This week, B’Tselem, one of Israel’s oldest anti-occupation groups, published a groundbreaking report describing Israel as an “apartheid regime” from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. This is the first time since the organization’s founding in 1989 that B’Tselem refers to policies inside the Green Line, as opposed to focusing solely on the occupied territories.
Along with the publication of B’Tselem’s full report on its website, the organization sent press releases to the media in Israel and abroad; the story was picked up by major outlets including The Guardian (which also hosted an op-ed by B’Tselem’s executive director Hagai El-Ad), Le Monde, El País, NPR, CNN, NBC, ABC, Bloomberg, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Independent, AP, RFI, and Politiken.
