(See the story of his arrest, There is a Kippah In the Rubble , below.) As expected, the prosecution attempted to argue that the arguments presented by Rabbis for Human Rights were not germane. The court granted the defense 20 days to submit evidence and material pertaining to the demolition of homes in East Jerusalem. The state will reply within 15 days after that. The date for the next court hearing has been set for March 24th.

Israel and the Occupied Territories Human Rights in Palestine Human Rights abuses are rampant in Israel. Until recently, torture was legal and the security forces routinely tortured political detainees, most of whom were never charged with any crimes. Methods include violent shaking of detainees, restraining in very painful conditions, sensory deprivation, sounding of loud music for prolonged periods and others. Several prisoners have died as a consequence of torture. It's hoped that a recent Supreme Court decision outlawing this practice, however, will finally put an end to this widely condemned practice. Israeli forces continue to arbitrarily detained hundreds of Palestinians on "security" grounds. Hundreds are put under administrative detention, without being charged or sentenced, in violation of internationally protected due process rights. Some are kept in prison for years without ever being charged. Hundreds more are sent to prison for political reasons following trials that do not comply with international due process standards. Often the main evidence against prisoners are confessions extracted through torture. Detainees are regularly denied visits from their lawyers or family members. Dozens of Lebanese are also being held in administrative detention in Israeli-controlled Southern Lebanon. This includes men, women and children. Some have been in prison for over ten years without charges. The Israeli Supreme Court

With the theme "End the Occupation!", the Conference is set to follow the general debate of the fifty-seventh session of the General Assembly. The two-day plenary will be devoted to discussions on "The daily face of occupation", "Civil society and occupation", "Challenging the occupation," and "Ending the occupation". Expert presentations on economic and humanitarian crises, strengthening networks of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in times of crisis and legislative and political advocacy will guide those discussions. The Committee also took note of the oral reports of two recent conferences the African Meeting on the Question of Palestine, and the most recent meeting of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) which marked the inaugural Summit of the African Union.

Home News Releases About HRW Get Involved ... RSS Knesset Should Reject Amendment to the Civil Wrongs Law Letter from Human Rights Watch to Knesset Members July 27, 2005 Dear Knesset Members Printer Friendly Version Free Email Newsletter Contribute to Human Rights Watch Human Rights Watch is extremely concerned about the proposed amendment to the Civil Wrongs (Liability of State) Law, 5712-1952 that you will be asked to vote on in a second and third reading on Wednesday, July 27. We urge you to reject this amendment in its current form, since it contravenes the State of Israel’s obligations under international law. The Civil Wrongs Law details the situations in which the State of Israel cannot be sued for damages, such as for the death or injury of a person as a consequence of his military service or for damages arising from “war time actions” against the State of Israel. The Law was previously amended in 2002 to greatly limit the ability of Palestinians from the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) from claiming damages. The law did this by expanding the definition of “war time action” to include “any action of combating terror, hostile actions, or insurrection, and also an action as stated that is intended to prevent terror and hostile acts and insurrection committed in circumstances of danger to life or limb.” The 2002 amendment also limited the scope of time for filing by allowing only sixty days from the date of the incident for the injured person to file a written notice of intent to make a claim and then a two-year period for filing an actual claim.

March 22 PHR Press Conference in Jerusalem [April 4, 2002] Unarmed Palestinian and Israeli children, women, and men are dying in great numbers. Violations of medical neutrality are occurring on almost a daily basis. The killing and targeting of unarmed civilians are atrocities and violations of human rights whether committed in war, occupation, or peace. This intensifying crisis requires that physicians and other health professionals of integrity in the region and throughout the world join to defend and uphold health and human rights in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank. The Israeli, Palestinian, and international medical communities should demand that the Israeli Defense Forces cease shelling and firing upon non-combatants, denying them access to food, water and essential supplies and assaulting medical facilities, personnel and transport all protected under international humanitarian law. They should proclaim loudly that suicide bombings against Israeli civilians come to an end. They should make demands of the international community to take affirmative steps toward protecting the rights of Palestinians within their own state and of Israelis to live within secure borders.

Grant making focused on supporting university-based scholarship and research, primarily through competitions organized by the foundation-sponsored Israel Foundation Trustees (IFT). To date, nearly $10 million has been distributed through the IFT, making the foundation one of the leading international funders of scholarly research in Israel. Since 1995, grant making addressed three major challenges confronting Israeli society: the need to protect civil and human rights; glaring inequities faced by the country's minority population; and ongoing conflict between Israel and its neighbors.
