State Of Israel

The State of Israel came into being forty years ago. Its Declaration of Independence proclaimed that the State “shall guarantee complete equal social and political rights to all its citizens without regard to religion, race or sex”. At the time there was a war being waged for Israel's independence, a war which is not yet over. The threat to Israel's security, both from within and without, is still very real. The struggle for security has been going on, unabated, for forty years, and it exacts a price. Among other things, it exacts a price in human rights. Freedom of expression, for example, is subject to military censorship. As a British judge once remarked, war is not waged in accord with the principles of the Magna Carta.

State Of Israel

This chapter covers the period between World War II and 1967. In many ways 1948 was a decisive moment in the foreign policies of American Jews. This is the year that two different solutions to the Jewish Problem and the Jewish Question took firm institutional shape—the State of Israel and the creation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. American Jews were involved in both developments. In retrospect, two elements stand out in this period. After decades of worrying about the tensions between nationalism and cosmopolitanism, they began to relax. It also is surprising how little the creation of Israel affected American Jewry, and that tepidness stems partly from the fact that American Jews had never been die-hard nationalists.

State Of Israel

Palestine’s issue has been one of the most vibrant issues of the Muslim Ummah thou out the Islamic history.  It has contracted more attraction and reflection in contemporary era due to its sensitivity and global politics.  Masjid Aqsa is considered as a scared and blessed place for Muslims due to prophets’ birth and death places, and also station of Isrā and M’erāj (A sacred journey of the Holy Prophet ﷺ) from Makah to Aqsa and Aqsa to heaven with Allah’s meeting of the last Prophet (ﷺ). Moreover, this place is equally significant for Muslims and Jews communities both for their religious claims and commitments. Jews made claim on Masjid Aqsa due to its historical and religious importance. Most interesting thing is that, where Masjid Aqsa is a blessed and sacred place as well as, it is a basic reason of conflict and dispute between Muslims and Jews since establishment of the State of Israel. Jews claim, here was temple of Suleiman (A.S) under the foundations of Masjid Aqsa and Muslims claim, it is blessed and sacred masjid which was first Qiblah of Muslims and Haram also. Historically and religiously it is right of Muslims and Jews are hurting the religious sentiments of the Muslim which is wrong and violations of the Muslims religious and human rights. This study is an effort to analyze the historical and religious arguments of Muslims and Jews about ownership of the Masjid Aqsa and presents a solution regarding Palestine issue in contemporary era. The analytical, historical and comparative approaches have been adopted in this research with qualitative approach.

Initial Transmission

This article focuses on faxes as techno-social activity, and on the part they play in infrastructures of mediation. It anthropologically examines how document transmissions function as practices of power and its undoing, using the case of anti-occupation Israeli NGOs that document human rights violations in the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. The article ethnographically traces the initial transmission of documents (mainly testimonies) to the office from the field, and the eventual transmission of legal documents (mainly complaints) from NGOs to the state of Israel, practices that constitute symmetries between state and NGO bureaucracies. This odd mirroring raises questions about what we take for granted about a shared infrastructure of communication.

On December 12, 2019, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (the Committee) issued its decision on the question of jurisdiction in the inter-state communication submitted by the State of Palestine against Israel. It is among the three first inter-state communications ever before human rights treaty bodies and therefore sets numerous precedents on matters of procedure and in this case, on the question of jurisdiction and the unique nature of the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (the Convention)—the first of a series of treaties codifying and expanding the scope of human rights law.
