Towards the end of the Ford administration, US Congress passed legislation requiring the State Department to prepare a yearly report on the status of human rights in each country that received U.S. economic assistance. This article argues that the 1986 report on Israel and the occupied territories is ahistorical, inconsistent, and selective in its reporting of events. The authors see the report as another facet of the multidimensional effort in the United States to discount the Palestinian struggle for freedom from military occupation, discrimination, violence, and dispersion.
