UK Office Labels Israel as "a Country of Concern;" Israel Is One of the Worst Human Rights Violators

The British Foreign Office has included Israel as "a country of concern" in a report on human rights violators, the Jewish Press website reports today (January 25, 2013).

Israel appeared on a list of 28 countries accused of perpetrating human rights violations in a quarterly report on human rights and democracy issued on January 24 by the foreign office.

The report cites the Gaza war of last year and other recent violence on the border, Israeli settlement expansion, and Israel's withholding of Palestinian tax revenues.

The part of the report on human rights violations in Iran was only half as long as the part about Israel, according to the European Jewish Press.
