1. TRACKING$$$..the anti-israel left
LT COL HOWARD ,   WASHINGTON DC USA   (01.11.11)
The United States Treasury Department (Mr. Levy) and the US Department of Defense reached similar results. Massive influx of Saudi money, has for years fueled these organizations as well as many University Middle East studies centers. The British company BAE "was exposed as a major conduit for Saudi funds and bribes.
2. Consider the following:
Ros ,   Israel   (01.11.11)
If israel's left wing organizations are funded by anti-israeli movement then how many of the european and worldwide organizations are being funded by arab anti democratic- anti israel countries? Yes gentelmen, all of the current israel-hatered is simply an arab manipulation - israel is a peace loving country and when you blame israel of "liar" or "hurting innocent palestinians" you should really think again because its the other way around. and we have been trying to say that worlwide - but israel dosnt fund billions and millons of dollars for brainwashing like the arab countries do. so noone belives us. its your loose (the world)
3. SO, the lefties admit getting money from foreign governments
Yosi ,   Gilo-Jerusalem   (01.11.11)
Read the last 3 paragraphs, they admit it. However, they claim "friendly" governments? Doesn't matter, it's illegal. Right, friendly governments trying to destroy Israel. Friendly to muslims and enemies to Israel is more to the truth.
4. West European countries act and talk as enemies of Israel
Jorge ,   Tegucigalpa   (01.11.11)
They most of the times legitimize attacks against Israel by sworn enemies openly bent in destroying Israel while delegitimizing Israels defensive actions against those attackers, the funds they so generously allocated to NGOs in Israel by those goverments, go to Israeli organizations, that also act and talk, as Arabs, they will never fund Im Tirzu or MDA
5. kol hakovad
fad egypt   (01.11.11)
to any knesset member voted for that law and especially for yisrael beitanu members and likud mk danny danon at last israel became able to stand up to all its enemies even the most neglected ones (the enemy within) which has been neglected by many governments and which are considered the most dangerous even more than hamas and hizbullah god bless all who advanced that law shalom and god bless israel
6. Treason
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.11.11)
Switzerland, Denmark, Holland and Sweden are scarcely countries friendly to Israel. The Israeli left has gotten caught with its pants down. The leadership of these assorted Jew- and Israel-hating organizations should be tried for treason. Treason is a capital crime in Israel.
7. The Israeli left continues to sink to new disgusting lows
Willie Gould ,   Dallas, TX/ J'lem   (01.11.11)
These people have no shame, nor they have a shred of honor
8. This is Accurate
Tony ,   Teaneck, USA   (01.11.11)
Im Tirtzu gets its information from the Shin Bet. Bibi has decided to dismantle these groups & start removing the EU diplomats from "East Jerusalem."
9. Thats great news!
Nour ,   One State   (01.11.11)
More please? Keep the money flowing.
10. 'Liberals' supported by terror money
Mikey   (01.11.11)
Nothing new under the sun, this is a worldwide disease. Lefties get money from people who carry swords, hatred and have nothing to do with 'rights' at all. Lefties support the same people who will eventually destroy them. Time to end this party, there's a place for those dark agents, in jail.
11. So what? From where does receive it's funding?
Bruno ,   Israel   (01.11.11)
Would it be illegal to Fund a Jewish organization in Canada to strengthen the Jewish identity their? We can no longer claim that you are the only democracy in the Middle east because seriously we are becoming a dictatorship. Lieberman is Israel worst nightmare!
12. when liberal became synonymous with anti Israel
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (01.11.11)
I have noticed that in the past ten to twenty years the term liberal began to line up with anti Israel, something it NEVER meant before. I, a liberal, always understood liberalism meaning the ability to think past the box, to think originally, and not to be influenced by stereotypes. Yet I became more and more surprised when liberal thinking and anti-Israel became married to each other. I suspected that liberal became left and individual thinking disappeared, but now the truth seems to come out. Liberal groups have fallen under the influence of MONEY and money corrupts. May we merit to see the rise of the real liberal, the person who can think for himself, beyond popular misconceptions and perverted beliefs..
13. There's only one way to curb the Left:
tom ,   tel aviv   (01.11.11)
if you're a waiter: refuse to serve latte to someone you recognize as an enemy of your state, socially: don't invite to dinner friends, that participate in left-wing activities, when your wife makes a subscription to Ha Aretz (El-ard) divorce her ! Holly Obama- that's my wife!! I know I should....but.... and that's our downfall: we're reasonable & educated. No sneering please!
14. #9 NOW WE KNOW WHO PAYS YOU!!!!

17. #12 I agree with you but the real name is: useful idiots
rachel ,   usa   (01.11.11)
Politically correct useful idiots that is!!!!!!! What scares them the most is to be called a right winger hahahahah
18. To #11, you're missing the point
Howard Immanuelson ,   US   (01.11.11)
You're missing the point, Bruno. It may not be illegal for these groups to be receiving money but there's absolutely nothing wrong with shining the light of day on the enemy countries that are funding the enemy within Israel.
19. Maybe the US should reopen its investigation of AIPAC?
Hostage   (01.11.11)
That is what I've asked my Congressman to demand. We need more Lieberman-style openness and transparency.
20. Ridiculous
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (01.11.11)
Whole concept of Israel was based on foreign money, wasn't it?
21. Funding of Leftist Organisations in Israel
Spencer ,   Israel   (01.11.11)
There's no smoike without fire! The the sources of funding for these left wing organisation can be proved, publish them and left decent people of Israel know just how low these left wing groups will go to bash Israel. These groups are a cancer in the body of Israel and should be excised.
22. Enemy Money Funding Israel's Left.
OnTheOtherSide ,   USA   (01.11.11)
23. kol akavod im tirzu, that means that extream
ghostq   (01.11.11)
left winger should be out lawed.
24. THh did say we have nothing to hide but...
Omri ,   Israel   (01.11.11)
they where also very angry about it. Also, its important to note its the extreme left were talking about, not all the left. Their a disgrace.
25. And who funds the settlers? And who does AIPAC represent?
David ,   Los Angeles   (01.11.11)
26. Funds
Ralph ,   Casaeea   (01.11.11)
mk's should also investigate who fins Naturei Karta, the religious anti zionist gang.
27. to #25 setlers pay taxes to Israeli gov
ghostq   (01.11.11)
so what is your point, Aipac isn't terror org and never gives money for weapons only to promot comunities centers and not in the setelments, before making stupid commets you should check the facts.
28. to #24 there is no moderate left wingers
ghostq   (01.11.11)
now days.
29. Enemy Money Funding Israel's Left.
OnTheOtherSide ,   USA   (01.11.11)
How low can these people get? The Israeli left considers itself to be the intellectuals of the country. A couple of word to describe their intellect are: Screwed up and best or dangerous idiots. While the world was is asleep tens of millions of Muslims and Arabs have settled around the world and are throwing their weight around. In Holland Ministers need to be protected around the clock because they are threatened to be killed by the Muslims, Latin America is the new front for Muslims to conquer and they are doing very well. Unlike the Muslim conquests of the 15th century today's Muslims a new tactic of invading the world, they just flood the world with Muslims, so far it has been very successful, in Europe they numbers are growing rapidly, both by immigration and by birth, They are being provided with all their need at taxpayers expense. They intimidate the local population and little by little this naive world is turning into a Muslim world. If you think that these are empty words, just wait and see. In the USA from a few hundred thousand Muslims in the 1970's there are today 9-10 million and growing, and so does their influence.
30. Normalization before peace is rejected ; )
Salma ,   Palestine   (01.11.11)
do you say that some Jews are not loyal to "Israel" but to the money ?!! or Is it all just lies to justify repression against anyone who dares to say NO to "Israeli" government policies
