Structural and cultural variables favoring a short-term orientation; 5. The right to be free from the threat of torture in light of structural and cultural complexity; 6. The right to equality: gender segregation on ultra-orthodox buses following the Israeli High Court of Justice ruling on the 'segregation lines' in 2011; 7. The right to enjoy a decent lifestyle: the case of the Laron law - national insurance law (amendment no. 109, 2008) encouraging the disabled to work; 8. The human rights commission in Israel that never was; 9. Property rights - the issue of designing policy about the separation fence - the High Court of Justice case: Beit Sureiq Village v. the State of Israel, 2004; 10.
