In an email to its “supporters,” Mitchell Plitnick, Director or B’Tselem’s US office, called for “support [for] the Obama Administration’s efforts to end house demolitions in East Jerusalem.”

Shockingly, his email concluded with the following sentence: “Please let President Obama know that you support Secretary Clinton’s statement and urge the whole administration to follow these words up with actions to ensure Israel’s respect for human rights.” (emphasis added)

What “actions” are being recommended by B’Tselem? Is B’Tselem demanding sanctions or boycotts? The withholding of US financial support to Israel? Military strikes?
