State of Israel government
Industry Government
A state with democratic institutions for many citizens but also entrenched occupation, unequal rights across controlled populations, severe Gaza-war harms, and intensive security and surveillance systems. State of Israel government scores low because of coercive violence, documented human harm, and ecological harm, with poor loss-bearing fidelity reinforcing the negative evaluation.
Why this matters: Israel tests the rubric’s ability to separate partial internal democracy from state power exercised over people without equal political control.

Penalties
| Penalty | Applied | Why this penalty |

Reversibility
?
Applied when positive conduct depends on current living leaders,
founders, family owners, or other person-contingent governance rather

|
-5 |

including whether ecological harm is central to the model and continued
after credible notice. Range: -30 to 0.

structures that prevent public accountability. Range: -2 to 0.
