B'Tselem USA

Recognizing the central role of the United States both in terms of its historic alliance with Israel and its efforts to facilitate a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, B’Tselem has established an American presence to inform the political and public discourse in this country and to ensure that human rights are a centerpiece of both the bilateral relationship as well as diplomatic efforts.

"B'Tselem plays a crucial role, a brave and honorable role of calling Israel to live up to the words in its own Declaration of Independence, to be a state that will pursue freedom, justice and peace."
