In January and February 2007,
the Israeli government finalized the privatization of its state-owned
refineries. The Israeli Ministry of Finance contends that the
privatization was a success and that the state attained a good price for
the refineries. We must ask, however, whether the price paid for the
refineries was indeed a fair one, and whether the taxpayers’ money hasn’t reached
the pockets of the capital holders once again.

Ehud Olmert's decision to
go to war in Lebanon
in response to abductions of soldiers was taken as early as March 2006,
according to a leak of his evidence to the commission investigating the war. The
report means that the military strategy was decided more than three months
before it was triggered by Hizbollah's abductions of two soldiers on Israel's
northern border in July.

There is no dearth of
explanations for the miserable lives that some women lead in our society. Lack
of education, economic deprivation and political marginalization are put forward
as basic factors contributing to this phenomenon. There is no doubt that all
these theories are valid in their own right, as each sheds at least some light
on the nature of trials and tribulations of women. However, most such explanations
are narrow in their scope and hence miss the overall framework within which
violence against women takes place. And this framework is the social
environment, traditions and values in which women are born, bred and brought up.

Over
the years, B'Tselem has issued numerous reports on the abusive conduct
of police officers and soldiers against Palestinians who violate the
closure to seek work. While the Israeli authorities condemn the acts of
abuse that are reported in the media, claiming they are lamentable
exceptions, the report shows that these cases are not exceptions at
all. In fact, they are the tip of the iceberg, under which is concealed
a harsh routine of violence and abuse, including the use of illegal
force, illegal damage to property, use of illegal force to extract
information and recruit collaborators, and unlawful use of firearms.
