Expressing Oneself Without a Constitution: The Israeli Story

Authors

• Zaharah R. Markoe

Abstract

The note examines the challenges to freedom of expression in Israel, highlighting the absence of a written constitution and the tension between security concerns, religious influences, and democratic values. It argues that while the High Court of Israel has played a crucial role in protecting civil liberties, the lack of constitutional protections leaves freedom of expression vulnerable, particularly in cases involving national security and religious sensibilities.
