Israeli Rights Groups Alarmed By Zionist Video Attack

Im Tirtzu

Reuters, 16/12 12:54 CET

JERUSALEM (Reuters) – An ultra-nationalist Israeli group has published a video accusing the heads of four of Israel’s leading human rights organisations of being foreign agents funded by Europe and supporting Palestinians “involved in terrorism”.

The widely-viewed 68-second video, made by a radical Zionist group Im Tirtzu, has been condemned by Israeli and international rights groups, with calls for Israel’s attorney general to investigate its producers for incitement.

Its publication comes at a time of heightened tension within Israeli society, with right-wing groups accusing the government of being too soft on Palestinian violence and left-wing groups advocating more restraint.

Titled “The Foreign Agents – Revealed!”, the video opens with dramatic, staged footage of a Palestinian-looking man drawing a knife on the street and moving to plunge it into a passerby.
