      Border Police to Learn: Jews Have Rights Too


      Border Guard police chief Yisrael Yitzchak agreed Sunday to allow rights activists to lecture border police officers on respecting the rights of Jews in Judea and Samaria. The education session will focus on the rights of Israelis during evacuations of their outpost homes.

      Orit Strook, head of the Organization for Human Rights in Judea and Samaria, appealed to the Border Guard command to allow the lecture to take place after reading in the army magazine Bamachaneh (In the Camp) that border police officers would receive a lecture from pro-Arab groups about respecting human rights.
