DESCRIPTION:The rights of Palestinian people to land and shelter are a few of the 
 issues that Rabbis for Human Rights addresses in the Occupied Territories. 
 More info: http://www.rhr.israel.net\n\nharvesting rights\nRabbis for Human 
 Rights\nThe Olive Tree Campaign is an interfaith project, bringing 
 international and Israeli volunteers from all religious backgrounds 
 together to participate in planting and harvesting efforts. By coordinating 
 with the Israeli security forces and the local Palestinian population, and 
 through the physical presence of its members and volunteers, RHR helps 
 guarantee Palestinians’ access to their trees while reducing the number 
 of violent incidents and acts of theft during the harvest season. RHR sells 
 olive oil for Palestinians encumbered from selling their produce. 
 Volunteers document the successes and failures of the implementation of 
 scheduled times for Palestinians to cross the fence in order to harvest 
 their crops.\n\nhousing rights\nRabbis for Human Rights\nRHR works to 
 change the administrative policies that prevent approval of building 
 licenses for most Palestinians while leading to the demolition of homes 
 built without approval. RHR works to prevent demolitions through education, 
 lobbying, legal appeal, publicity, protest and, as a last resort, civil 
 disobedience. RHR also protests the policy of home demolitions by helping 
 to rebuild destroyed homes, and to ensure the rights of the cave dwellers 
 in the hills north of Arad. With this project, RHR seeks to ensure equality 
 under the law and to prevent the suffering, financial loss, and hatred that 
 result from administrative \n
