Annual Reports

Summary:
This political monitoring report, the first of its kind, examines the attitudes of the State of Israel and of the Israeli Jewish public toward Palestinian citizens in Israel and how those attitudes have changed since the beginning of the al-Aqsa uprising and the October 2000 protests. The report examines and traces the manifestations of the official policy and political discourse in four areas: legislation and resolutions in the Knesset, government policies, public opinion, and the “popular culture of hate”.

This report covers the period from September 2000 to the end of December 2002, and attempts to present a precise image of Israeli society and of the slippery course along which it is moving in dealing with the Palestinian citizens. The facts presented in this report come from diverse research and news sources both electronic and print, such as the Knesset website, government websites, major Hebrew-language daily newspapers (Ha’aretz, Yediot Aharonot, and Ma’ariv), Arabic-language newspapers, and websites specializing in Israeli news.

The book is published in Arabic, English and Hebrew.
