1. 10 million Arabs expelled in Syria. Israel do them the same.
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (02.14.17)
2. The biased Belgian PM!

Time for Israel to stop these provocateurs!
3. Agree with the author, but 100K-270K NIS is chickenfeed
T ,   Melbourne   (02.15.17)
Even when considering the top end of these sums, 270K NIS annually could perhaps sponsor four part-time workers. 100K would barely support two. And this is without taking into account office space rental, copiers, computers, paper, transportation and other expenses which could easily reach hundreds of thousands NIS annually. Compare that to the sums given out by corporate lobbyists and it's really chickenfeed.
Still illegal though.
4. Scorpions will be scorpions and so shall be the Europeans...

5. European Meddling?
Stuart ,   Michigan, USA   (02.15.17)
"European funding for radical NGOs targeting Israel has no parallel in the democratic world."

Oh really? On the contrary, parallels abound.

I'd have to say both the Clinton camp and the Trump Administration might take issue with the statement, given the meddling of foreign interests in last year's U.S. presidential election.

And it's not only European funding. What about the Obama administration funding activities opposing Netanyahu's re-election?

Bottom line, Israel, as a sovereign nation must do WHATEVER it must in order to stop, discredit, punish, or sanction foreign efforts to undermine its sovereignty. And the same goes for any other democratic nation seeking to preserve its sovereignty.
