Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE MISSION OF THE NEW ISRAEL FUND IS TO STRENGTHEN ISRAEL'S DEMOCRACY AND TO PROMOTE JUSTICE, EQUALITY AND DEMOCRACY FOR ALL OF ISRAEL'S CITIZENS.
SEE PART III, LINE 1.
HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY: NIF'S PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ADVANCE PRO-DEMOCRACY VALUES AND THEIR EXPRESSION IN ISRAEL'S PUBLIC LIFE, SAFEGUARD HUMAN AND CIVIL RIGHTS - PARTICULARLY IN THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES - AND STRENGTHEN PUBLIC TRUST IN AND SUPPORT FOR DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS AND VALUES.IN 2019, NIF GRANTEE ADALAH: THE LEGAL CENTER FOR ARAB MINORITY RIGHTS FOUGHT BACK AGAINST RACIAL SEGREGATION IN PUBLIC SPACE. OFFICIALLY, THE CITY OF AFULA CLAIMED THAT A MUNICIPAL PARK WAS FOR RESIDENTS ONLY, BUT IN PRACTICE, SECURITY GUARDS PLACED AT THE PARK'S GATES ONLY REFUSED ENTRY TO ARAB CITIZENS FROM NEARBY VILLAGES. ADALAH: PETITIONED THE NAZARETH ADMINISTRATIVE COURT ON THE MATTER AND THE COURT AGREED AND ORDERED AFULA TO OVERTURN THE RACIST POLICY, ENSURING THE PARK WOULD BE OPEN TO ALL.
SHARED SOCIETY: NIF WORKS TO ADVANCE A VISION OF ISRAEL THAT FUNCTIONS AS A SHARED SOCIETY THAT VALUES SOCIAL UNITY AND REJECTS RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MINORITIES. A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT IN 2019 WAS A SUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO REDUCE RACIST CHANTING AT ISRAELI SOCCER MATCHES. SINCE THE 2003 FOUNDING OF NIF'S KICK IT OUT (KIO) CAMPAIGN TO FIGHT RACISM IN SOCCER, KIO HAS CAMPAIGNED RELENTLESSLY TO HIGHLIGHT THE PROBLEM. THERE WERE ONLY TWO CASES OF RACIST CHANTING BY BEITAR JERUSALEM FANS DURING THE 2018/19, COMPARED WITH 17 DURING THE 2017/18 SEASON, AND 35 IN 2016/17, ACCORDING TO A KIO REPORT.
PALESTINIAN CITIZENS OF ISRAEL: 20% OF ISRAEL'S CITIZENS ARE PALESTINIANS. NIF SEEKS TO PROMOTE EQUALITY FOR PALESTINIAN-ISRAELIS AS WELL AS EXPAND THEIR PARTICIPATION IN ISRAEL'S DEMOCRATIC PROCESSES AND INSTITUTIONS.ONE TANGIBLE EXAMPLE OF OUR WORK IN 2019 IN THIS FIELD INVOLVED AN EFFORT TO TRANSLATE STATE EXAMS INTO ARABIC. AFTER A PETITION SUBMITTED BY NIF FLAGSHIP GRANTEE ASSOCIATION FOR CIVIL RIGHTS IN ISRAEL, THE SUPREME COURT ORDERED THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION TO TRANSLATE A STATE GEOGRAPHY EXAM FOR ARABIC-SPEAKING STUDENTS. IN RESPONSE TO THE COURT'S RULING, THE MINISTRY SAID THE GEOGRAPHY MAPS WOULD BE FULLY TRANSLATED IN TIME FOR ALL FUTURE EXAMS.
