Notes From a Crumbling Democracy

Local Government: November 13, 2012

The Jerusalem Municipality plans to evict 120 Bedouin from the village of Arab al Qurshan in order to make room for a waste landfill. The 120 villagers have lived in the small village, situated between Isawiyah and Shoafat, for the past 40 years. (Haaretz)

About Us

These are translations of items from the Hebrew Slippery Slope blog, which documents the decline of Israeli democracy. The Slope collects isolated incidents, which together draw the picture of a crumbling democracy – violation of human rights, bad governance, corruption, and police brutality. The various news media report these incidents; we connect the dots.

Translations were provided by a team of volunteers. Links in the posts often point only to the original Hebrew sources, unless an equivalent English source is available. Read more
