Instead~~, ~~Israeli leaders enacted several pieces~~ of ~~legislation known as~~ the ~~Basic Laws~~, or ~~Knessets~~, ~~eleven~~ of ~~which have passed. This has led to multiple changes in “constitutional” legislature from the first Knesset in 1958 to the final two Basic Laws enacted in 1992. Interestingly enough~~, ~~the Basic Laws that were typically considered to hold constitutional weight~~, ~~weren’t formally entrenched as laws that supersede common legislature until 1995~~(~~2020~~).		\|contents=Freedom of religion is established in the 1992 Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty. This law describes Israel as a “Jewish and democratic state”, but also “references the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel, which protects freedom to practice or not practice religious beliefs, including freedom of conscience, faith, religion, and worship, regardless of an individual’s religion” (state.gov).

	~~Under these Basic Laws, there is no official guarantee~~ of the ~~protection~~ of ~~freedom~~ of ~~expression. Instead~~, the ~~Israeli Supreme Court has largely dictated~~ the ~~extent~~ of the ~~right~~ to freedom of ~~expression (Levush~~, ~~2019). In Alan Levi And Yaheli Amit v. Southern District Police Commander (1984)~~, the ~~Supreme Court ruled that “The right~~ of ~~demonstration~~ and ~~procession is a fundamental human right in Israel. It is recognized along with free speech, or emanating therefrom - as belonging~~ to the ~~freedoms that characterize Israel as a democratic state~~.”		The Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel, promulgated in 1948, stated: "THE STATE OF ISRAEL will be open for Jewish immigration and for the Ingathering of the Exiles; it will foster the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; it will be based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel; it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations."

	~~However, there are limitations on~~ the ~~freedom~~ of expression should any acts of expression “that constitutes incitement for racism, terrorism and violence; outrage to religious feelings; publication of false news causing fear and alarm; as well as expression of ~~denial of the holocaust and praise for atrocities committed by the Nazis~~.~~” (Levush, 2019) Insults to public servants are also punishable by law and result in imprisonment for six months~~. ~~Furthermore, it is expected that courts balance competing interests when discerning the extent to which the freedom~~ of ~~expression encroaches on other rights that embody the Israeli~~ state~~(Levush, 2019).~~		"Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel: https://www.gov.il/en/departments/general/declaration-of-establishment-state-of-israel
