...if you are referring to domestic rights only. If you read the analysis of Israel's treatment of the press, virtually all the violations of press freedom take place in the occupied territories. This is why Israel is ranked 92, which is much closer to ME autocracies than Europe or the U.S. Similarly, my country (India) is given a poor ranking because of press treatment in Kashmir.

And this is representative of what many people on this board are saying. Nobody is criticising about Israel's democracy, labor laws, women's rights, or any other domestic policies which are not related to Palestine. These are all admirable, but they don't justify the occupation any more than America's domestic freedoms justify Bush's world-stomping policies.
