BeZelem - Menschenrechtsorganisation in Israel

Die Israelische Menschenrechtsorganisation BeZelem, beschreibt die Menschenrechtsverletzungen in Israel nicht nur einäugig.

B'Tselem in Hebrew literally means "in the image of," and is also used as a synonym for human dignity. The word is taken from Genesis 1:27 "And God created humans in his image. In the image of God did He create him." It is in this spirit that the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "All human beings are born equal in dignity and rights."
