NIF 2014 Annual Report

2014 ANNUAL REPORT

The New Israel FundThe New Israel Fund (NIF) is the leading organization advancing democracy and equality for all Israelis. We believe that Israel can live up to its founders’ vision of a state that ensures complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants, without regard to religion, race, gender, or national identity.

Widely credited with building Israel’s progressive civil society from scratch, we have provided over $300 million to more than 900 cutting-edge organizations since our inception. And we are more than a funder; NIF is at philanthropy’s cutting edge thanks in large part to Shatil.

Shatil Shatil is the New Israel Fund’s Initiative for Social Change.

Shatil provides NIF grantees and other social change organizations with hands-on assistance, including training, resources, and workshops on various aspects of non-profit management.

Today, NIF/Shatil is a leading advocate for democratic values, builds coalitions, empowers activists, and often takes the initiative in setting the public agenda.

s we write this, Israel is undergoing another summer of incitement and

violence. The murders of a young LGBT activist and the parents and infant

son of a Palestinian family, both apparently at the hands of religious and

political extremists, have roiled Israel and caused many to consider the root

causes of Jewish violence.

Israeli leaders like President Rivlin who protest incitement and exclusion

are receiving death threats. So are High Court of Justice President Miriam

Naor and U.S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro. So are Israeli staffers of the New Israel Fund.

It is no surprise that we again have been publicly targeted by the extreme right. There is

legislation looming in the next Knesset session that could seriously cripple the

ability of Israeli civil and human rights groups to function or even survive.

Nonetheless, we see some cause for optimism. Ordinary Israelis are waking up to dangerous

trends that have been ignored for too long, or countenanced with a wink and a nod by some

Israeli political leaders. Israelis and Americans are speaking out against the harsh, messianic

version of Judaism that recognizes no authority other than a warped version of Jewish law

and that continues to underlie a harsh occupation.

And we at NIF are moving forward in countering these trends. Our grantees

and partners continue to work to realize the liberal, egalitarian and democratic

vision of Israel enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. And despite (or

because of) the increasingly desperate attacks on our work, with your support we increased our

resources substantially in 2014. We continue to implement the New Initiatives For Democracy

(NIFD) program, building partnerships and incubating projects that we hope will create an

environment where progressive change can happen. And we have focused and aligned our

traditional work for impact (see page 17) and made some hard but necessary decisions about

our investments in social change.

We are committing ourselves to a just and democratic society in Israel. Please join us in that

recommitment—there is no time to lose.

As Israelis and Gaza Palestinians suffered another war, and

as polarization and mistrust increased between Israeli citizens,

we made the decision to intensify our investment in a more

F U T U R E ! NIF is creating

alternatives to

hatred, racism,

incitement,

and violence.

Countering Racismtrife between Israel’s Jewish and Arab citizens was the defining domestic issue of 2014. The year was marked by an increase in hate crimes, from torched property and mosques, to physical assault, to racist anti-Arab graffiti daubed on cars, religious institutions, and in villages. Although the sharp upswing in incitement and violence was condemned by some politicians and

other public figures, most notably Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, the vast majority of these crimes have gone unpunished.

Tensions continued to climb following the tragic kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers in June and the revenge killing of a Palestinian teenager. As hostilities between Jewish and Arab Israelis increased, Operation Protective Edge, the third Gaza operation in five years, commenced. Capitalizing on the discord, extremists used the moment to incite racial violence and vitriol, causing an already precarious situation to further deteriorate.

But in these dark moments, growing numbers of Jewish and Arab Israelis spoke out against racism and separatism. Through

efforts big and small, these inspirational figures are paving the path towards an Israeli future characterized by equality and justice, not hatred and division.

Extremism is no virtue. Israelis

like those of the Tag Meir

Coalition are paving the path

forward towards a more inclusive

and truly shared society.


While the extremists behind the hate seek to rip Israeli society apart, the NIF-convened Tag Meir coalition—the leading grassroots Israeli response to incidents of racism and intolerance—is working

to heal divisions and demand a meaningful effort to end hate crimes.

Last year, Tag Meir events included a major solidarity rally at the site of the torched Hand in Hand bilingual school in Jerusalem; a demonstration demanding action to stop hate crimes; and condolence visits to Jewish and Arab families who have lost loved ones to hate crimes and racist violence.

During last summer’s fighting, Amna Kanane, director of NIF grantee Awareness 4 U, organized a vigil. Standing at a heavily traveled intersection in the predominantly Arab Wadi Ara region, Jews and Arabs held signs that said “Neighbors for Peace.” The vigil garnered so much attention and interest that it became a nearly weekly event, continuing long after the rockets ceased. “We felt that we had to do something in light of the recent deterioration,” Kanane said. “Together we can strengthen dialogue and partnership,

together we can protect our democracy. All of us—Jews and Arabs, equal citizens before the law, condemn the killing and support a return to hope and optimism.”

From solidarity visits to rallies to

joint-action, NIF-supported groups

are working to end the cycle of

hatred, inequality, and violence.

–David Grossman, Prize-Winning Israeli AuthorWe insist upon hope.

The Parents Circle Families Forum, another grantee, is a joint Palestinian-Israeli organization of more than 600 families, all of whom have lost a close family member as a result of the prolonged conflict. During the war, the Forum organized “Peace Square,” where Parents Circle members engaged passersby in dialogue circles every day in the heart of Tel Aviv. They also created quite a buzz with an emotional video in which Arabs and Jews stated, “We don’t want you.” The twist at the end revealed that all participants had lost a family member to the violence; a club no one wants to join.

In addition, NIF continues with its acclaimed Kick Racism Out of Israeli Soccer initiative, which works to fight racism in Israeli society through soccer. In early 2015, it launched the “Team of Equals,” which

brings together children from East and West Jerusalem in order to combat the division and hostility between them and to advance a shared life in the city.

CHANGING T HE D ISCOURSE

Reinventing a Progressive Israel

ince its inception, Israel has described itself as the only democracy in the Middle East. Despite the authoritarian regimes surrounding them, Israelis’ support for Western-style liberal democracy seemed secure for most of its brief history.

In the last decade, however, basic democratic norms have been eroded by ultra-nationalist politicians and their allies in Israel and abroad. More than 25 bills have been introduced in the Knesset threatening freedom of speech and religion, and other democratic fundamentals. The fight against these initiatives is essential because—as former MK and past NIF president Naomi Chazan eloquently put it—“it is a struggle for our very soul.”

NIF is proud of our 35-year history of founding and funding progressive civil society. As we discovered in the last few years, these investments are necessary but not sufficient for addressing the urgent new challenges to Israeli democracy. We knew more had to be done. We knew it was time to act.

Last fall, NIF launched New Initiatives for Democracy (NIFD), a major investment in programs and partners designed to create an

environment for progressive change to really happen. NIFD is a set of infrastructure projects that build up towards power and influence, reach out to new constituencies, and focus in by concentrating NIF’s resources for strategic impact.


12

In the first year of NIFD, our partners had impact. In September, Molad, the Center for Renewal of Israeli Democracy, published a ground-breaking report on settlement funding. The report, which uncovered a massive, hidden pipeline used by the government to fund West Bank settlements at the expense of communities in Israel, created major buzz in the Israeli media and led to Deputy Attorney General Dina Zilber ruling that the state should stop its hidden support. Despite this, right-wing factions are currently attempting to increase funding for settlements and settlement infrastructure.

Another partner, the “think-and-do-tank” Shaharit, was able to utilize the election moment to show the faces and broadcast the voices of diverse community leaders that reflect the mosaic of inclusive Israeli society. This was possible because of the relationships and networks that Shaharit had cultivated, efforts that bore fruit in the lead-up to the election.

And the Council for Peace and Security (CPS), run by former high-ranking military and security officials, continued to redefine the discourse over security issues in Israel. Throughout Operation Protective Edge, CPS positioned itself as a source of professional and authoritative knowledge. From op-eds to radio and TV interviews to panel discussions to coverage of organizational positions and reports, CPS provided a cogent alternative to the hawkish perspective dominating mainstream media in Israel.

Introducing Zazim! One of the core components in NIFD is about

giving Israelis the opportunity to take action together about the

issues they care about using digital tools. Much like MoveOn.org

in the U.S., Zazim will empower and amplify progressive voices

in Israel using innovative online campaigning techniques.

The leadup to the national elections in February 2015 was also controversial for NIF. As part of our efforts to promote democratic values, NIF co-sponsored Haaretz’s Democracy Conference in Tel Aviv. Although some right-wing politicians pulled out in a coordinated election stunt, the sold-out event hosted dozens of Israeli leaders engaging in debate on the most contentious issues facing the country.

During a speech at the event, President Reuven Rivlin

said, “There is a crisis on the right. It sees the Jewish

and democratic state as a democracy for the Jews.

This is something I cannot countenance.”

But, as we all know, the struggle for a democratic Israel was never only about the outcome of a single election; it is a deeper effort to build power for those who have none, to build ties between Israelis now alienated from one another, and to oppose racism and inequality wherever they appear.

Through NIFD, the groundwork is being laid for a progressive movement that builds on tactical victories. We’re funding the best and the brightest voices; we’re building new partnerships with communities not typically associated with the left; we’re creating new and exciting ways to counter media bias and build an engaged grassroots. The election was a snapshot in time. With NIFD, we’re in it for the long haul.

EXPANDING THE PROGRESSIVE CAMP

Focusing for Impactell before last year’s elections, we made the strategic decision to focus the New Israel Fund’s resources on larger, longer and more consistent support for organizations and coalitions with the potential for long-term impact and progress in Israel.

As a result of our process of focus and alignment, and in response to the frightening surge in racism and incitement in Israeli society, we have established a new issue area: Building a Shared Society and Combatting Racism. Over the past few years, relations between Jews and Arabs have deteriorated; hate crimes have increased, and racism—especially and most troubling, among Jewish youth—is worsening. But we’ve also seen sparks of a new perspective—of new potential. At the Democracy Conference in Tel Aviv we heard MK Ayman Odeh, head of the Arab Joint List, discuss how Arabs and Jews must partner for a truly shared

society. We know that there must be a renewed commitment to strengthening communal relationships.

And we are amplifying our support for pro-democracy and human rights organizations. Although the democratic fabric of Israeli society is under threat as never before, we are the engine and support network for the individuals and organizations working to save and strengthen it. We are aiming to not only end the erosion of basic democratic principles but to bolster these fundamental rights in the public eye and to enshrine them in public policy. Through intensive lobbying and other efforts,

we will work to halt the onslaught of anti-democratic bills and increase transparency in government.

NIF has added an issue area:

Building a Shared Society and

Combatting Racism, in response

to disturbing trends in Israel.


EXPANDING THE PROGRESSIVE CAMP

NIF will also be focusing on the occupation and human rights in the occupied territories. While the emotional, financial, and physical cost of the occupation fades from public view, we are supporting work that keeps these realities visible for ordinary Israelis. Additionally, a focus on East Jerusalem is designed to help improve daily life for the underprivileged Palestinian community, stop settler expropriation of Palestinian property and build a truly shared city for all its inhabitants.

We know that a better Israel is possible. An Israel where the Jewish people achieve self-determination in their homeland predicated on the best values of Judaism, humanism, and liberal democracy. We are excited about our new focus and look forward—with your partnership—to building a more equal, democratic, and just Israel.A new focus for NIF is ending the

occupation and improving the lives

of East Jerusalem residents.

government activity. They serve as

a check and balance on potential

abuses of power.

Mobilizing Support. In 2014, NIF increased fundraising for its core mission by over 12%. The additional funding allowed us to make great strides in advancing human and civil rights, religious freedom, and social and economic justice in Israel.

Bedouin Israelis. In a major victory for Bedouin land rights, a Be’er Sheva court upheld the cancellation of 51 demolition orders in the Negev village of Alsira. The decision follows an eight year legal struggle led by Adalah. This case is an important legal precedent for all unrecognized Bedouin villages in the Negev, and means that the 350 Bedouin citizens of the village will remain in their homes.

Combatting Racism. Palestinian Israelis whose property has been damaged in a hate crime will now be entitled to compensation under the Property Tax and Compensation Fund Law. Until now, attacks on Palestinians were not legally described as terrorist actions, rendering victims ineligible for compensation.

Social Justice and Human Rights. During the Gaza War, NIF distributed more than $150,000 in emergency grants to protect marginalized communities, counteract racism and separatism, and bolster the human rights community. Our organizations distributed food to low-income Israelis, brought together Jews and Arabs for dialogue, and petitioned the Supreme Court to help Negev Bedouin Israelis get access to bomb shelters and other basic needs.

Economic Justice. Thousands of Israelis will be able to take a critical step out of poverty. Israel’s Public Housing Law, passed in 1998, will finally be implemented due to the Shatil-led Public Housing Forum’s intensive advocacy work. Among other actions, the law requires the government to sell public housing residents their apartments at a subsidized price after five years of residency.

Social Justice. In a victory for diversity in leadership, the Supreme Court has ordered the state to ensure that women and Arabs are fairly represented on the Israel Land Authority (ILA) Council. The ILA controls 93% of the land in Israel, and has huge power over land use decisions. At the time of the decision, there was only one woman and no Arabs serving on the ten-member Council. This victory was made possible by a petition advanced by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) and Itach-Maki (Women Lawyers for Social Justice).

Challenging the Orthodox Monopoly. Two victories marked progress for religious freedom in Israel. In a precedent-setting ruling, the Supreme Court ruled that the Orthodox authorities do not have a monopoly on determining how Jews pray at the Kotel. And veteran NIF grantee Israel Religious Action Center helped score a landmark victory that will allow Reform and Conservative rabbis to serve as state-salaried clergy.

Social Justice. A major breakthrough cancelling private, fee-for-service care in public hospitals will help ensure quality healthcare for all Israelis. An additional billion shekels granted to the Health Ministry will be used to shorten wait times at hospitals and provide quality healthcare irrespective of income. The victory follows a campaign led by ACRI, Physicians for Human Rights, and the Adva Center.

Women’s Empowerment. Following a long struggle by Itach-Maki (Women Lawyers for Social Justice), a new law will reduce women’s financial reliance on their husbands. Welfare payments will now be transferred to a couple’s shared account instead of to the man’s account, which will increase the economic independence of vulnerable and abused women.
