Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yesh Din (Hebrew: ) is an Israeli human rights group providing legal assistance to citizens of the Palestinian territories. It is named after Hebrew language phrase "there is law". The group has been active since March 2005. Yesh Din monitors the IDF investigations into troops' and Israeli settlers suspected crimes against Palestinians. Following the 2008-2009 Israel-Gaza conflict, the group denounced the distribution of booklets which according to the group "bordered on incitement to racism", encouraging Israeli soldiers to fight an enemy described as "murderers" and advising them to "show no mercy". The distribution of the booklets caused IDF to reprimand one its officers, describing the case as an "isolated incident". On January 30, 2009, the Associated Press reported that Yesh Din plans to use a classified Israeli government database to prove that many West Bank Israeli settlements were built on land privately owned by Palestinian citizens without compensation.
