Report on International Religious Freedom Israel Section I. Freedom of Religion Israel has no constitution; however, the law provides for freedom of worship, and the Government generally respects this right in practice. The Government recognizes 5 religions, including 10 Christian groups. Each religion recognized by the Government has its own religious court system, which has considerable authority over issues of personal status. Government recognition is limited to religions present in the country before 1948. Approximately 80 percent of citizens are Jewish (with a significant secular majority), while approximately 16 percent are Muslims, 2 percent are Christians, and 1.5 percent are Druze. The non-Jewish population is concentrated in the north, east-central, and southern parts of the country. The population includes small but growing numbers of adherents of nonrecognized evangelical Christian groups and members of other faiths, such as Jehovah's Witnesses. The overwhelming majority of non-Jewish citizens are Arabs and they are subject to various forms of discrimination. It is not clear that whatever discrepancies exist in the treatment of various communities in Israeli society are based on religion per se. Israeli Arabs and other non-Jewish Israelis are, in fact, free to practice their religions. The Government does not provide Israeli Arabs, who constitute 20 percent of the population, with the same quality of education, housing, employment opportunities, and social services as Jews. In addition, government spending and financial support are proportionally far lower in predominantly non-Jewish areas than in Jewish areas. According to the press, an Interior Ministry report released during 1998 notes that non-Jewish communities receive significantly less government financial support than their Jewish counterparts. Israeli-Arab organizations have challenged the Government's "Master Plan for the Northern Areas of Israel," which listed as priority goals increasing the Galilee's Jewish population and blocking the territorial contiguity of Arab villages and towns, on the grounds that it discriminates against Arab citizens.

Report on International Religious Freedom: Israel Israel has no constitution; however, the law provides for freedom of worship, and the Government generally respects this right in practice. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom during the period covered by this report. The Declaration of Independence describes the country as a "Jewish and democratic state." The overwhelming majority of non-Jewish citizens are Arabs and they are subject to various forms of discrimination. It is not clear that whatever discrepancies exist in the treatment of various communities in Israeli society are based on religion per se. In June 2000, the Government proposed a plan to help redress some of the gaps in government spending for Arab communities. In March 2000, the High Court of Justice ruled that the Government's use of the Jewish National Fund (JNF) to develop public land was discriminatory, as the JNF's by-laws prohibit sale or lease of land to non-Jews. Evangelical Christians, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Reform and Conservative Jews suffered some incidents of harassment, threats, and vandalism during the period covered by the report; members of these religious groups complained that the police were slow to investigate these incidents. Relations between different religious groups often are strained, both between Jews and non-Jews, as well as among the different branches of Judaism. The U.S. Government discusses religious freedom with the Government in the context of its overall dialog and policy of promoting human rights.

Where We Stand Subscribe to the Brit Tzedek v'Shalom General Announcement List Brit Tzedek v'Shalom Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace Perspectives from the President August, 2002 The Occupation Endangers Democracy in Israel By Marcia Freedman Supporters of Israel have always expressed pride in Israeli democracy, pointing out, correctly, that it is the only democratic country in the Middle East. With a well-established parliamentary and electoral tradition unquestioningly respected and adhered to by all and an independent judiciary, Israel comes very close to emulating the democratic regimes of the West. But as we have seen in this country since September 11, civil rights and civil liberties are easily sacrificed on the altar of national security. In Israel, where national security has been a paramount concern since before the establishment of the state, civil rights and civil liberties-the third leg of the stool of democratic rule-have never been legally protected. They have been upheld only by custom, and sometimes sporadically. For the most part, the right to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, freedom of movement, the public's right to know and other basic rights are only granted as a matter of custom but not of law. During the past two years, as the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli response to it have grown increasingly violent and as Israelis have felt their personal security ebbing, protection of civil rights and civil liberties has assumed an even lesser place in the order of public and political priorities.

28. Clinging Hypocritically To Civil Rights HAARETZ (israel) Clinging hypocritically to civil rights. David Kretzmer It can be argued that even if the State of israel violated international law by http://pamolson.org/ArtIllegalColonies.htm

HAARETZ (ISRAEL) Clinging hypocritically to civil rights David Kretzmer 9 January 2005 Illegal Israeli colonists don't have a leg to stand on. Evacuating a person from his home is deeply hurtful, regardless of the circumstances. Therefore, even someone who opposed the settlement enterprise in the territories, as I did, must be empathetic toward the pain of the settlers who will be forced to leave their homes under the disengagement plan. However, this is a far cry from maintaining that the evacuation, which will be accompanied by commensurate compensation, is an unacceptable violation of the settlers' civil rights. That argument completely ignores the moral and legal basis of the settlement by Israeli citizens in areas that are not part of Israel's sovereign territory and have, since 1967, been administered under a regime of belligerent occupation. I will not deal here with the moral aspect, but will confine my remarks to the legal side. An analysis of this aspect uncovers the hypocrisy of those who attack the disengagement plan by invoking the civil-rights argument. This is because the same legal framework that is cited in order to allocate land to the settlements is abandoned when their evacuation comes up. As noted, the Gaza Strip and West Bank are under a regime of belligerent occupation. This assertion, with its implications, is not held by experts in international law and international institutions alone. It rests on extensive rulings of the Supreme Court and has provided the basis for many actions carried out in the territories since 1967. The lands on which most of the Jewish settlers in Gaza and the West Bank reside were seized through the cynical exploitation of the powers that accrue to a military commander in this regime. If the lands were privately owned, they were seized "for military needs" (a practice that was abandoned in the wake of the court judgment in the Elon Moreh case).

Africa Americas Asia Afghanistan ... Palestine Palestine Human Rights Campaign Background Get Involved Divestment from Israel Lobbying Congress ... Resources The dispute between Israel and the Palestinians is one of the longest unresolved conflicts in modern history. Beginning with the declaration of the state of Israel in 1948, for more than 55 years the conflict has cost thousands of lives, involved neighboring countries in major wars, and unsettled the politics of the entire region. Palestinians and Israelis, the United States, and most of the world want the conflict to end. Given the almost universal desire for peace, Global Exchange believes that understanding the obstacles to peace is crucial, and that it is our role as a human rights organization to call attention to dimensions of this conflict that have been historically neglected in the United States. This is especially important because so many Americans want the United States to play a constructive role in ending it. Some of the obstacles that stand in the way of peace have received much attention in this country. Suicide bombings directed against Israeli civilians have been massively condemned, and the Palestinian leadership subjected to relentless diplomatic, economic and military pressure from both Israel and the U.S. to find and arrest the bombers. Global Exchange condemns violence directed against civilians, and we mourn the deaths of all innocents—Israelis who have been the victims of bombings, and the much larger number of Palestinian civilians killed by the Israeli military and by settlers.

The organisation recruits civilians from around the world to participate in accompaniment and acts of non-violent resistance against the Israeli occupation of the West Bank , the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem . The group has attracted a great deal of criticism and controversy, as well as praise for its methods, some of which is explored below. Contents Goals Strategies Noteworthy ISM events Controversies regarding the ISM ... edit Goals The International Solidarity Movement considers the main obstacle to peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to be what they describe as the "Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory." To expose and counter Israeli activities in the West Bank and Gaza Strip , the ISM states its commitment to four goals: To dramatize the conditions under which Palestinians live and to protect them from physical violence by Israeli soldiers and settlers in alliance with Palestinian peace activists and through efforts at "creative resistance".

Jerusalem Forum Jerusalem News Articles ... Home Daily News Press Release July. 30. 2005 The Legalisation of Human Rights Violations: Israeli Knesset Passes Two Discriminatory Laws in One Day by Al-Haq Al-Haq is gravely concerned by the Israeli Knesset's (parliament) passage on 27 July 2005 of two amended laws, the Israeli Civil Wrongs Law (Compensation Law) and the Nationality and Entry into Israel Law (Family Unification Law). These laws not only deny Palestinians their fundamental rights under international human rights and humanitarian law but are also of a clearly discriminatory nature. The right to an effective remedy is upheld in, inter alia, Article 8 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and Article 2 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Customary international humanitarian law, as reflected in the Fourth Hague Convention Respecting Laws and Customs of War on Land and the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions also clearly maintains that States are liable to pay compensation for violations which result in injury to protected persons. This right has also recently been further codified in the UN Basic Principles and Guidelines on the Right to a Remedy and Reparation for Victims of Gross Violations of International Human Rights Law and Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law.

Iraq Communalism US Imperialism Peak Oil ... Contact Us Love And Marriage In Israel By Suraya Dadoo The Electronic Intifada 12 November 2003 I n February last year, Gili and Sagi, a young Israeli couple, were "married" at sea - a marriage that was not legally recognised by the State of Israel. Although they are both Jewish, the couple objected to the only marriage option open to them in Israel: an Orthodox Jewish ceremony. Instead, they chose a marriage contract that they drew up themselves, together with a lawyer, thus rendering their union illegal. On the other side of the divide, Aneesa, an Arab Israeli, who holds a Jerusalem ID, married a Jordanian three years ago. "Because he also carries a Gaza identity card, he is not allowed in Jerusalem. Forget getting his own Jerusalem ID, he is not even allowed to visit here," says Aneesa. She cannot remember the last time she saw her husband. For all the differences that exist between these two couples, they share one major parallel: both couples are unhappy with the current marriage laws in Israel. Paradoxically, Israel is touted as the only "democracy" in the world that does not offer its citizens the option of civil marriage. Since 1953, only Orthodox Jewish marriages, and civil marriages performed outside Israel, have been legally recognised by the Israeli state. While interfaith and other religious marriages are not prohibited, they are also not legally recognised by the state.

Commentary Security Detainees/Enemy Combatants U.S. Law Prohibits Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment Any practice of torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment by United States officials violates international human rights standards to which the United States is a party. These include the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the Torture Convention), and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The use of torture also violates U.S. law. In 1994, Congress passed a new federal law which specifically provides for penalties including fines and up to 20 years' imprisonment for acts of torture committed by American or other officials outside the United States. In cases where torture results in death of the victim, the sentence is life imprisonment or execution. "Renderings" to countries known to engage in routine torture violate article 3 of the Torture Convention, which prohibits sending an individual to another state where there are "substantial grounds for believing that he would be in danger of being subjected to torture."
