| Opening Remarks |
|
We open this month with a short briefing on our legal activities in 2006. The Supreme Court (S.Ct.) issued three landmark decisions on our petitions. In 12/06, it cancelled a racist law denying the rights of Palestinians harmed by the Israeli military in the OPTs to receive compensation from Israel. In 2/06, eight years after the petition was filed, the S.Ct. annulled a governmental decision establishing “National Priority Areas,” finding that it discriminates against Arab citizens on the basis of national belonging. Also in 2/06, five years after the indictment of MK Dr. Azmi Bishara for his political speeches, the S.Ct. decided that parliamentary immunity applies to those speeches. The S.Ct. also delivered flawed decisions in two of our major cases. In 5/06, it upheld the racist Citizenship Law banning the unification of Palestinian families in Israel. In 2007, we will continue to be engaged in the Citizenship Law, and in the revocation of the residency status of Palestinian parliament members from Jerusalem. In 12/06, the S.Ct. also decided that enormous state financial support to former soldiers for home mortgages does not discriminate against Arab citizens. We are also continuing with this legal struggle, and within days we will ask for a second hearing in the case. In 10/06, we published “The Accused” report, which proved the Police Investigation Unit’s (“Mahash”) dangerous failures in investigating the October 2000 killings. In 1/06, we also published the inaugural volume of “Makan: Adalah’s Journal for Land, Planning and Justice”.
