2. We need to know where the funding is
jason white ,   afula, israel   (02.21.11)
coming from? If it is from hostile countries or organizations,then it must be stopped. If foreign governments are interfering with our security and future, they must stop. Anyone in the knesset afraid of this law should also be investigated, perhaps they too are receiving money from hostile elements.
3. Stupid decision by Netanyahu and Lieberman,
Genuine Moshe   (02.21.11)
The investigating committee should have been voted.
4. Law is fine, but weren't you going to start auditing?
leo ,   usa   (02.21.11)
5. A good start. Then start investigations.
Claudia ,   Tampa USA   (02.21.11)
The left is protesting too much. In any democracy openess and transparency is a must. The Peace Now people have been protected by leftists too long. Time to see where the $$ come from...though I think we know.
6. bibi blinks, israel pays
izzie irgun ,   zion   (02.21.11)

9. How can the Left be excited? ISM and Peace Now is foreign.
Yaniv ,   Israel   (02.22.11)
10. # 9
Jules   (02.22.11)
Yaniv, they are excited because they are not required to disclose their PAST donors (which may include openly anti-Israel countries and/or organizations). In future they will be more careful, and that's it, but their past deeds, unfortunately, now are not up to investigation.
11. Start to investigate where the peres
jason white ,   afula, israel   (02.22.11)
center for peace gets its money and who are the directors.
12. wake up israeli people!!
kidane ,   Eritrea   (02.22.11)
the israeli people needs to wake up from the trauma what the jews have experienced in thier history and need to select good politicians which really thinks for the future of the jews not radicals of the present ones.
13. The results will be the same
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.22.11)
No foreign governments have ever funded any of the right organizations. This we already know. We also know that not one of the leftist organizations aren't funded by foreign governments. This law is fine with us on the right. We DEMAND a complete ban on foreign governments funding any NGOs here. How does that grab you leftists?
14. Patience, dears: growing cojones takes time..
tom ,   tel aviv   (02.22.11)
15. To all "Left Wingers"
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (02.22.11)
Where ideology comes in, reason, independent thought, decency, good and natural behavior go out. Is the purpose of the universe and nature to be "Left Wing"? Are birds, animals, bushes, trees, mountains, lakes, rivers, oceans, continents, planet Earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, our galaxy and all of cosmos - "Left" or "Right"? Or should we assume that everything just is without judging things? If you "Left Wingers" are seeking the truth in ideology you are on the wrong path. The truth ceases to be the truth when obedience to and loyalty to organizations, religions and ideologies take precedence over independent thought. You "Left Wingers" may deny it, but you are just another cult. And who is your god? The Suicidal One? The Blind One? Or just the Hypocritical One?
16. to #10 the problem with bezelem that the org
ghostq   (02.22.11)
got false advertizing marketing themselves as zionist org, some donors r just clueless for their real activities.
17. Who are these bad people?
noa ,   israel   (02.22.11)
Judaism is strong yes, but in the last 4000 years, since when has it been Fascist? Just like we can't let crazy rabbis define Judaism and how the country should be run, we can't let these Knesset maniacs either. They would change the face of Judaism if they could. "Leftists", like it is something evil. The Sanhedrin was the most democractic of our sacred institutions. I think these errant Knesset members are non-Jews, and I suspect these rabbis are impure too!
18. Now I am glad and proud
Gregg ,   Haifa, IL   (02.22.11)
to belong to "Peace Now" organization and that the Israeli gov will know I am activly fighting for Human Rights respects.
19. Eitan Israel is NOT the USA
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.22.11)
20. Gutless Bibi! He will never be elected again!
Ricardo Macher ,   Karnei Shomron IL   (02.22.11)
