Nazareth<\/strong> – As the Arab world rids itself of autocrats one after the other, a series of legal and political moves by Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s rightwing government to stifle criticism of its policies have prompted warnings that Israel is rapidly heading towards a system of authoritarian rule.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, the Israeli government has put forward measures to muzzle the media, shut down human rights groups, and seize control of appointments to the supreme court to fill it with rightwing judges.<\/p>\n

The concerted push against bodies traditionally regarded as the chief watchdogs of executive power comes amid wider concerns that the political climate in Israel \u2013 traditionally hostile to Palestinians under occupation and inside Israel \u2013 is now also turning against leftwing opponents of the government among the Jewish population.<\/p>\n

Last week an Israeli commentator compared Netanyahu to Valdimir Putin, the Russian leader widely criticised for being a strongman, while another analyst warned: \u201cThe fears [in Israel] unleashed by the Arab Spring have brought Netanyahu closer than ever to perpetuating his rule and to crushing Israel’s \u2018old elites\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dov Khenin, a leftwing member of the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, has raised similar concerns: \u201cThe government has launched a comprehensive assault on democracy, led not by Knesset members from the margins of the right wing but by the prime minister himself. \u2026[Netanyahu] is changing the fundamental rules of democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most at risk from the planned changes are Palestinians under Israeli occupation and the 1.5 million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship. Critics warn that with democratic controls removed, and monitoring bodies silenced, Israel will have a free hand to intensify abuses in the occupied territories and entrench its discriminatory policies inside Israel.<\/p>\n

The new political atmosphere in Israel has prompted additional concerns that the government is further straining already tense relations with Washington \u2013 a fear heightened by remarks reportedly made by Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, this month during a closed meeting of the Saban Forum in Washington.<\/p>\n

She is said both to have decried Israel\u2019s threats to hamper the work of human rights groups by ending foreign donations and to have expressed concern at the growing power of fundamentalist Jewish religious groups that seek to enforce strict \u201cmodesty\u201d rules on women and gender segregation in public.<\/p>\n

Haaretz<\/em>, Israel\u2019s liberal daily, warned in response that the changes in Israel\u2019s political and social landscape were becoming a \u201cstrategic threat\u2026endangering Israel’s relations with its supporters in the West, and especially the American political establishment and Jewish community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latest target has been the Israeli media, selected for new restrictions and intimidation in part, say critics, because Netanyahu and many of his political allies have been the subject of reports of improper and illegal behaviour.<\/p>\n

Last year a survey by Haifa University found that 70 percent of Israelis thought Netanyahu\u2019s government was either highly or moderately corrupt, placing it only slightly behind the previous government of Ehud Olmert. A series of scandals forced Olmert to resign in 2008, leading to his being charged with fraud, breach of trust, forgery and tax evasion.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, have been accused of accepting trips abroad paid for by private business interests while he was serving as a legislator and then a government minister.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu came under similar suspicions during his first term as prime minister in the late 1990s, though prosecutors did not seek a conviction. The allegations, however, forced him to withdraw from politics for two years.<\/p>\n

But even more serious for Netanyahu is a growing consensus that corruption has become endemic among Israel\u2019s political class.<\/p>\n

A large number of respondents in the Haifa University poll disapproved especially strongly of the appointment of Avigdor Lieberman to the position of foreign minister while he is under criminal investigation. Earlier this year state prosecutors recommended Lieberman be charged with fraud, money-laundering, breach of trust and witness tampering.<\/p>\n

However, media coverage of such investigations is likely to be severely curtailed by a bill announced by the government last week. Already nicknamed the \u201cConcealment Law,\u201d it threatens journalists, law officers and public officials with up to three years imprisonment for publicising a criminal investigation.<\/p>\n

The bill bans the reporting of all documents related to an investigation, and the restrictions remain in place even after an indictment has been filed unless a senior official overturns them.<\/p>\n

Dalia Dorner, a former supreme court judge who now heads the Israel Press Council, accused the government last week of \u201ctrying to gag the media.\u201d The Haaretz<\/em> newspaper warned that blacking out coverage would \u201cassist mainly suspects in high office.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bill follows close on the heels of Netanyahu\u2019s decision effectively to shut down Channel 10, one of Israel\u2019s two main commercial television stations, which has earned a reputation for its relatively independent news coverage.<\/p>\n

Officials at Channel 10 claimed last month that Netanyahu had threatened to call in a debt of US$11 million immediately unless the management removed a senior journalist, Raviv Drucker, who brought to light the most recent allegations against Netanyahu.<\/p>\n

The government\u2019s demand for immediate repayment of a sum considered small given that the channel has lost its shareholders more than US$340 million over the past decade \u2013 and a decision that is expected to put 2,500 employees out of work \u2013 was characterised by one political analyst as \u201ctransparent vengeance.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was designed, said Yossi Verter, to send a message from Netanyahu that \u201cAnyone who dares cross the line, publicly criticize, or broadcast a lethal investigative report will meet a bitter fate.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a similar vein last month, Netanyahu promoted an amendment to widen the scope of Israel\u2019s defamation law and expose the Israeli media, including bloggers, to a sixfold increase in financial penalties. Those suing would not need to prove that they had suffered damage.<\/p>\n

Denying accusations that he was creating a \u201cthought police,\u201d Netanyahu told the parliament he was establishing instead the \u201cpublication of truth law.\u201d<\/p>\n

But even allies of the prime minister have criticised the measure. Tzipi Hotovely of the ruling Likud party called the legislation \u201cdraconian,\u201d saying it was \u201clike using a hammer to kill a fly.\u201d<\/p>\n

All these measures follow the government\u2019s success over summer in passing the boycott law, which has limited free speech and opposition to the occupation. Anyone promoting a boycott of Israel or the illegal settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, including journalists, can be sued for large damages.<\/p>\n

Equally troubling have been moves to curb the work of Israel\u2019s human rights groups. Pressure in the government to clamp down on the organizations has been building since Israel\u2019s three-week attack on Gaza in winter 2008, which killed some 1,400 Palestinians.<\/p>\n

The human rights community in Israel is widely seen as having assisted in what the government and its supporters term \u201clawfare\u201d \u2013 or efforts to hold Israel to account for its actions under international law \u2013 and international \u201cdelegitimization\u201d campaigns.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu and his officials were particularly concerned about the involvement of Israeli human rights groups in helping a United Nations team of legal experts, led by Judge Richard Goldstone, to draft a report into the Gaza attack that accused Israel and Hamas of committing war crimes.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu has quietly supported two private bills aimed at curtailing foreign funding to Israel\u2019s human rights groups, particularly those monitoring abuses committed against Palestinians by the Israeli security services.<\/p>\n

One would end the main source of income for many of the groups by effectively banning donations from the European Union. The other would subject private donations to a crippling 45 percent tax.<\/p>\n

The author of the first bill, Ofir Akunis, a Likud legislator and Netanyahu\u2019s former spokesman, defended the funding restrictions by extolling Joseph McCarthy, whose name is indelibly associated with the witchhunts he carried out in the US in the 1950s to define political opponents as subversives.<\/p>\n

The two bills are currently being reviewed by Netanyahu after his attorney general, Yehuda Weinstein, warned that he would not be able to defend them before the supreme court. The US and Europe have also issued stiff rebukes to Netanyahu over the measures.<\/p>\n

But human rights group fear that Netanyahu is waiting to revive the bills at a time when they will face less public scrutiny. The stakes are particularly high for Palestinians, as Yitzhak Laor observed in Haaretz<\/em>: \u201cThis bill truly intends to create a democracy for Jews only. If it were passed, no Arab \u2013 whether resident of the territories or Israeli citizen \u2013 would have access to the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Laor notes, the human rights community has made its mark not only in international advocacy but also in embarrassing the government through court actions, particularly in relation to the occupation.<\/p>\n

This, say critics, explains other moves by Netanyahu\u2019s government to increase its control of the country\u2019s supreme court. The court has become a key battleground because several judges are due to retire in the next few months, opening up an opportunity for the right to appoint a batch of like-minded judges.<\/p>\n

The most significant measure is a bill \u2013 backed by the justice minister, Yaacov Neeman \u2013 that would skew the composition of the judicial appointments committee to ensure a rightwing majority on the bench.<\/p>\n

Yariv Levin, of Netanyahu\u2019s Likud party, who sponsored the bill, said: \u201cWe want to fundamentally change the Supreme Court and to get it away from the control of the leftist radical elite that is controlling it and return it to the people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The right\u2019s favored candidate for the court is Noam Sohlberg, a district court judge and resident of a West Bank settlement who has repeatedly ruled against human rights groups.<\/p>\n

His decision to deny residency to 15-year-old twin boys whose parents and siblings are Israeli residents and live in Jerusalem \u2013 thereby threatening to split the family \u2013 made headlines last month.<\/p>\n

At the same time, 51 high-profile Israelis, including a handful of laureates of the Israel Prize, Israel\u2019s top honour, petitioned Dorit Beinisch, the head of the supreme court, to oppose the government\u2019s plans for the selection committee.<\/p>\n

Beinisch, who retires in February, belatedly responded, castigating Israel\u2019s politicians for creating a \u201cpoisonous\u201d atmosphere of \u201copen incitement\u201d to undermine and weaken the court.<\/p>\n

The Haaretz<\/em> newspaper quoted a close associate of Beinisch\u2019s saying: \u201cThis is a very slippery slope that could lead to Germany of the 1930s, when the majority rode roughshod over the rights of minorities.\u201d<\/p>\n
