	Politics of Israel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the legislative branch of the Israeli government, the Knesset enacts laws, supervises the work of the government, and has the power to vote to remove the President of the State and the State Comptroller from office, or to dissolve itself by calling for an early election.
		The Monitor Committee of Israeli Arabs: an Arab group, claiming to represent the interests of the Arab minority in Israel, tend to be seperatists and hence perceived as hostile by the Jewish majority and have little influence in politics.
		The Ministry of Defense is responsible for the administration of the disputed territories.

	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Loshitzky, Identity Politics on the Israeli Screen
		A transition from a "politics of ideas" to a "politics of identity" is perhaps the major change that Israeli society has experienced in recent years.
		Rather, it is an attempt both to discuss the projection and negotiation of Israeli identity through an analysis of major Israeli films, particularly from the 1980s and 1990s, that constitute unique sites of struggle over identity formation and meaning and to open and broaden further the public space for debating this issue.
		It does not deal with the rise of religion as a major force in Israeli society, culture, and politics; the new wave of immigration from the former Soviet Union; the Ethiopian immigration; and foreign workers, which as yet are not salient topics in Israeli film.

	The Religious-Secular Divide in Israeli Politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Israelis are divided between the religious (ultraorthodox and modern Orthodox) on the one hand and the secularist on the other, with many in the middle not defined as either.
		The Israeli political map is divided along a left- right horizontal axis and a secular-religious vertical axis.
		But the political payoff was the election result: The coalition of the Islamic movement and the Arab Democratic party increased its power in the Knesset to five seats; Hadash's representation was reduced to three.

	Israel's Assassination Policy - Israeli Politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In four of the past five suicide bombings, the timing of the bombing, the fact that group whose senior militant was assassinated carried out the attack, and the explicit claim of revenge for the assassination in all of these cases leave little room for doubt about cause and effect.
		Nor should anyone believe that Israeli political and intelligence officials who planned and implemented the assassinations were surprised by the ensuing suicide attacks.
		But a nearly certain predictor for a suicide bombing is when Israel assassinates a senior commander or political leader of a militant group, especially when it does so during or in the negotiations for a truce by these groups on attacks on Israelis.

		ISRAELI GOVERNMENTAL AND POLITICAL structures stem from certain premises and institutional arrangements generally associated with West European parliamentary democracies, East European and Central European institutions and traditions, and even some Middle Eastern sociopolitical patterns.
		The legitimacy of Israeli society and the identification by the majority Jewish population with the state and its institutions rest on several foundations: Zionist Jewish nationalism, the existence of an outside threat to Israeli security, Judaism, collectivism, and democracy.
		The Israeli political system is characterized by certain West European democratic arrangements: elected government, multiparty competition, a high level of voter participation in local and national elections, an independent judiciary that is the country's foremost guardian of civil liberties, a vigorous and free press, and the supremacy of civilian rule.

	Aljazeera.Net - New party urges non-Jews' expulsion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Dozens of right-wing Israeli leaders have announced the creation of a new political party which founders say will be dedicated to the expulsion of millions of Muslims and Christians from Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.
		However, with Israeli society as a whole drifting to the right especially since the election of Ariel Sharon as prime minister more than three years ago, the movement has come to enjoy an influence far exceeding its actual size.
		Sharkansky suggested to Aljazeera.net that the current political environment in Israel was increasingly conducive to the growth of Kach, in light of the near takeover of the Likud by right-wing extremists who oppose the planned withdrawal from Gaza, the dismantling of Jewish settlements and the creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank.

		Ehud Sprinzak, a noted Israeli political scientist, shows that these elements have been present within his nation from its founding; right-wing violence has accelerated in recent years thanks to the Oslo peace accords and nonstop Palestinian terrorism.
		While he clearly identifies himself as a Laborite, he soundly condemns all political violence, AND simultaneously seems to give the impression that he sympathizes with many of the people he describes- not because he approves of what they do, but rather, he understands the frustration that drives them to their actions.
		Political violence roiled the Jewish state from its beginning, and Ehud Sprinzak gives context to today's turmoil in Brother against Brother: Violence and Extremism in Israeli Politics from Altalena to the Rabin Assassination.
