Human Rights Watch Criticizes Israel’s Policy in Occupied West Bank
-------------------------------------------------------------------



A new report from Human Rights Watch has accused Israel of harshly
discriminating against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank while
pouring funds into Jewish settlements. Carroll Bogert of Human Rights
Watch said Israel was carrying out "systematic discrimination merely
because of (Palestinians’) race, ethnicity and national origin,
depriving them of electricity, water, schools and access to roads." The
Human Rights Watch report is titled "Separate and Unequal."
