other Israeli civil society organizations, launched a new initiative

Bank and on peace with the Palestinians.The referendum initiative,
anchored in a new organization, Decision at 50, will collect
signatures of Israeli citizens, demanding a voice in deciding on the
future of the Occupied Territories – a decision until now dictated
by the settlers and their allies, through establishing facts on the
ground, with an immense impact on the national security and
wellbeing of the state of Israel.Many prominent Israeli public
figures have joined the initiative, including current and former
Knesset members, former security officials, as well as prominent
academics, entertainers and writers.[ak] | 13/9/2016 |

Naomi Chazan: Against a referendum on ending the occupation | | Naomi Chazan - Times of Israel - The idea of a referendum is
motivated by the need to challenge the foot-dragging of the
Netanyahu government. Referenda, however, are very fickle political
instruments. To conduct the first referendum in Israel’s history on
the most essential and contentious question on the public agenda is
foolhardy at best, if not downright irresponsible. Moreover, The
notion that Israelis have the right to decide the political destiny
of Palestinians is beyond absurd.It assumes that Israel possesses
all the lands in question and can retain or discard them at will.
Worldwide, referendums on the future of a specific territory are
conducted among the residents of the areas affected - not
among their overlords.[ak]

Why I`ll be on the Gaza flotilla this Jewish New Year | | Orly Noy - +972 Magazine - In the days set by Jewish tradition for
introspection and forgiveness, I am reminded that as an Israeli
citizen I am responsible for the disaster and tragedy befalling the
people of Gaza. I am reminded of one girl, Muna, whom I saw in a
film by Gaza-based director Fida Qishta: bombings, white
phosphorous, children’s bodies, more bombings, cruel and arbitrary
attacks on fisherman, gunfire at farmers whose land is too close to
the no-go zone, a father harrowingly calling for his son among the
wreckage, and a 10-year-old girl, Muna, who accompanies Qishta
throughout almost the entire movie, pointing out the location where
the people she knew were killed. [ak]
