The status of Men in Israel from a Human Rights prespective

Israel is supposed to be the only democracy in the middle east. And in some ways, it really is. However, when it comes to the status of men and men's rights, israel can hardly qaulify as a free country.

The situation of men in Israel is one of the worst in the western world. Israeli feminists have imported their ideas from western countries in the anglosphere like US and the UK, but they have taken them to the extreme. Combine the feminist motivation with the relative weakness of the Israeli governmental system,

and what you have got is a nightmare for all Israeli men.

Every human being, has a basic right to start a family. However, should the marriage fail, any man who has children is doomed to poverty. I will demonstrate this by showing what is it going to be like for the average Israeli Joe:

Here is some facts: (monthly unless otherwise stated)

1. The minimum wage in Israel is 4200 NIS (1135 USD).*

2. The average wage in Israel is 9000 NIS (2432 USD).*

3. Every Israeli woman has 2.8 Children on average.*

4. The minimum child support payment per chlid is 1200 NIS (324 USD)**

5. In addition every man must pay 33% of rent/mortgage payments for 1 child, 40% for 2, and 50%

    for 3 children. **

6. For an average family the average cost of rent would be 5000 NIS. (1351 USD).***

7.In addition, 50% of every Extra costs such as education or health. **

7. So, the Average Divorced Israeli Joe would have to pay for 2.8 Children:

324*2/8 + 45%*1351 = 907 + 608 = 1515 USD

Given that his avrage income is 2432 USD, he is left with 917 USD for living, LESS THAN THE MINIMUM WAGE.

The calculation is very conservative. the minimum of 324USD per child is for those who earn the minimum wage or less. Those who earn the average wage are likely to pay even more and be left with even less.

There is no minimum garanteed income that is left, in fact even if a man loses his job those payments stay in tact. In fact, it is completly possible to have an Israeli family court award the divorced wife child support which exceed the man's wage.

200 Israeli man commit sucide every year. ****

The Israeli Government is violating human rights of men.

The State of Israel Vs. Guy Shamir - Part 1

Guy Shamir is a high Profile Israeli social and Fathers Rights Activist. He has been onvolved in various legal proceedings against the divorce industry, and has been targeted as a "trouble maker" after making some important achievements. So how does the Israeli divorce industry gets rid of troublemakers who threatens their business? read on.

Guy's case has been handled by Judge ESPERANZA ALON from Haifa Family court. On August 9th 2012 Judge Alon has instructed her secratary to contact Guy over the phone. The secratary made several phone calls that day, despite the fact that Guy was represented by an attourney at that time, and Judge Alon was well aware of that. The secratary discussed with Guy over the phone issues related to his Children's Custody. 

Guy says that the secratary has been very mean, uncaring and "berocratric" in the phone conversation. Despaired, he replied to her angrily over the phone: "Tell the Judge to take care of her own children and leave mine alone". The judge took this opportunity to twist Guy's intentions and got him arrested with accusations of threatening the Judge/Her Children. While some people would think that this kind of language is inappropriate, Guy centainly had no violent intentions. At no point he meant to threaten anyone. He lost his temper momentarily, and paid dearly for it. It is easy to understand why a man would lose his temper, after being abused by the Israeli Family Court system. 

Charges has been filed against Guy Shamir, and Judge Ayelet Hoch-Tal has decided that Guy will remain under arrest until the end of his trial, without any possibility of bail. Guy is not a Criminal. He is a social activist and a pretty smart dude, not the kind of men u would usaully find in Prison. Guy's attorney Raz Misgav, has filled a motion to the Israeli Supreme Court, for an immidiate release of his client. Guy's attorney insisted that Guy would never get a fair trial since Judge Hoch-Tal on his criminal case works together at the same Haifa Court with Judge Alon. Judge Alon had been a key witness for the prosecution. 

Israeli Father's Rights activists held a demonstration in front of Judge Alon home in Haifa demanding his immediate release, and Judge Alon to Resign. Click here to view a YOUTUBE Video of the demonstration.
