Watch Yuli Novak, director of BtS, speak at the ‘Breaking the Silence Breakers’ conference at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, 07.02.16
Nearly 23 minutes but worth watching in full as the first and most important opportunity to hear directly how the campaign of incitement against BtS and other Israeli human rights NGOs feels from within. [Novak’s statement that the money trail of the ’foreign agents’ campaign leads to the Yesha Council was subsequently corrected to refer to the Samaria Residents Committee.]
