The Palestinian Forum for Israeli Studies
This book analyzes the political scene in Israel in light of the 2013 parliamentary elections, concluding that the elections didn’t succeed in getting Israel out of the state of political instability which is signified by the high frequency of party shifts and the fragmentation of the political map, which leads to a parliament with many small sized blocs, lacking a large bloc that can be a strong pillar for power.
هذا تقرير بحثي عن الاستراتيجية الإسرائيلية تجاه الأغوار يستعرض الواقع الاحتلالي في الأغوار في سياقه التاريخي، وخلفياته، وما شهده من تغيرات، راصدًا تفاصيل السياسات الاقتلاعية المركبة التي تعتمدها إسرائيل لإحكام السيطرة عليه، والتضييق على الفلسطينيين فيه، وحرمانهم من استغلال أرضهم ومياههم.
This book presents a critical study of one aspect of the ‘Grand Zionist Narrative’ which serves, explicitly as well as implicitly, as a collective conscience to the whole Israeli society.
In the preface, the author explains that school books in Israel are written for youngsters who will be drafted into joining compulsory military service at 18 years of age and carry out the Israeli policy of occupation in the Palestinian territories. The concern of the study is not to describe Israeli education as a whole but rather to focus on one specific question: how are Palestine and the Palestinians against whom these young Israelis will potentially be required to use force, portrayed in school books?
From a structural perspective, it appears that the situation represented by the ethnocratic governance system remains dominant in Israel. The recent period has witnessed significant events continuously affecting the relations between Jews and Palestinians. However, these events have not curbed or changed the processes of "repressive consolidation" and "creeping apartheid" that were emphasized in the book. In this regard, after some consideration, one can conclude that the analyses and ideas presented in the book "Ethnocracy" have proven to be accurate and credible.
This book examines the fact that, four decades after the occupation, almost everybody, either in political discourse or within academic circles, continues to view the occupation as a temporary condition and incidental characteristic of the Israeli regime. This ensures that the question of whether Israel is willing to put an end to the occupation is absented in favour of talking about the prerequisites to do so.

This book includes papers presented at a symposium organized by the Palestinian Forum for Israeli Studies (MADAR) with the support of the PLO Negotiations Affairs Unit, on the issue of “The Jewish State” and its multiple, covert and introvert connotations and sides, in light of the repeated Israeli demand from the Palestinians and Arabs to recognize Israel as a Jewish state as a precondition to negotiations.
