The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Rabbis for Human Rights



Promote Liberty and Justice For All
Take Action for Human Rights


Wash you, make you clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes, cease to do evil.
learn to do well
seek judgement
relieve the oppressed
judge the fatherless
plead for the widow
Isaiah 1:16-17

Rabbis for Human Rights is the rabbinic voice of conscience in Israel, giving voice to the Jewish tradition of human rights. Our activities in promoting justice are based on the teachings of Biblical and Judaic sources on how we as ordained Rabbis, as Jews and as Human beings should relate to the “other”.


Human Rights are Universal
They belong to everyone, regardless of their race, sexuality, citizenship, gender, nationality, ethnicity, or abilities.
Human Rights are Inherent
We are all born with human rights. They belong to people simply because they are human
********************

We could learn alot from these Rabbis, do you share my view?

"rabbinic voice of conscience in Israel"

"Each of these tasks is illustrated by how movements for the rights of women and sexual minorities have come to impact on the transnational Muslim world and international human rights."


Yes its in the right direction, but its unfortunate that westerners or non muslims compiled it, do muslims recognize human rights?

Of women, or sexual minorities, i mean how can they scream for the rights of the palestine people yet they most muslim countries give next to no rights for women or sexual minorites.

A news story today was how young muslim women in the middle east are forced to marry old men who have money by there familes, this one girl in aghanistan was beaten on a daily basis by husband & his sons, she left him, now she has been accused of adultery, apparently when a yound muslim woman leaves her grandad husband, the first thing he accuses her of is adultery, this lady went to the police they arrested her & put her in jail for a month.

I really dont know how muslims can cry out for the rights of palestine people all year round, yet 60% of the populations(women & sexual minorities) have next to no rights.

Here we have rabbi's trumpeting human rights, how about a cleric or a iman doing so aswell, did not mohammed teach the rights of all, or did he just say men?

I see your awake brian & online getting ready for work no doubt, i putthis thread here for you whats your take on these peace loving rabbi's??????

Great work. It actually shows that not all religious Jews are orthodox ultra Zionist Jews bent on exterminating Palestinians.. added to the work of Israeli Newspapers and journalists like the Haaretz and Amira Hass shows that like muslims, we are not all extemists. Its more of a question of Size, didn't first come the right of a people (african Americans in the 60s) then the rights of the Women (70s to 80s) ? Australia signed its Anti sexual Harassment act in 89 i think.. it was after the charter on human rights. If you get rights for Palestinians, i think rights for women would follow as well.


That site was put together with the assistance of muslims living in the west... As the world becomes more globalised, then maybe the Islamic religion can evolve as well.
The question is, can it evolve without become like what modern Christianity is today ?
The next generation of young Muslims in the west, Educated in the west, are more liberal and open minded hold men and women in equal respect.

I see your awake brian & online getting ready for work no doubt, i putthis thread here for you whats your take on these peace loving rabbi's??????
It is good , but however on further analysis into this site , all that glisters is not gold Vincent I became disturbed on further reading into this site that :
Could the Right be right? (http://rhr.israel.net/could-the-right-be-right)
Bush’s call for a Palestinian state, which, under the present circumstances, is little more than sacrificing Israel so that even the Palestinian Authority, which has yet to arrest hundreds of Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives, bin Laden’s spiritual comrades-in-arms, will be part of the new American coalition?
The old paranoia that Palestinians will get their state worries our Rabbis , seems their vision of human rights does not extend to Palestinians .
With Bush’s seemingly quick capitulation, apparently all that is needed to achieve Israel’s destruction is for a few more Muslim extremists to stage another devastating attack on America.
Rabbis having an over inflated opinion of Israel self importance as Americas first line of defence against fanatic Arabs , and that if Israel is destroyed America is next , thereby linking each others fate .
Why are we afraid to entertain the possibility that, perhaps, America should bomb the Pakistani and Iranian nuclear reactors
Supposedly peaceful Rabbis finger crossing themselves in the hopes America bombs Iran and Pakistan into vast parking lots to preserve the promised land for the Chosen people .
Israel is not paranoic; the Muslim world is against us, and if bin Laden has his way, as presently seems to be the case, so will be the rest of the world.
And ending the article in the whole world is against us spiel .
his new reality makes me wonder: Could it be that the Right is right?
And a final chilling warning from our Rabbis that the Rightwing which spawned the mass homicidal maniac of Dr Baruch Goldstein is right .

No thank you Vincent the Rabbis concern of Human Rights is a mask for gullible people to swallow this is actually a Wolf in sheeps clothing , a site of religious bigotry and intolerance to other Human Beings .

Sorry i didn't spot it for myself. Thanks Foley. I wish i had the time to read through the site but it was at like 12 am AEST. Well, I guess you can't be an imam or a rabbi, and support human rights for ALL.

I see your awake brian & online getting ready for work no doubt, i putthis thread here for you whats your take on these peace loving rabbi's??????
Alas, Poor misguided leftists are no rarity among Jews in America or Israel.

Rabbis for Human Rights Slam Israel in Durban and Raise Funds for the PLO

David Bedein

On August 31, 2001, Horrific reports flowed into Jerusalem that the PLO was orchestrating a massive anti-Israel campaign at the special UN Anti-Racism conference that had been convened in Durban, South Africa. While more than twenty Jewish organizations organized a lobby to support Israel in Durban, one Jewish group joined forces with the PLO to support the idea that Israel, was indeed, an apartheid, racist regime.

That group was the Israel-based Rabbis For Human Rights, funded through the Shefa Fund in Philadelphia, the New Israel Fund in Washington, and the Economic Cooperation Foundation in Tel Aviv, founded by Yose Beilin, the architect of the Oslo Accords .
[...]
Rabbi Milgrom also confirmed that he appeared together with the well known Israeli anti-Zionist Dr. Uri Davis, the author of a new book "Israel: An Apartheid State" before a throng of more than 1,000 Moslems in the main mosque of Durban, an event which attracted great press attention.
[....]
In their fund-raising ads, the Rabbis for Human Rights have advocated a program to replant new olive trees for Palestinians, to "support Palestinian Families who have been suffering income losses for the duration of up to 9 years till the young olive trees reach maturity", and "to market olive oil bought from Palestinians, who often cannot sell their oil due to closures"
[....]
By early August, 2001, RHR had raised 70 Thousand dollars for their tree planting campaign.

Over the past few months, journalists have asked the Rabbis for Human Rights to verify their claim that Jews in nearby towns have been raiding Arab villages to chop down their olive trees. The Rabbis for Human Rights Cannot provide even One eyewitness or one police complaint.

When pressed to provide evidence that Jews are indeed uprooting olive trees in Arab villages, the response is that "We just know that this is happening", in the words of Rabbi Arik Ascherman, the director of the Rabbis for Human Rights, saying that he relies on reports from the PLO concerning allegations of "Olive Tree Uprooting".

Rabbi Ascherman referred to an Israeli activist, Neta Golan, who has been living in these Arab villages to provide what she describes as "eyewitness testimony of Israeli human rights abuses".
Rabbi Ascherman neglected to mention that Neta spent the good part of the past ten years incarcerated in mental health institutions, both in Israel and in Canada.

Meanwhile, Ascherman noted, the money is Not going to plant trees at this time, because the planting season starts in December.
Whenever Ascherman was asked about the distribution of funds collected by"Rabbis for Human Rights", Rabbi Arik Ascherman became suddenly vague.

Yet when Ascherman was pressed about how the "Rabbis for Human Rights" determine which Palestinian families should get the money for the loss that they have incurred from the losses of their olive trees, Ascherman had a clear answer: The Rabbis for Human Rights rely on Palestinian contacts to figure out which families should receive their support.

Which contacts? Ascherman identified the LAW organization, the PLO legal advocacy lobby. Yet a call to LAW revealed that LAW does not deal with the question of uprooting of trees. The LAW spokesman, Arjan El Fassed explained, that while LAW is not a humanitarian organization per se. he mentioned that monies that they receive from the Rabbis for Human Rights go to the families of the "martyrs" who have been killed over the past ten months. Asked to define what he means by "martyrs", El Fassed described the various attacks in which Palestinians have died in attacks on Israelis.

In other words, the Rabbis for Human Rights have been providing funds for the families of Suicide Bombers.
[....]

One thing is for certain: The Rabbis for human rights have No idea if and how the money that they have raised for olive tree replanting will ever get to people inside the Palestinian community.

The story from Kiwi123 or Abu-fak is a hack piece , both these organizations trade insults , the basis of it was Rabbis for Human Rights attended Durban’s anti racism conference . Rabbis for Human Rights never gave any money to the PLO .

Responding to Slander

8. "Which contacts? Ascherman identified the LAW organization....The LAW spokesman, Arjan El Fassed explained, that while LAW is not a humanitarian organization per se, he mentioned that monies that they receive from the Rabbis for Human Rights go to the families of the 'martyrs' ...Asked to define what he means by 'martyrs', El Fassed described the various attacks in which Palestinians have died in attacks on Israelis.
"In other words, the Rabbis for Human Rights have been providing funds for the families of suicide bombers."
This is a total falsehood. We have never given a shekel to LAW.
9. "Arjan El Fassed mentioned that the the Rabbis for Human Rights are also providing funds for the PLO's Land Defense Committee, another PLO lobbying group." The LDC is not a PLO organization. We have never given them a penny either. They are one of our primary partners in the struggle against home demolitions. We have in the past helped to fund the rebuilding of homes. None of those funds went to the LDC or even through the LDC.
As I said Vincent , Rabbis for Human Rights are Wolves in Sheep clothing , there supposed "Human Rights agenda " is really a front so people get hoodwinked .

You're not only anti-Israel, you're even against Jews who are against Jews.
These Wack jobs are giving money to the PLO Carte Blanche- to Martyrs/suicide Bombers.

It's true guy- they're not anti-Israel Leftists, like those Israeli 'peace groups',
they're really a Jewish Plot to make you think even Some of them are Humane.
Which YOU know can't be.
We understand you perfectly.
