Israel leads Middle East in human rights

Israel is a liberal democracy with universal citizen suffrage and an independent judiciary. Its Declaration of Independence (1948) guarantees basic human rights to all inhabitants. Israel is also one of the most progressive nations on Earth with regards to gender equality. Israel co-founder Golda Meir became one of the first female heads of state when she was elected prime minister in 1969, and women frequently serve at high levels in both military and civilian life.

In a region where many nations are becoming less diverse and less tolerant to minorities, Israel stands alone. Israel has the only growing Christian population in the Middle East and is home to an Islamic political party.

All Israeli citizens - Christians, Muslims and Jews - have freedom of religion and the right to vote. All Israelis have equal access to education, employment opportunities, and modern healthcare. Here are some posters to consider displaying in your city.
