Baruch Kimmerling

An example of his writings is the following (Published in Kol HaIr, 22 March 2002, see [1] (http://www.seruv.org.il/MoreArticles/English/BaruchKimmerlingEng_1.htm)):

Since 1967 Israel has ruled directly - and since 1994 indirectly - over millions of Arab residents lacking all civil and most basic human rights. On the one hand, Israel did not annex the Occupied Territories and their population (except for East Jerusalem and the Syrian Golan Heights), in order to keep from them civil rights - for example, the right to vote and be elected. On the other hand, Israel has taken freely use of all material and human resources (land, water, etc.) of the Territories as if they belonged to the Jewish state. As time passes and this situation has been institutionalized, Israel has ceased being a democratic state and become a Herrenvolk democracy. This is a regime in which part of its subjects (the citizens) enjoys full rights and another part (the non-citizens) enjoy none. The laws of Israel have become the laws of Master-people and the morality, the morality of lords of the land. The name of the game has become that in every matter and subject which it is comfortable for Israel, residents of the Territories are part of the State, in every matter and subject not comfortable for Israel, they are outside the state. This is a state with a double legal system, a double rule, and a double morality.
