Israel's new anti-terror act has been described as one of the most dangerous and important pieces of legislation in Israel in recent times, but has failed to make even a ripple in the mainstream media. In what could be a severe blow for the legal rights of Palestinians, the law formalises powers to detain terror suspects without access to a lawyer, and drastically widens the definition of a terrorist organisation. Are these measures necessary to protect the security of Israeli citizens, or do they push Israel a step closer to being a permanent police state? With human rights lawyer Sir Geoffrey Bindman QC, defence expert Paul Schulte, and journalist and Palestinian rights activist Maath Musleh.
