NGO B’Tselem report presents baseless claims of Israel dismantling Palestinian life in West Bank

WEST BANK AFFAIRS: B’Tselem accuses Israel of systematically dismantling Palestinian life in the West Bank, as Israel calls its central claim baseless.

AN ISRAELI flag flies near the West Bank settlement of Karnei Shomron, with a mosque in the Palestinian village of Kafr Lakif in the background. B’Tselem’s new report argues that Israel is making Jewish control of the West Bank increasingly irreversible, an allegation Israel and the IDF reject.

“The fact that in 55 incidents no criminal investigation was considered necessary raises doubts about the implementation of Israel’s declared policy on investigating civilian fatalities.”

NGOs are regularly scrutinized for their accountability to donors, but what about their accountability to the civil societies they are trying to help?
