Yes. Israel is violating numerous human rights, especially in the West Bank Territories and the Gaza Strip.

Palestinians in the West Bank often have to deal with the problems of military occupation and often have to deal with the following types of human rights violations: Lack of Freedom of Movement (Curfews, Checkpoints, and Searches), Lack of Freedom of Assembly (Protests and Riots are strongly curbed), Lack of Right to Self-Defense (Weapons are denied to Palestinian Civilians - save police), and Violations of Personal Privacy (Israeli soldiers will squat in Palestinian homes).

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip live under an Israeli blockade that effectively prevents the influx of necessary materials to build a viable economy.

However, it is worth noting that Israel is not one of the major violators of human rights and often gets more flack for its actions than many more significant violators including: Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, China, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia, Turkey, Uganda, Vietnam, etc.

Israel also protects numerous human rights denied in many other countries such as: the Right to an Abortion, Women's Rights, Right to Vote, Right to Freedom of Speech and the Press, Right to Bring Claims before a Court (the Israeli Supreme Court also accepts Palestinian Cases making it the only Supreme Court in the world to extend civil jurisdiction to a militarily occupied region), the Right to Sexual Freedom (including recognition of Homosexual Marriages), and the Freedom of Religion.
