: Middle East & North Africa Global Research, July 31, 2015 Theme: Poverty & Social Inequality World Socialist Web Site A right-wing Orthodox Jewish zealot carried out an attack Thursday against a gay pride march in occupied East Jerusalem, stabbing at least six marchers. Two of them—a 17-year- old girl and a female border guard—were reported in critical condition. The assailant was identified as Yishai Schlissel, who only three weeks earlier had been released on parole after serving nearly 10 years in prison for carrying out a nearly identical attack that left three participants in the 2005 gay pride march with stab wounds. Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat acknowledged Thursday that “something went wrong” in the failure of police to monitor Schlissel, who while in prison had repeatedly used ultra-Orthodox social media to promote attacks on gays and describe his knifing spree as a “mission from God.” The Israeli Hebrew daily Maariv reported that the assailant had published a handwritten letter the week before the parade, denouncing it as a “march of abomination.” “It is incumbent upon every Jew to risk beatings or imprisonment and together to stop the desecration for the sanctity of His name,” the letter stated. “If we refrain from declaring war, they’ll feel free to spread this shame all over the world.” Immediately after his release from prison, Schlissel gave an interview to an ultra-Orthodox radio station, declaring, “If a single person comes and wants to hold the [gay pride] parade, it’s worthwhile doing something extreme.” He added, “the objective—I need to stop this parade.” Jerusalem Police Chief Chico Edry said there would be an investigation, but claimed that the police knew nothing of Schlissel’s plans.
