Michael Sfard Biography
His parents emigrated to Israel from Poland at the end of the 1960s, after they were involved in the University of Warsaw student rebellions against the Communist Government in 1968.
Sfard is the grandchild of Holocaust survivors. His parents had been expelled from Poland for their involvement in the University of Warsaw student uprisings against the Communist Government in 1968. When he was five, his family moved to an apartment building in Ma’alot Dafna that was home to many journalists.
Michael Sfard was born in 1972 in the Rehov Brazil public housing complex in Kiryat HaYovel, Jerusalem.
Michael Sfard (Hebrew: מיכאל ספרד ; born 1972), is a lawyer and political activist specializing in international human rights law and the laws of war. He has served as counsel in various cases on these topics in Israel. Sfard has represented a variety of Israeli and Palestinian human rights and peace organizations, movements and activists at the Israeli Supreme Court.
While serving in Gaza his views changed, and in a later reservist session, Sfard became a conscientious objector and spent three weeks in military prison due to his refusal to serve as escort for Israeli settlers in Hebron. He was released from the army in 1994 and attended a course on Jewish-Arab encounters at Neve Shalom. He started his legal apprenticeship with Avigdor Feldman in 1998 and worked with him for several years as an attorney.
In 2000, Sfard and his wife moved to London so that he could pursue a master’s degree, but he says it was also “to get away” from Israel. He studied international human rights law, “discovered the subject [he] wanted to work in” and returned the following year having decided that emigration from Israel was “a tragedy”.
He completed his Master of Laws at University College London. Shortly after Sfard returned, he attended the first conference of the group Courage to Refuse, “saw 200 people who thought and felt like [he] did”, and decided to be an activist. In early 2004, Sfard opened his own office in Tel Aviv.
In 2011, a settler from Kiryat Arba was indicted after calling for his assassination in an Internet posting. Israeli Knesset Member Danny Danon says that Sfard is “trying to bypass democracy”, and that he uses the Israel “legal system because his ideas are not welcome in Israeli society.”
The New York Times described Sfard as “the left’s leading lawyer in Israel”.
