| B'Tselem (Hebrew: בצלם, "in the image of", as in Genesis 1:27) is an Israeli non-governmental organization (NGO) that describes itself as "The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories". It was founded on 3 February 1989, by a group of Israeli public figures, including lawyers, academics, journalists, and members of the Knesset. B'Tselem's stated goals are "to document and educate the Israeli public and policymakers about human rights violations in the Occupied Territories, combat the phenomenon of denial prevalent among the Israeli public, and help create a human rights culture in Israel" |
One of their la-*test*-('") activities is the distribution of free cameras to the public for easier documentation of human rights violations.

| so theyre anti-zionist? |
They're human rights activists. They are clearly at odds with Israeli government policy, but Zionism/Anti-Zionism can suggest very different meanings to different people, so I don't see them defining themselves as such.

The Israeli Human Rights organisation B'Tselem has supplied almost 100 video cameras to vulnerable Palestinian communities to gather evidence of assaults by settlers and the Israeli defence forces. |
