		PHR-I and its partners are again shown to be incapable of recognizing Palestinian failures, preferring to concentrate on furthering an anti-Israel agenda.

	Pictures Can Distort a Thousand Words - Physicians for Human Rights
		PHR claimed that the "images depict the current state of health rights in Israel and the Occupied Territories." The Haaretz English edition is widely read by foreign diplomats, journalists, aid workers and many foreign policy makers with an interest in the Middle East.
		PHR does discredit to its cause by contradicting its own ideal of "opposing the subjugation of medical care to political considerations of any kindno matter who the author or the victims." Presenting the publication without any context renders it misleading and demonstrates the centrality of PHR's ideological dimension and objective.
		There are four very different approaches that, to quote from the PHR mission statement, "a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, dedicated to promoting and protecting the medical human rights of all resident of Israel and the Occupied Territories" should have taken to produce a balanced, informative brochure.

	SSRN-Human Rights as a Contingent Foundation: The Case of Physicians for Human Rights by Neve Gordon
		By positioning local human rights activism vis-a-vis the international inventory of rights, the paper's first part reveals that in the domestic sphere the conception of universal human rights is constituted through a series of exclusionary practices.
		While the empirical analysis focuses on two domestic settings, building on the work of Judith Butler I go on to show that in the international arena human rights are also contaminated by exclusionary ideological forces, arguing that their universality should also be conceived as provisional rather than absolute.
		Human rights, I conclude, are still a vital reference point for judging the morality of political, social, and economic practices, but they cannot be taken for granted and must be continuously subjected to critical assessment, particularly by the rights NGOs themselves.
