They work to raise awareness of the problems caused by racial discrimination among decision makers in the public, stakeholders, including individuals and organizations, in civil society, politics and society to delegitimize it in all its forms.
The coalition brings together some 40 non-governmental organizations that advocate the rights, interests and aspirations of minorities and disadvantaged people in Israel. They include people of Russian origin, Palestinians in Israel, Ethiopians, Mizrahi and refugees. Human rights organizations who deal with the rights of women, children and people with special needs are also involved in the coalition.
The coalition has set itself the goal to address the following related problems:
The coalition has set itself the goal to address the following related problems:
- Racism is partially legitimized by the lack of adequate framework for the protection of minority rights
- Racial Profiling and the violation of the freedom of movement in public
- Incitement against minorities and ethnic groups from political and religious leaders, public figures and the media
- Increased racial violence against ethnic and minority groups in Israel
- The persistence of negative stereotypes against the Arab minority and other marginalized groups
The Coalition monitors against racism by political and religious leaders and media publications in Amharic, Arabic, Hebrew and Russian, and comments on cases of racist or discriminatory comments or sues them in some cases.
The coalition also pursues discrimination and violence by members of the police and conducts training programs for the police in the field of human rights.
Furthermore, lobbying is carried out in ministries such as the Ministry of Education, to convince them to invest in human rights work and an anti-racism plan for institutions, and to ensure compliance with existing anti-discrimination laws. Teachers are trained in tolerance and anti-racism by the member organization "Psychoactive”.

Events like "Culture against Racism" are held, which bring together Jewish and Arab populations, with concerts featuring Jewish and Arab artists.
In Galilee, a region where many ethnic groups, nationalities, religions and races live segregated lives and maintain prejudiced and racist attitudes towards members of other groups, activities for young people aged 15-18 years are carried out. The aim is that young people who will later enter the army, study at universities and enter the workforce will take a clear stand against racism and discrimination within their groups.
In 2015, a bus was travelling through Israel, with emphasis on the regions of Galilee, Negev and Muthallath, where Jewish and Arab activists from their respective regions and all over Israel participated and engaged in dialogue with the people of the villages and towns. In order to reach a wider audience, the Bus Campaign was also be recorded on video and celebrities have joined to initiate a major media campaign with the purpose of stimulating public discussion.

Tamra is part of the metropolitan area Haifa-Akko-Tamra . These three cities are located only 15-30 minutes drive away from each other, and are accessible by buses, train (Akko-Haifa) and taxis. One can easily move between these three places and should look at the three locations as a common metropolitan area.
Tamra (25,000 inhabitants) is located on the hills which rise behind the plains of Akko. With clear weather, from Akko you have a fantastic view over Akko and the Mediterranean Sea. For this reason, Tamra is a popular town for short trips for people from the neighbouring cities, who enjoy Tamra's attractively priced traditional Arabic restaurants.
The town is dominated by Arabic Israelis living in extended family clans. Arts, culture and community are highly valued in Tamra; many citizens are highly educated and have studied abroad. They are particularly friendly and open towards foreigners and it is easy for our participants to get integrated into the town community.
Tamra is also famous for its extravagant weddings. There are several locations where weddings are celebrated. During the "wedding season", from May to October, Tamra hosts 7-10 large weddings every day.
The historical port town of Akko (also: Akkon) has around 50,000 inhabitants. Its old town atmosphere is very oriental. Akko has been mentioned in the bible's Old Testament; Alexander the Great, the Romans, Sultan Saladin, and the Crusaders have all been to Akko. Napoleon didn't succeed to conquer the city though. The old town of Akko as a UNESCO World Heritage site is part of every Israel round trip. During the summer, Akko's beach is very populated, and Akko's Arabian market is a popular location for tourists and locals alike.
Haifa (270,000 inhabitants) is after Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Israel's third largest city. It is a city full of life as there are more than 40,000 students studying at Haifa University and numerous colleges. For that reason, Haifa has a wide selection of bars and clubs. During the summer, the beaches behind Mount Carmel are populated at day and night by young people.
Between Haifa, Akko and Tamra there are not only olive and pomegranate plantations, but also the so-called "Krayots" which are several villages belonging to the wider area of Haifa. They have modern entertainment facilities such as multiplex cinemas, bars and bowling allies.
Recreational Activities in Tamra/Akko/Haifa
There are numerous ways to spend leisure time in Tamra, Akko and Haifa. All cities are full of cultural life. During the hot summer, you can go to the beaches; Tamra also has a public swimming pool.
Day trips in Israel, which can be done from Akko/Tamra/Haifa, include visiting mystical historical sites such as Jerusalem, Nazareth, Safed, the Sea of Galilee and Magito, where, according to the prophecy of Jews, Christians and Muslims alike, the final battle of "Armageddon" will take place. In the nature of the hilly north, it is possible to hike, mountainbike and even ski in the winter time.
Getting To Tamra
You book your flight to Tel Aviv (TLV). Look for different airlines, including low cost airlines such as Easyjet, Air Berlin, German Wings, Pegasus Airlines and flyniki. Tip: Search also for nearby Airports in neighboring European countries.
At the airport of Tel Aviv, you can find the train station; the train departs hourly to Akko (also the whole night). From Akko train station, you will be picked up and taken to your accommodation in Tamra.
Please note that from Fridays 4.00 p.m. to Saturdays 4.00 p.m., and on Israeli holidays, no trains run, making it difficult to get from Tel Aviv airport to Akko. You should not book a flight that lands on Fridays after 2.00 p.m. or leaves on Saturdays before 9.00 p.m. We even recommend completely avoiding Saturdays for arrival and departure.
On other days of the week, your flight should not arrive after 7.00 p.m., as the Akko train station pick-up service from 11.00 p.m. – 8.00 a.m. is not possible. If you cannot book your flight otherwise, you would have to spend a night in Tel Aviv, before you continue traveling to Akko.
