We Need Your Support

>> Read all messages from Zehava Galon

In 2024 we learned that human rights tend to remain invisible until they are crushed – and we are here to speak up about it because they are being trampled over. The government carried on lying, inciting, and deceiving en route to turning Israel into an ugly replica of Hungary and Russia. It condemned hostages to death, pursued destruction, devastation, and starvation in Gaza, revived the regime revolution in order to crush the judicial system, undermined the free media, expanded construction in the settlements, and deepened discrimination and racism against Israel’s Arab citizens.

As a result, the most basic human rights violations amassed into a horrible mix of fear and hardship, causing many to keep their heads down, perhaps in the hope that this dark wave will pass. However, waves like these don’t pass on their own. This situation demands that we look it straight in the eye, or else we will be doomed to endless loops of despair and dread.

Israel has never had a government so detached from the public, a government that is leading us toward dictatorship. We ask you to support our activities so we can continue to stand tall, dispel the darkness, and combat the looming danger. We can win this fight. It will take creativity, initiative, and patience, and we have them all in abundance.

Led by our executive director Einat Ovadia and our outstanding team, Zulat has been working hard to fight initiatives and laws seeking to harm Israeli democracy. I invite you to support our efforts. Your donation would be a declaration of hope and commitment to equality and human rights.

Yours,

Zehava Galon

Dr. Maha Sabbah Karkabi

 

Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. She holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from Tel Aviv University (2015), a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Gender Studies, SOAS, University of London (2015-2016), a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Sociology at Tel Aviv University (2016-2017), and a postdoctoral fellowship Ph.D. at the Humphrey Institute for Social Research, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (2018-2020).
Dr. Maha Karbahi’s areas of interest focus on the connection between social change, family behavior, and gender inequality in societies in the process of change and specifically in Palestinian Arab society in Israel. Her research draws attention to the study of family life and employment, using a combined “ethnic lens” and “gender lens” and paying attention to the perspective of Palestinian Arab women, a group characterized by intersections between multiple marginal locations, which over the years has remained hidden from the research eye. Dr. Karkabi-Sabah’s research is published in professional journals and chapters in scientific books that are considered pioneers in family research, work, and gender equality.
