The changes proposed here are the result of years of research, of data analysis, and of comparative studies. We believe that the reforms outlined in this paper would be beneficial, that they would have a realistic chance of being implemented, and that they would strike a delicate balance between conflicting agendas. The proposed reform is meant to achieve the following overall goals: a. To make Members of Knesset (MKs) more accountable and answerable to their voters; b. To improve government stability.

INTRODUCTION The modern State of Israel was born of two powerful impulses. First was the dream of the Zionist pioneers, starting in the late nineteenth century, to return to the ancient Jewish homeland, cultivate the land, and create a new kind of Jew—strong and proud—in an independent state of their own.1 Second was the growing need for a place of refuge in the land of Zion for persecuted

  • 8-IS3.2 Salzbergers (159-192)
    Fania Oz-Salzberger and Eli Salzberger The Secret German Sources of the Israeli Supreme Court THERE ARE SEVERAL GOOD REASONS for the recent mounting interest in the history of Israel’s legal and judicial system. Israel is going through an era of enhanced legalization, which is apparent in stronger emphases on consti- tutional norms and discourse, in the increasing strength of legal institu- tions, and in a greater public sense of the powers of litigation. Gone is the traditional contempt for resorting to the court that characterized the ruling Labor movement during Israel’s formative years. The law and the courts have become one of the country’s most signiWcant political establishments. The legal professions have acquired unprecedented prestige. Lawyers and judges have become media celebrities as never before. Above all, the Su- preme Court of Israel is emerging as the dominant branch of government. It is moving center-stage in the collective decision-making process in Israel, aVording an unusual degree of intervention in the conduct of the other branches of government, and thus attracting ever greater attention, as well as criticism, from the Israeli media and public. The question why all this has happened is yet to be answered. On top of the inherent weakness of judicial branches of most governments,1 in Israel the lack of a written constitution could be expected to make the Supreme Court even more fragile and dependent than equivalent institu- tions elsewhere. Yet a close look at the reaction of the legislative and executive branches of government in Israel to the growing power of the Supreme Court would lead to opposite conclusions.

During the First World War, the passport came into use as a key method of controlling the movement of populations and restricting freedom of movement. Nowadays, through the use of passports, states exercise almost absolute control over their citizens’ ability to travel internationally. Currently, no one even questions that criminals, minors or those seeking to shirk their civic duties may be restricted or even barred from leaving their respective countries. However, during the 1950s, several democratic countries, including Israel, restricted foreign travel by their citizens even on other grounds.

  • Why Did Hannah Arendt Reject the Partition of Palestine?
    JOURNAL FOR CULTURAL RESEARCH, 2013 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14797585.2013.768472 Why did Hannah Arendt Reject the Partition of Palestine? Eric Jacobson The political philosopher Hannah Arendt actively engaged in the problem of a Jewish homeland and the politics of Zionism in the years 1941–1948. She advocated a Binational solution to Palestine – a single political commonwealth with two national identities, Jewish and Arab, integrated in a federation with other countries in the region. In the crucial period leading up to the establish- ment of the State of Israel, Arendt became increasingly disillusioned with the Jewish Agency and the Zionist movement for failing to organize a Jewish response to Nazism (a Jewish Army) and rejecting the Palestinian right to a homeland. Gardez-vous bien, Messieurs les Sionistes, un gouvernement passe, mais un peuple reste.1 For more than two decades, Arendt was engaged with aspects of Jewish thought and culture which today would not be unfamiliar to Jewish Studies. Her writings from the late 1920s into the mid-1930s concerned German–Jewish intellectual history in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. She worked with the Zionist movement in France to help youth immigration to Palestine in the 1930s and wrote extensively on Zionism in the 1940s. In the 1950s, her research culminated in a major work on Antisemitism and its origins in colo- nialism and race theory, The Origins of Totalitarianism. She was editor of arguably the most important Judaic publisher, Salman Schocken, and contrib- uted to the publication in English of works by Gershom Scholem, Franz Kafka, 1.

  • Settler Colonialism and the Making of Palestinian Citizenship in Israel
    ARTICLES CITZENSHIP AS DOMINATION: SETTLER COLONIALISM AND THE MAKING OF PALESTINIAN CITIZENSHIP IN ISRAEL By Lana Tatour During the 1948 war, over two thirds of the Palestinian population became refugees. A small, defeated minority remained in what became the state of Israel. It is no secret that the state did not want these Palestinians. As the Zionist adage goes, Israel wanted the dowry (the land) but not the bride (the Palestinian people).1 Te adage holds true to this day. Beginning with the establishment of Israel and continuing until 1966, the Israeli state subjected Palestinians in territories under Israeli control to a Military Government regime and an elaborate system of surveillance.2 At the same time, Israel extended sufrage and then citizenship to some, but not all, of those Palestinians. Despite the award of citizenship, the Israeli state did not regard Palestinians as indigenous to the space or as natural subjects of rights. Tis view of Palestinians has not changed. In 2018, seventy years afer the establishment of the Jewish state, the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, adopted the Basic Law: Israel—the Nation-State of the Jewish People, also known as the Nation-State Law. Te law, which enjoys constitutional status, Lana Tatour is the Ibrahim Abu-Lughod Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Palestine Studies at Columbia University. 8 Lana Tatour determines that “the exercise of the right to national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish People.”3 It enshrines the existing state symbols, such as the fag and the national anthem; confrms Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel; demotes Arabic from an ofcial language to one with “special status”; and legalizes the ongoing practice of establish- ing Jewish-only settlements.
