Abstract
In this opinion piece, I evaluate the 2022 Israeli Welfare Services for People with Disabilities Bill from a historical and value-based perspective. I present the welfare state’s historical ambivalence towards people with disabilities, often resulting in their social rights coming at the expense of their civic and political rights. Next, I present the social model of disability and its reconceptualization of independence and autonomy, which provides us with criteria for examining the new bill and its current and future alignment with the aspirations of the disability movement.
