Data Sheet, December 2017: Law enforcement on Israeli civilians in the West Bank

In late December 2017, Yesh Din published its annual data sheet on law enforcement on Israeli civilians suspected of ideologically motivated crime against Palestinians in the West Bank. The figures presented in the data sheet are based on Yesh Din’s monitoring of over 1,200 investigations opened since 2005 by the Judea and Samaria (JS) Police, the Israel Police district in charge of the West Bank, following complaints filed by Palestinian crime victims. The data shows that only 3% of investigations of ideologically motivated crime against Palestinians have resulted in a conviction.
