Templat:Orang Israel Kritikan kerajaan Israel, selalu dirujuk sebagai kritikan Israel,[1][2][3] ialah perkara ulasan dan penyelidikan kewartawanan dan ilmiah yang berlaku dalam ruang lingkup teori hubungan antarabangsa, dinyatakan dalam istilah sains politik. Dalam ruang lingkup aspirasi sejagat bagi masyarakat negara, Israel telah menghadapi kritikan antarabangsa sejak its perisytiharan penubuhannya pada tahun 1948 behubungan dengan berbagai-bagai perkara,[4][5][6][6][7] kedua-duanya sejarah dan sezaman.
Kerajaan Israel telah dikritik atas isu-isu tentang petempatan Israel di wilayah Palestin, its memperlakukan orang Arab Palestin, kelakuan Angkatan Pertahanan Israel semasa konflik dan sekatan Genting Gaza,[8] dengan kesannya terhadap ekonomi wilayah Palestin. Isu-isu sejarah yang lain dengan akibat yang sedang berlaku juga telah dikritik termasuk: penolakan membenarkan pelarian Palestin pascaperang untuk kembali ke rumah mereka, dan pendudukan wilayah berpanjangan dapat dalam perang dan pembinaan petempatan di dalamnya.
Status Israel sebagai demokrasi perwakilan juga telah dipersoalkan kerana penduduk Israel di wilayah pendudukan dibenarkan mengundi di pilihan raya Israel manakala penduduk Palestinian pula tidak.[9][10][11] Sumber kritikan lain ialah pergeseran tertimbul oleh isu peluk agaama antara kerabaian Ortodoks Israel dan bahagian bukan Ortodoks diaspora Yahudi. Pada satu hujung lingkungan ialah percubaan menyahsahkan hak wujud Israel.[12][13][14] Hal ini membawa kepada perbahasan yang sedang berlaku berhubungan pada tempat titik kritikan Israel melepasi garis anti-Semitisme. Salah satu kesan kritikan antarabangsa telah menjadi kesan terhadap psikologi sosial orang awam Yahudi Israel - menurut satu tinjauan lebih daripada separuh orang Israel mempercayai "seluruh dunia menentangi kami", dan tiga suku orang Israeli mempercayai "bahawa macama mana pun Israel buat atau betapa jauh ia pergi menuju menyelesaikan konflik dengan orang Palestin, dunia akan terus mengkritik Israel".[15]
Kritikan dasar-dasar Israel datang daripada beberapa kumpulan: terutamanya daripada aktivis, dalam Israel dan seluruh dunia, Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu dan pertubuhan bukan kerajaan lain termasuk gereja Eropah, dan media massa. Berat sebelah media selalu didakwa oleh kedua-dua belah bahas. Sejak tahun 2003, PBB telah mengeluarkan 232 ketetapan berhubung dengan Israel, 40% daripada semua ketetapan yang dikeluarkan oleh PBB sepanjang masa dan lebih daripada enam kali dengan negara tempat kedua, Sudan.[16]
The ubiquitous rubric "criticism of Israel," however, has also come to designate another kind of discourse--one that has almost become a politico-rhetorical genre unto itself, with its own identifiable vocabulary, narrative conventions, and predictable outcomes
This essay analyses the criticism of Israel on issues of rights, pluralism, equality and minorities. It views issues, such as the 1948 war, the treatment of Misrachi Jews and raises the question if a Jewish state is racist and colonialistic and excludes minorities, such as Arab Israelis
The term “criticism of Israel” continued to be used as a catch-all defense against the raising of Jewish concerns about antisemitic manifestations, public speakers, groups, websites, agitprop and other phenomena
The Jewish nation of Israel stands accused in the dock of international justice. The charges include being a criminal state, the prime violator of human rights, the mirror image of Nazism, and the most intransigent barrier to peace in the Middle East. Throughout the world, from the chambers of the United Nations to the campuses of universities, Israel is singled out for condemnation, divestment, boycott and demonization.
For a tiny nation of little more than six and a half million citizens living in an area roughly the size of New Jersey, Israel has proportionally more enemies than any nation on earth. No nation has been threatened more often with divestment, boycotts, and other sanctions. No nation has generated more protests against it on college and university campuses. No nation has been targeted for as much editorial abuse from the worldwide media. No nation has been subjected to more frequent threats of annihilation. No nation has had more genocidal incitements directed against its citizens. It is remarkable indeed that a democratic nation born in response to a decision of the United Nations should still not be accepted by so many countries, groups, and individuals. No other UN member is threatened with physical destruction by other member states so openly and with so little rebuke from the General Assembly or the Security Council. Indeed, no nation, regardless of its size or the number of deaths it has caused, has been condemned as often by the UN and its constituent bodies. Simply put, no nation is hated as much as the Jewish nation.
You look toward the United Nations, which Ambassador Dore Gold calls 'the Tower of Babble'. You look at Europe, where the ghost of Hitler is again walking across the stage of history. You open your newspapers and read about American universities, where Israel is being vilified by students taught by professors whose Middle Eastern chairs are sponsored by Saudi Arabia. You look to America's mainline churches and see their initiatives to divest from Israel. You go to the bookstore and see slanderous titles by the former president of the United States - and you feel very much alone.
Ilan Pappé: No, Israel is definitely not a democracy. A country that occupies another people for more than 40 years and disallow them the most elementary civic and human rights cannot be a democracy. A country that pursues a discriminatory policy against a fifth of its Palestinian citizens inside the 67 borders cannot be a democracy. In fact Israel is, what we use to call in political science a Herrenvolk democracy, its democracy only for the masters. The fact that you allow people to participate in the formal side of democracy, namely to vote or to be elected, is useless and meaningless if you don’t give them any share in the common good or in the common resources of the State, or if you discriminate against them despite the fact that you allow them to participate in the elections. On almost every level from official legislation through governmental practices, and social and cultural attitudes, Israel is only a democracy for one group, one ethnic group, that given the space that Israel now controls, is not even a majority group anymore, so I think that you’ll find it very hard to use any known definition of democracy which will be applicable for the Israeli case.
Whether it ends the occupation and discrimination against Arab citizens within its borders will alter our perception of whether the nation began as an imperfect democracy or a false one. Today's political battles, strangely enough, will determine not only its future but also its past.
Israel might be the only country in the world whose right to exist is debated and whose future is questioned. Can you imagine anyone asking whether the United States will survive or whether it should exist? Or anyone saying "no" if asked?
