Is criticism of Israel on issues of rights, pluralism, equality and minorities justified given the historic and regional context of the state?
Essay from the year 2006 in the subject Politics - Region: Near East, Near Orient, grade: 1,7, Ben Gurion University (Middle East Institute), course: Society and Politics in Israel, language: English, abstract: This essay analyses the criticism of Israel on issues of rights, pluralism, equality and minorities.
