If you ever need factual documentation and eyewitness accounts of Israel's past and continuing violations of the human rights of Palestinians, I have listed below a categorized list of the titles of Reports from B'Tselem sent to me from 2001 to 2014. Some in the media devote much time to the issue of the illegal settlements which is appropriate but there are so many other inhumane aspects of the occupation that get overlooked and are barely covered.
B’TSELEM
- The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in
the Occupied Territories was established in February 1989 by a group of
prominent academics, attorneys, journalists, and Knesset members to document
human rights violations in the Occupied Territories, combat the phenomenon of
denial prevalent among the Israeli public, and help create a human rights
culture in Israel.
