First, we would at least need a citation for the claim that israel is a democracy as described. Second it is challenged that Israel is a democracy, given its defacto annexation of the occupied territories and apartheid system recognized by virtually all respected human rights organizations.DMH43 (talk)17:05, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The references probably shouldn't have been removed/replaced, and is itWP:DUE to add "Israel is seen as being more politically free and democratic than neighboring countries in the Middle East"?IOHANNVSVERVS (talk)23:35, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some additional comments:
"some of whom report discrimination" is vague and does not provide any details or a citation
"successiveIsraeli governments have" is unnecessarily wordy, "Israel has" is better
Criticism has been international and domestic and includes human rights groups
I would be fine keeping your revert about the basic law, although I think it should be elaborated on.
The section titled "Attitudes towards Israel by human rights organizations, the media, and academia" does not belong in this article. I propose we move this information toCriticism of Israel. Also the use of "attitude" is awkward in this context and to me indicates POV.DMH43 (talk)17:26, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Copy pasting some information from the hebrew version of this page which is not on the english site. It does not seem well sourced in Hebrew though, so it will take some work to incorporate it (from google trnslate):
Against the efforts to improve human rights in Israel over the years, it is necessary to note the permanent state of emergency in which it is and its effects on the realization and respect of human rights. The origin of this permanent state of emergency lies inthe defense regulations (time of emergency) enacted by the British duringthe Mandate period and accepted as they are after the establishment of the state in1948 , and their meaning is the existence of a permanentstate of emergency in Israel, according to section 9 ofthe Order of Government and Justice (and laterthe Basic Law : the government ).
Over the years, various laws and decrees have been enacted in Israel that reduce human rights while relying on the existence of the state of emergency. Among these laws can be mentioned the reduction of the rights set forth in theWorking Hours and Rest Law , restrictions on leaving the country, seizure of real estate, the Emergency Powers Law regarding arrests (which allows foradministrative arrests without trial), restrictions onfreedom of expression , restrictionson the right to strike, and more. In total, over the years, the Knesset established nine laws and 165 restrictive orders that can be activated as a result of the activation of the state of emergency.
In1999, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel petitioned theHigh Court of Justice demanding the cancellation of the state of emergency in Israel. The High Court accepted the petition and gave the government several extensions to remedy the situation and, above all, to sever the link between legislation restricting rights and the declaration of a state of emergency. In2008, Supreme Court President DoritBinish criticized the government's pace of work in dealing with these laws and orders. In2013 , the High Court rejected the petition and stated that the decision to declare a state of emergency depends on political considerations and there is no room for the court to interfere in it. At the same time, the court noted that the petition played an important role in expediting the legislative procedures necessary to correct the situation. The Joint Committee on the Constitution and the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee It has been working since2009 to reduce the state of emergency laws and as of2017 there are 27 laws and orders remaining, some of which still violate various human rights.DMH43 (talk)22:17, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Typo (can’t edit because I don’t have enough Wikipedia backlog
Something of possible interest to include in the freedom of speech section of this article:
AfterAmos Schocken, the publisher of theHaaretz newspaper, called for international sanctions against Israel to put pressure for acceptance of a two-state solution and an end to ethnic cleansing, Israel's justice ministerYariv Levin demanded a new law imposing up to 20 years prison sentences for any Israelis who call for sanctions.
