B'Tselem volunteers seem to be somewhat less than credible

Commenter Bob Knot looked a little deeper into my story this morning about a Hebron girl who tripped and hurt her mouth, and her father who claimed that she was being chased by a Jewish settler who did nothing to her after she tripped.

He discovered that the father was a B'Tselem volunteer. Here he is with a B'Tselem issued camera, and he has provided B'Tselem with many stories of Hebron.

On Friday, I reported about a B'Tselem volunteer who made wild claims about how Israelis are humiliating Palestinians at checkpoints, but the accompanying video shows no such abuse.

A year ago we showed how a B'Tselem worker who made up facts about an incident he "witnessed" and was proven to be an avid supporter of violence and terror.

And, of course, in 2014 a B'Tselem worker was caught on video denying the Holocaust.

It sounds like B'Tselem doesn't vet its volunteers to ensure that they adhere to the truth-telling and peace-loving standards of the organization.

Or perhaps B'Tselem actively seeks Israel-hating liars to fill its reports and justify its existence to the EU funders who love to throw money at anything that is anti-Israel.



We are doing everything we can to fight for Israel with hard work, research and - above all - the truth. I could sure use your help.
