ing the State Department's
eighth annual country re-
ports on human rights prac-
tices.
The 1,485-page report
which covers conditions in
163 countries during 1983
was submitted to the Senate
Foreign Relations Commit-
tee and the House Foreign
Affairs Committee.
As in the previous re-
ports, the 1983 edition lauds
Israel as a free and open
parliamentary democracy.
"But the report adds,
"The most significant
human rights problems
for Israel (in 1983) de-
rived from the strained
relations between the Is-
raeli authorities and the
Arab inhabitants of the
occupied territories.
These problems were

plementation of its policy
of strengthening, ex-
panding, and developing
Jewish settlements in
those areas."
While the report is
laudatory about conditions
in Israel it does note that
while Israeli Arabs have
equal rights under the law,
they "are substantially
powerless and tend to feel
alienated. Despite some
governmental and private
efforts to bridge the gap
there is little social interac-
tion with Israeli Jews."
Israel is credited for
allowing the establishment
of four universities in the
West Bank but it is noted it
"has deported faculty mem-
bers for taking political
stands that it regards as
threatening to its security.
Israel has permitted out-
spoken criticism of Israeli
policy by the East
Jerusalem-based Arabic
press but has often censured
articles and editorials on se-
curity grounds and and re-
stricted the circulation of
Arabic publications in the
West Bank and Gaza.
"In addition, Israel has
imposed broad restrictions
on speech and assembly in
those areas."
The report finds "no evi-
dence that torture is con-
doned by Israel's
authorities" and notes that
while some Palestinian
prisoners charge mistreat-
ment, some of these charges
"seemed to result from anti-
quated or overcrowded
places of detention to which
not only Palestinians are
subject."
The situation in Israel
is contrasted with its
Arab neighbors where
