    Columbia University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Human Rights Studies Master of Arts Program Silencing “Breaking the Silence”: The Israeli government’s agenda respecting human rights NGOs activism since 2009 Ido Dembin Thesis Adviser: Prof. Yinon Cohen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 12 September, 2018 Abstract This research examines a key aspect in the deterioration of Israeli democracy between 2009-2018. Mainly, it looks at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Right-wing governments utilization of legislative procedure to limit the right to free speech. The aspects of the right to free speech discussed here pertain to dissenting and critical activism against these government’s policies. The suppression of said right is manifested in the marginalization, delegitimization and ultimately silencing of its expression in Human Rights NGOs activism. To demonstrate this, the research presents a case study of one such NGO – “Breaking the Silence” – and the legal and political actions designed to cause its eventual ousting from mainstream Israeli discourse. The research focuses on the importance and uniqueness of this NGO, as well as the ways in which the government perceives and acts against it. First, it analyzes the NGO’s history, modus operandi and goals, emphasizing the uniqueness that makes it a particularly fascinating case. Then, it researches the government’s specific interest in crippling and limiting its influence. Finally, it highlights the government’s toolbox and utilization thereof against it. By shining a light on this case, the research seeks to show the process of watering down of a fundamental right within Israeli democracy – which is instrumental to understanding the state’s risk of decline towards illiberal democracy.

  • Alliance in Crisis
    ALLIANCE IN CRISIS: Israel’s Standing in the World and the Question of Isolation Research and Writing Assaf Sharon Shivi Greenfield Mikhael Manekin Oded Naaman Jesse Rothman Dahlia Shaham Design: Yosef Bercovich Design: Yosef Alliance in Crisis _ 2 Executive Summary Israel's international standing has been the focus of attention for many years. Is Israel moving towards international isolation? Can one quantify the effects of the widely discussed boycotts on Israel's economy? What can be done to put an end to Israel's rapidly deteriorating relations with the US and Europe? These are questions that rightly occupy the thoughts of many Israelis as well as the country's leadership. Yet despite the issues’ importance, the conversation on Israel's foreign relations lacks depth and is often based on slogans rather than empirical data. The discussion oscillates between apocalyptic warnings on the one hand, and dangerous complacency on the other. This report analyzes Israel's international relations with the goal of arriving at a clear understanding of Israel's current status in the world, and aims to identify the specific threats and opportunities it faces. It focuses on the three arenas of diplomacy, economics, and culture. The principle findings are as follows: Israel's international standing is an unprecedented success story. Since Israel's establishment, every head of state has understood the importance of ties with the US and Europe, especially given Israel's regional political isolation. The world has shown that it is interested in close ties with Israel. Israel’s central role in the international community in a variety of fields – from science and culture to security and diplomacy – is a remarkable accomplishment.

  • Livney Volunteer from the USA on the “Exodus 1947”
    1 Avi (Lifshitz) Livney Volunteer from the USA on the “Exodus 1947” This is the Way it Was Born April 26 1927 in New York City, USA. Served in the Hospital Corps, US Navy, 1945-46. Served in the Mosad for Aliya Bet from January 1947 to 1948. Joined the President Warfield (“Exodus 1947”) in Baltimore in January as ship’s purser/ pharmacist. Two weeks later, in a ceremony on the ship’s deck, the entire crew was sworn in to the Hagana by Yaakov Dori (Dostrovsky). Six months later we were in a night-time naval engagement against six British destroyers and a light cruiser. I was stunned by the sight of British marines actually gassing and clubbing unarmed men, women and children, the remnant of our people, whose only crime was that they were trying to go home. I could only think that the people doing the gassing and clubbing (and killing) were the same people that I had so greatly admired during England’s dark days of the early 1940’s. What had happened to the fair play learned on the playing fields of Eton? After our return to Port de Bouc from Palestine, I was instructed to get off the “Ocean Vigour” (one of the three British prison ships), and joined the “Pan York” (Kibbutz Galuyot) in Marseilles. Sailed to Safi, Morocco and up to Brest, where we were told of the sabotage bombing of the “Pan Crescent” (Atzmaut) in Venice. Three of us were sent there by way of Paris, Marseilles and crossed into Italy by rowboat in the middle of the night, from Monte Carlo to Ventimiglia, and traveled on to Milan.
