Who we are
Tarabut seeks to build social alliances for change, to forge alliances that bring together the dispossessed and the oppressed in Israel through involvement in social struggles. Hence the name ('come together', 'associate' in Hebrew and Arabic): We seek to bring together people, not organizations, to think together without dogmatic certainties, and to work for social change.
The focus of Tarabut's activity is local. Very few texts on our website are currently available in other languages than Hebrew and Arabic. We hope to make more texts available in the future.

Solidarity with the Palestinian Political Prisoners in their Just Struggle!
A joint public statement of politcal organizations from both sides of the green line to support the Palestinian Political Prisoners in their Just Struggle, initiated by the left forces in Hebron and Hithabrut-Tarabut. "Our immediate demand from the Israeli authorities is to free all administrative detainees, both those on hunger strike and those who are not. We call for an end to the policy of administrative detention as a method of arbitrary detention, which results in the jailing of people without trial, on the basis of confidential evidence and without providing a reason and justification for the detainees and their attorneys. This practice contravenes fundamental standards of justice and represents an example of Israel’s blatant disregard of international conventions and norms anchored in international humanitarian law and international human rights conventions."
An Israeli Spring? Critical reflections on the past and future of the Israeli mass protests
Last summer's social protests exposed the cracks and contradictions of the current economic and political order.

A critical overview of the protest, with the aim of contributing to its renewal.
Have you ever heard commercials in the middle of a demonstration, while breathing tear gas? There are some corporations who do not give up even a single valuable moment of a listening audience, even demonstrators under a tear gas attack...
In February 2010, Israel's minister of foreign affair, head of the right-wing party "Yisrael Beiteinu”, proposed requiring a loyalty oath as a condition of Israeli citizenship. Those who refuse - Arab or Jewish - would have their citizenship revoked. Read our own version...

Kfar Shalem — The “Mahal/Moshe Dayan” Residential Compound: Interim Summary
Agents of Israel’s judicial execution office, backed up by a force of hundreds of police, evict more than twenty families from the “Mahal/Moshe Dayan” compound situated in the southwest corner of Kfar Shalem (in southern Tel-Aviv)—an unprecedented event in the context of a decades-long struggle against dispossession. »
Kfar Shalem: The Struggle Resumes
At Kfar Shalem, residents renew the grassroots struggle for their rights and homes, in anticipation of what lies ahead: the moment when all legal proceedings will have been exhausted and they will be facing the danger of immediate eviction. »
Noch ein Dunam, und noch ein Dunam
Die zionistische Praxis der letzten 130 Jahre zeichnet sich nicht vornehmlich durch Blitzkriege aus wie den des Jahres 1967, in dem binnen sechs Tagen die Staatsfläche vervierfacht wurde. Auch der Krieg des Jahres 1948 ist nicht typisch für die zionistische Praxis. Der zentrale zionistische Slogan heißt vielmehr: Noch ein Dunam, und noch ein Dunam! Geduldig werden weitere 1000 Quadratmeter gekauft oder erobert, und noch einmal 1000 Quadratmeter. So auch in diesem Sommer. »

Why Israel’s Dismantling of Public Housing is a Crime
Last Wednesday, a landmark event took place in the struggle for social justice in Israel. A “Popular Court” was conducted, in which the criminals behind Israel’s public housing policy were put on trial. Those whose rights were violated by the public housing policy appeared for the first time not as humble petitioners pleading for mercy, and not as the irresponsible or the already-guilty, but as witnesses and plaintiffs who charge the system with violating their dignity, robbing them of their humanity, and abdicating its responsibility to serve as a social safety net for the most impoverished strata of society. »
Paradise for Education? Three Responses to Neoliberal Education Reform
When neoliberals talk about improving and developing the education system, there are two main claims that they never fail to repeat. The first is the need for a technological revolution in education, while the second is to dismantle age-based instruction. To make these neoliberal proposals more attractive, they’ll always remind us of the supposedly liberating information revolution, along with the ideas of Professor Ken Robinson on creativity. »
