Gaza: An Inside Look
Following Operation Cast Lead, B'Tselem gathered 15 young volunteers in Gaza, gave them video cameras, and asked them to document everyday life around them. Here are the results
Lift siege on Gaza
A short animated film, by Alon Simon, released by B'Tselem one year after Operation Cast Lead as part of a public campaign demanding that Israel lift its siege on the Gaza Strip.
Security forces’ violence harms us all
A short animated film, made by Alon Simon, launched as part of an internet campaign to illustrate the poisonous impact of the norms of violence common among soldiers in the Occupied Territories.
Means of Expulsion
Israel's attempts to expel some one thousand Palestinians who have maintained the way of life of their ancestors in the southern Hebron hills.
One Big Prison
Sience 2001, Israel has severely restricted freedom of movement to and from the Gaza Strip. These restrictions further strangled the Gaza Strip, so much so that the area resembles one gigantic prison.
Israel’s regime of apartheid and occupation is inextricably bound up in human rights violations. B’Tselem strives to end this regime, as that is the only way forward to a future in which human rights, democracy, liberty and equality are ensured to all people, both Palestinian and Israeli, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
Since the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023, Israel has acted in a coordinated and deliberate manner to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip, committing genocide against its residents. In light of Israel’s actions in Gaza, the public statements made by Israeli decision-makers, and the international community’s failure to take effective action, there is a serious risk that the Israeli regime will expand the genocide to other areas under its control—first and foremost, the West Bank.
B’Tselem calls on the Israeli public and the international community to use every tool available under international law to bring an immediate end to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.
