“HABITHONISTIM” TERMS & CONDITIONS

The Habithonistim Movement registered non-profit organization no. 580697472 (the “Organization” or the “Movement“) welcomes you to its website operated at: www.idsf.org.il (the “Website” or the “Site“). The Habithonistim Movement was founded with the objective of placing the security of the State of Israel at the top of the national priorities, ensuring the freedom and sovereignty of the Jewish people in their land for generations. The Movement was established by senior security establishment officials who believe that Israel’s security must be based on its ability to defend itself by itself. To achieve this mission, the Movement operates in several key areas: providing professional counsel and tools to policymakers, education and public diplomacy among the public and youth, strategic-security research, and leading public discourse through extensive media activity and presence on social networks (the “Activity” or the “Services“). The Website serves as an online platform to present the Movement’s activities, allow registration for Movement membership or dedicated communities (such as the “Hamesa’ayat” Community), redirect to donation platforms and provide contact information. Furthermore, the Website provides users with a professional database containing position papers, publications, articles and videos.
