Have you read any articles by Norman Finkelstein? He charges Israel of deliberately messing up clear facts and misusing “anti-semitism” to cover up their own violations of human rights and international law. My background biasses me towards the Palestinians so I might not be totally balanced in recommending him. But if you thought the ideas presented in the PalestineComic were good, you should check out some of his speeches. – Noufal Ibrahim
Norman Finkelstein gives an interesting overview of his reception in Germany. It doesn’t really talk about about the conflict in Israel in Palestine, but about the Holocaust, charges against the Jewish Claims Conference (JCC), etc. It’s mostly about the reparation payments made by Germany. I know very little about this, but support reparation payments in general. Whether he is right or wrong in this context, I can’t say. Thanks for the link to the complete transcript of the Norman Finkelstein & Former Israeli Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami Debate. – Alex Schroeder

Almost forgot the last time. Since you are interested in looking at the human rights situations there, I presume you’re already familiar with ¹? It was founded by Israelis (including some members of the Knesset). It documents human rights records of Israel in the occuppied territories.

I liked the B'Tselem Photo Archive. Short and succinct material.
