B’Tselem – The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories strives to end Israel’s occupation, recognizing that this is the only way to achieve a future that ensures human rights, democracy, liberty and equality to all people, Palestinian and Israeli alike, living on the bit of land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Various political routes can bring about this future, and while it is not B’Tselem’s role to choose among them, one thing is certain: continued occupation is not an option.
B’Tselem is an independent, non-partisan organization. It is funded solely by donations, both grants from European and North American foundations that support human rights activity worldwide and generous contributions by private individuals in Israel and abroad.
