Israeli Human Rights Groups Press War Crimes Investigation
January 2009
B’Tselem (the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories) has joined eight other prominent Israeli Human Rights organizations in calling on their government to put an end to their actions in Gaza. B’Tselem is Hebrew for “in the image of” and used as a synonym for human dignity. Since 1989, they have worked tirelessly to educate the Israeli public and policymakers on the reality of human rights violations in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. Today-as the death toll in Gaza has just passed 1,000-B’Tselem’s voice is needed more than ever to bring an end to the violence.
The entire list of Israeli organizations to endorse the call to action is:
- Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights In Israel
- Amnesty International Israel Section
- Bimkom – Planners for Planning Rights
- B’Tselem – The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights In The Occupied Territories
- Gisha – Legal Center for Freedom of Movement
- Hamoked – Center for Defense of The Individual
- Physicians for Human Rights – Israel
- Public Committee against Torture in Israel
- Yesh Din – Volunteers For Human Rights
