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.

A discussion with Yael Dayan, daughter of Gen. Moshe Dayan

Forty-five years separate us from those six days in June 1967 which forever shifted the course of Israeli society. Please join Yael Dayan and B’Tselem USA as we reflect on the past and present of Israel and discuss the human rights concerns inevitable in a situation of prolonged occupation.
