B'Tselem: An Overview

B'Tselem is an Israeli non-governmental organization that documents human rights violations in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). Founded in 1989 by a group of Israeli lawyers, academics, and journalists, B'Tselem's mission is to "end the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, and to promote a just and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians."

B'Tselem's work focuses on documenting human rights violations committed by the Israeli military and settlers in the OPT, as well as the impact of the occupation on the Palestinian population. The organization uses a variety of methods to gather information, including field research, interviews with victims and witnesses, and analysis of official documents.

B'Tselem's reports have been widely cited by human rights organizations, governments, and the media. The organization has also been the target of criticism from both the Israeli government and pro-Israel groups, who have accused it of bias and of supporting Palestinian terrorism.

Despite the criticism, B'Tselem continues to document human rights violations in the OPT and to advocate for an end to the Israeli occupation. The organization's work is vital to ensuring that the human rights of Palestinians are protected and that the Israeli government is held accountable for its actions.
