Uri Zaki attacks B’Tzelem: 'A disgrace, the organization has become anti-Israeli'
Uri Zaki, former chair of Meretz’s executive committee, says he is ashamed to have been associated with B’Tzelem in the past, 'the organization has radicalized and is currently acting against Israel.'
Assessment
A former Meretz executive, once a political ally of the Israeli left, publicly denounces B’Tzelem as radicalized and anti-Israeli. This internal rupture within the left flank of Israeli politics underscores how accusations of disloyalty now penetrate ideological allies, not just opponents. The focal point is whether B’Tzelem’s current work has genuinely shifted in substance or whether the attack reflects a narrowing Overton window on acceptable criticism of Israel. No further details on specific actions prompting the denunciation are available from this report.
