Israel, who should not be either justice minister or negotiating with tyhe Fakestinians. If given the chance, she and Lapid would destroy Jewish Israel.

This law is long overdue. US has a similar law and IRA is closely monitors anti American activity. Free speech is not a license to kill.

The tax should be 75-90%, and should be used to offset the taxes on regular Israeli citizens. As for Livni, I think she needs to be investigated as a foreign agent. Her treason is painfully obvious. The NGO law should be extended to include political parties that attempt to subvert the state in a similar fashion, which would enable the investigation and due taxation of Labor, Meretz, the Arab parties, and better yet, their elimination.

for the right-wing....as if they weren't already powerful enough in Israel....This is certainly not how democracy works...but than...right-wingers don't really want democracy

Anything that doesn't favor these misfits from the left is deemed undemocratic,dictatorial bad for Israel and isolates Israel......Screw them and squeeze them HARD....

I keep seeming references to legislation not being constitutional, what did I miss? I don't remember any constitution existing having been established. Can someone fill me in please!

of Israeli Left getting hysterical and loudly protesting every step, that is meant to ensure survival of our Land. They are doing the anti-Bolshevik propaganda themselves. Thank you Mrs.Zipora Schpitzer.

public instead of the ruling leftist elite.

Shame on "justice " minister .....

Any MK opposing the bill is most likely on the payroll of a foreign government slush fund. If I had to give away 45% of my income, I'd be pissed off as well! Oh, wait, I DO give away 45% of my income in taxes! How narrow-minded and anti-democratic of the government!

.....that not only do they need to change their collective pants everyday but also that they have inevitably left stains on the entire nation. The thin edge of an increasingly repressive wedge.

the right learned about democracy? Venezuela under Pinochet? Italy under Mussolini? Spain under Franco? I would like to see those Israeli rightwings going to some far-right country and act the way they do in Israel. This law is a very bad deal. _____________ Israelis denying Israelis a voice - left or right - is an embarrasment

Pinochet from Venezuela? How about Chavez from Venezuela? How shmock you are. Eze chamor ata.

advocating independence for Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, The Malvinas, Gibraltar, ending the occupation of N. Ireland and creating an UN member Islamic entity in Londonistan.

D'accord, Pinochet was from Chile. But that was not the point I wanted to rise. Contrary to you I don't try to use the feedback function to mock other people. There should be a serious discussion about the bahaviour at this page. And the feedback I was referring to (#29) is just a fine example of how some people block even the slightest form of dialogue from the very beginning. In this spirit, greetings to France.

Tax such contributions at 100% and decree that they are not tax-deductible because the funds are used to support terror. Decree that all such contributions must be declared and the sender's bank notified that the accountholder is supporting terrorist activity in contravention of public law. Confiscate the contributions because it is against Israeli law and public policy to provide financial aid to terrorist organizations. I'm not in the least bit worried about "punishing" the foundations -- it is, after all, against the law to support and promote terror, and that is precisely what these foundations do.

Ignoring your silliness with regard to 'Londonistan', I have absolutely no problem with Israel or anyone else funding such organisations. This called freedom of speech. You might have heard of it.

1) This law is long overdue, & should be tightened up further - for example, the level of funding for personalised disclosure could be lowered to a more realistic level. In the US, it is $2000; in Israel it is $20,000. There is still a lot of room for hiding things; 2) NGO's are the new "Shell Companies", as used by intelligence services & private political actors such as George Soros & other billionaires to circumvent the democratic process. This has become clear (& has been openly declared) over the last ~10 years. Google "Open Society Institute" or other related keywords; 3) Once, NGO's were voluntary organisations where people acted voluntarily, personally, & directly to right truly extreme social wrongs, or where Govt simply could not act due to size, diplomatic, or legal constraints. Now, they have become huge, profit making machines, often government subsidised, with their own (or secretly directed) agenda, purpose for existence, & self perpetuating interests. IMO, there is no doubt that Government, Multi National Corporates, & NGO's are slowly merging & interacting; 4) "Democracy is not a suicide pact", & no society can promote self destructiveness, even under the guise of allowing extreme free speech, opinions, actions, & alleged development & self renewal. It ultimately causes social fragmentation, chaos, & breakdown (which, BTW, is clearly happening in many societies today). The Left loves both chaos & extreme regulation (as long as it is in power), because then it can demand control, yet still claim 'Acting for progressive & the greater good". The basic tenet of any society or Nation-State is that its primary purpose is to protect its own citizens. There is no such thing as "Human Rights" in biological systems. At best, there are "Human Privileges" that societies accord to their members, based on their social philosophy; & only to the degree that is constructive, rather than destructive. "Rights" only exist if you can protect & sustain them over time. 5) It is easy enough to differentiate their purpose & conduct - there are: * NGO's that operate in the political arena, seeking to change policy or to provoke actions; * NGO's that operate in the charitable, educational, health, or environmental arenas; * NGO's that operate in the physical arena, building schools, hospitals, planting forests, etc. If anything, there should be laws requiring NGO self definition & purpose. They can be regulated by their own declarations & actions. 6) Bibi had a chance, ~2 years ago, to stabilise Israeli democracy significantly, by supporting new laws regarding choice of Supreme Court judges; transparency in NGO funding; & 1-2 other initiatives that would provide a higher degree of structure, transparency, civil representation, common sense, & legitimate national control over areas that were being exploited by anti Israel forces & professional activists. He sunk the laws, thinking he could pander to the Left & gain an electoral advantage. He didn't gain their support, & perpetuated the continued chaos & abuse of Israeli society by malicious actors, including the EU & foreign funded NGO's; 7) This law is long overdue, & could easily be constructively tightened up further to protect Israel from all sides.
