Civil Disobedience in Defense of Democracy
This study uncovers a previously overlooked chapter in the historiography of civil disobedience: Menachem Begin’s resistance to Israeli emergency legislation between 1948 and 1954, which he argued undermined foundational democratic principles. It presents the first scholarly analysis of Begin’s resistance, contending that it constitutes a clear instance of civil disobedience, embodying its core tenets. At the heart of this historical case study l…
From Rule of Law to the Law of the Ruler
In January 2023, Israel's newly formed coalition under the leadership of the Likud party began to promote a reform that would alter the nature of the regime and undermine the democratic tenets of the separation of powers, judicial review, and the independence of the judicial branch. The article determines that the planned government overhaul diverges sharply from the historic path of "The Likud," and directly contradicts the worldview and policie…

The Road Not Taken
This article explores the position taken by the Herut party and its leader, Menachem Begin, on fundamental issues of democracy and regime type. It analyzes the democratic model that Begin and Herut sought to promote during Israel’s formative years: a presidential democracy with a clearly defined separation of powers preserved in a rigorous formal constitution that includes both judicial supremacy and a mechanism for judicial review. The article i…
Son of Arabia, son of Nazareth, and my son’
This article focuses on the campaign waged by Herut, a right-wing National-Liberal party and its leader, Menachem Begin, to abolish the Military Government imposed on the Arab citizens of Israel between the years 1948-1966. The article draws on multiple sources that have not yet been studied to analyze Herut’s struggle for the annulment of the Military Government, while placing it in a broad historical and political context. It shows that Herut d…
Just ring twice
During the early 1930s a regulatory regime on the rent market was enacted in Mandatory Palestine. Although it was promulgated under specific circumstances and was to remain in effect for a limited period, it remained in force until 1954, due to a variety of economic, political and social factors. The unique circumstances of Israel's formative years intensified the far-reaching social and economic effects of the regulation. At the same time, the j…
