Richard Schifter, Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights and Humanitarian Af- fairs, made his comments at a briefing on the State Department's 1986 "Country Reports on Human Rights Practices," presented annual- ly to the Congress. The report assesses human rights condi- tions in all countries that are members of the United Na- tions. Schiffer described Israel as a democratic state which, like other democratic states has its "deficiencies and strengths." Israel's "complex human rights situation in the oc- cupied territories reflects the fact that, in the absence of a peace settlement, the ter- ritories remain under military administration and there is friction between occupation authorities and the Palesti- nian population," the report states. "Among the signs of friction are active resistance to the occupation, including episodes of violence, some- times encouraged by outside extremist groups." The Human Rights report goes on to note that this fric- tion "arises from security measures taken by Israel, ad- vocacy of annexation or per- manent control of the ter- ritories by some Israeli political figures, as well as the refusal of the main Palesti- nian organization to recog- nize Israel or to promote a negotiated peace." However, both Arab and Jewish residents suffered somewhat fewer violent acts in 1986 compared to 1985. The report said the Palestine Liberation Organization "fac- tions and various PLO dissi- dent groups claimed respon- sibility for nearly all violent acts against the IDF (Israel Defense Force), Israeli civil- ians, or Palestinians who disagreed with such groups. Most of the violence appears, however, to have been spon- taneous and local." Human rights abuses against Jews in other Middle East countries were less fre- quent than against other religious groups, although discrimination remains, ac- cording to the report. In Iran, Jews are permitted to practice their religion, but they are discriminated against in employment and public ac- commodation, according to the report. Jews are subject to travel restrictions which are not applied to members of other recognized religious groups," the report notes. In Syria, Jewish residents, totaling 3,000 to 4,000 in- dividuals, are given freedom to practice, and "enjoy a relatively high standard of living, access to higher educa- tion, and entrance into the professions," the report notes. But Syrian Jews are also bound by restrictions on foreign travel and religious training is prohibited. In Iraq, where the Jewish community totals only 400, there is "no evidence of persecution," the report notes. In Morocco, Jews, with a population of 10,000, are pro- minent in the business and government, and operate schools and social institu- tions, according to the report. King Hassan II's meeting with former Prime Minister Shimon Peres showed his sup- port for a Jewish community abroad. Tunisian Jews are per- mitted to practice freely, ac- cording to the report, al- though during periods of ten- sion synagogues and Jewish- owned shops have been at- tacked. But, in 1985, after the raid on PLO headquarters, the government took "ex- traordinary measures to pro- tect the Jewish community." In the Yemen Arab Repub- lic, there are no synagogues, but Jews are permitted to worship freely, according to the report. They are not per- mitted to communicate with Jews in Israel. Ethiopian Jews suffer economic discrimination, the report states, although "the stories of genocidal actions by Ethiopian authorities or of highly brutal behavior toward Ethiopian Jews has not been substantiated by American visitors to the area." In Egypt, the small Jewish community "appear to prac- tice their faith without restriction or harassment." In Argentina, which boasts the largest Jewish communi- ty in South America, occa- sional anti-Semitic incidents occur, the report notes. Legislation providing pen- alties for racial, religious, and other forms of discrimination has been has passed by the executive branch and the House and is awaiting ap- proval by the Senate. In Hungary, with a Jewish population of 100,000, the
