B'Tselem

B'Tselem is an outfit set up by Jews to expose evil done by Jews in Palestine, in the Stolen Land. Not all of them are evil - or am I being insufficiently cynical? The management are largely lawyers and journalists. Another similar group is Breaking The Silence. Jews like claiming that their army goes in for Purity of Arms. Some of them might even be stupid enough believe it.

Jews even allege that they have a moral obligation to make the world a better place; they call it Tikkun Olam. This lot seem to believe it.

B'Tselem
(Hebrew: "in the image of [God]") is an independent non-profit organization whose stated goals are to document human rights violations in the occupied territories, combat denial and help to create a human rights culture in Israel.[1] Its executive director is Hagai El-Ad.[2] B'Tselem also maintains a branch of the organization in Washington, D.C., called B'Tselem USA.

B'Tselem was founded in 1989, during the First Intifada, by Israeli academics and members of civil rights and leftist organizations.[3] B'Tselem's funding comes from private individuals (both Israeli and foreign), together with European and North American foundations focusing on human rights.[1]

B'Tselem has published over a hundred reports on various issues such as torture, fatal shootings by security forces, restrictions on movement, expropriation of land and discrimination in planning and building in East Jerusalem, administrative detention, house demolitions, violence by Israeli settlers and Palestinians, and Israeli operations in the occupied territories.

In December 1989, B'Tselem shared the Carter-Menil Human Rights Prize with the Palestinian group, Al-Haq.[4][5] B'Tselem has been harshly criticized by Israeli nationalists. In 2011, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman charged the group with abetting terrorism and weakening Israel's defense forces.[6]  .........................

Purity of Arms ex Wiki
The code of purity of arms (Hebrew: Tohar HaNeshek) is one of the values stated in the Israel Defense Forces' official doctrine of ethics, The Spirit of the IDF.

According to Rabbi Norman Solomon, the concepts of Havlaga and purity of arms arise out of the ethical and moral values stemming from the tradition of Israel, extrapolation from the Jewish Halakha, and the desire for moral approval and hence political support from the world community.[1] Despite doubts when confronted by indiscriminate terrorism, purity of arms remains the guiding rule for the Israeli forces.[1] These foundations have elicited a fair degree of consensus among Jews, both religious and secular.[1]

Others have challenged this image,[2][3] but according to Gideon Levy, the "majority of the Israelis is still deeply convinced that their army, the IDF, is the most moral army of the world, and nothing else".[4] A notable proponent of this image is Colonel Richard Kemp, a retired British army officer, who called the IDF the most moral army in the world on Israel's Channel 2 News.[5] The High Level Military Group, composed of military experts from Australia, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Italy, The United Kingdom, the United States, and Spain, released an assessment on Operation Protective Edge acknowledging Israel made "unprecedented efforts" to avoid civilian casualties exceeding international standards.[6]
