The New Israel Fund for Deepening the Jewish-Arab Rift

"...Are you going to claim that Jews are second class citizen n the USA? In Canada? Europe???" If people like you or your likewise talkbackers that crowd the pages of Haaretz would ever reach the power, we Jews would surely and immediately become 2nd class citizens. Here's the reason for we need a strong State of Israel.

Just wondering.... this piece is a smear campaign on NIF, I'm not sure why Ha'aretz is engaging in this or passing it as "news". Some of us would like to think that NIF is the *ultimate* expression of support for Israel.

Are you going to claim that Jews are second class citizen n the USA? In Canada? Europe??? If that were to be the case you should quickly go to Israel.

Isreal just doesn't get it stop the occupation or give the pals equal rights

"...Here is a list of Muslim majority countries that are democratic Indonesia, pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Iran, Algeria, Afganistan, Iraq, malaysia, Uzbekistan, kazakhistaan, Yemen(believe it or not), Niger, Tunisia, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Sierra Leone, Turkmenistan, Chad, Lebanon, Albania, Kosovo, The Gambia, Maldives etc...There are many more to list here!!" I've never read something more hylarious than your post. I Still can't stop laughing! Thank you!

If we reach an agreement with the palestinians the arabs in Israel will be motivated by it and feel we can do this and start fighting for a binational state and they will start their own international campaign to delegitimize Israel for being a jewish state. The arabs will never accept any long term solution that involves Israel remaining a jewish state. Its a concept thats never been accepted just forced onto them and its something they are never going to stop trying to undermine in favour of another arab majority one. As for resolution 194 it has no legal authority, its a General Assembly resolution and they are not much more than glorified proposals for the country to choose to adopt or reject and in this case Israel legally chose to rejected it. We need more alliyah and any palestinian state that may be created in future must involve a significant population transfer .. settlers for Israeli arabs.

please list all the Arab democracies? Forget Lebanon,seats are set aside.

How many times has Hamas the govt of Palestine said,yet again a few weeks ago,they will never recognise Israel.

The New Israel fund is one of my favorite charities, well run and involved in good causes. It's pretty hard these days trying to find a "clean" Israeli charity to contribute to which is not in some way advancing the evil of the settlement enterprise. Guess it's time for another donation. Thanks for the good cheer!

All, European countries with 'Law of Return' for their dominant ethnic groups: Germany Russia Denmark Ukraine Hungary Georgia Armenia There are more. France, I believe is the only country that gives citizenship automatically to anyone born on their territory. The rest have a class of helots, born on their territory but without right of citizenship. The British grant citizenship to anyone that held a British passport during the British Empire, thus the great number of Ugandan born Indians, Carribean people and others. There was some contraversy when the British wouldn't offer that privelege to the Chinese in Hong Kong. Only the ethnic British were given asylum when China took it over. As for Labhras' Ireland, here is the 1st sentence of the Irish Constitution," In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions both of men and States must be referred" No theocrasy there.

Labhras, I found the Preamble to the Irish constitution in Wikipedia "In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions both of men and States must be referred, We, the people of Éire, Humbly acknowledging all our obligations to our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ, Who sustained our fathers through centuries of trial, Gratefully remembering their heroic and unremitting struggle to regain the rightful independence of our Nation, And seeking to promote the common good, with due observance of Prudence, Justice and Charity, so that the dignity and freedom of the individual may be assured, true social order attained, the unity of our country restored, and concord established with other nations, Do hereby adopt, enact, and give to ourselves this Constitution." Now, after references to the Holy Trinity and our Divine Lord in the Preamble, will you finally shut up about Israel being a theocracy. Your garbage is getting old.

How many kind of Jews are there? How many different kind of Arabs are there? So we are now funding a rift. Really keep trying to hate. IS it easier to sin than to not. IS it easier to HATE than not. Isnt it funny. You want so desperately to widen the difference but he we are in espinoge central. Let see today they held my twin who is royal of Israel wife hostage and their kids trying to get him to do what they wanted. They keep death threatening us both and how they are mad because I am college educated.They want to kill our kids because we are royals and move their line up and we do all this work and negotiations for our nation for no money.Neither one of us. Brances babies are fine in Mother Russia and we are fine I think in United States.You deal with Barak and Livni and Netanyahu.We ordered all this trade exchanges and Livni wants her screw of power and commission.Then we make peace with Iran and again next day nuclear Iran in paper.We have people on this planet starving.Karoon

If anything, what Mr. Harel writes shows that the NIF is, if anything, placating the Arab street. All the things you say are true. Take recognizing the Right of Return as one example: it does not necessarily mean opening the floodgates, it could very well mean opening the purse-strings. When you unintentionally deprive civilians of their property and turn them into homeless will-o-the-whisps for well over half a century, that's the least you can do. And if in some cases it's intentional, kal vahomer.... Adalah and organizations like that act as a conduit to justice for Israel's Arab citizens. It is denying them that kind of recourse that would inflame the Arab street.

I agree that Jews in the US do not ask for more rights here in the US than any other group, and that is the way it should be. What I find questionable is the fact that Jews who are punctilious about their rights being upheld and condemn any effort to treat them less well than any other group in the US enthusiastically support a country in which Jews get preferential treatment to gentiles. What is hateful to you, do not do to others. If discrimination against you is hateful, why is discrimination for you any better?

"Thus in funding organizations that work to deepen the rift between Jews and Arabs in Israel" You can write it down but it is hard to imagine how that can be done. Are there "arabs" (you probably mean palestinians) who actually agree with the current situation? The organizations make the rift visible for those that have eyes to see and a heart to feel. It is already wide.

Under the first amendment to the Constitution all religions are to be treated equally. Jews do not ask for any more rights tan Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, atheists are guaranteed to all by the US Constitution.

"Turkey is Muslim (sadly, I can`t think of another example of a Muslim democratic country...)" Here is a list of Muslim majority countries that are democratic Indonesia, pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Iran, Algeria, Afganistan, Iraq, malaysia, Uzbekistan, kazakhistaan, Yemen(believe it or not), Niger, Tunisia, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Sierra Leone, Turkmenistan, Chad, Lebanon, Albania, Kosovo, The Gambia, Maldives etc...There are many more to list here!!

Just go and read the Likud charter. Likud wants an greater israel west of Jordan. Also, just because you feel that way doesnt mean that the minorilies in 1) Lebanon, 2) Egypt, 3) Irak, 4) Syria, 5) Malaysia are treated badly. They are thriving there. Or at least have a right to vote unlike your beloved Israel! So, instead of lecturing anyone here get some information.

May I assume you are willing to have the US change its laws so that Jews in the US have the same rights and treatment as gentiles do in Israel? If not, why not?

Please cite the portion of the UN Charter which specifically states Israel is to be a Jewish homeland.

I have an idea. Why don't you volunteer your own state as an experiment in which it will be controlled by Muslims, which have such a strong tradition of keeping human rights all over the world. Oh, I forgot. You are already in that way. Good luck. It is not about human rights. The Palestinians eventually will have their own state. It's not enough for them, They want ours as well.

The vulgar racist view that Jews are not entitled to the same national rights as Irish, Danish and Greek is reflected in the (well after 19th century!) Nazi-era experience that Jews of Poland, Germany, Russia and Greece (and a dozen other countries) were butchered because they were Jews, not because they were French, Poles, Greeks, etc. The French, Greeks and Poles etc. didn't lift a finger to defend their Jewish countrymen. We are not going back to that situation, and no, the world is not any different now than it was in the 19th century - with one important exception: today, "The Jews" have a state, only one in the world where we have the same rights as "the majority", and with strong army and decisive weapons to defend ourselves against those who wage jihad, pogroms or Final Solutions. Jews are still murdered, but now we wipe out 100 of the killers for each Jew. We don't give a crap whether you like it or not, "Micheal", or how your Brit Supreme Court arrogantly redefines "Jews".

First of all, whom do you mean by "you"? I have said nothing in favor of religious discrimination, only tried to explain to you that the General Zionist movement which gave rise to Israel was secular. The Zionist Yishuv was something "entirely new [in the area], largely secular," as the Palestinian historian Rashid Khalidi writes, and this is no big secret, except perhaps to you and a few other uninformed and chronically biased posters.

With this expose on the NIF you have shown what a good and worthwhile organization this is. Your claim that this "deepens the rift" between Jews and Arabs is 180 degrees wrong. When both Jews and Arabs will be treated as equals the conflict will end.

By appropriating a Herzl quote (Im tirtzu ein zo aggada) Im Tirtzu is desecrating his name. This group is the antithesis of Herzl's views. He would be turning in his grave ! David

The Jews are a nation of with most adhere to a distinct religion, which is Judaism. However, there are tens of thousands of Jews who do not practice religion or practic other faiths. Regardless of their religious affiliations, these individual remain Jews and are part of a people native to the Land of Israel. "By contrast, Jewishness is still stuck in an era of race, blood and religion. So an Israeli Arab, even though he is an Israeli citizen is not Jewish and can therefore never be a full part of the Zionist Jewish state. That`s the problem." Jews in Israel are defined by their citizneship, which is Israeli. Arabs in Israel are defined by their citenship, which is Israeli. Using your logic, Native Americans will never be a full part of the American dream simply because they come from a different background. This logic is flawed. You clearly have a misunderstanding of what Zionism means and of what Israel represents.

The name of this organization was chosen to deceive people. They are claiming they are protecting human rights. Which humans? Not Jews in Israel, for sure. The most basic human right, the right which stands above all other rights - the right to be alive they don't protect. They maybe are protecting some insignificant rights of just one of many minorities in Israel in expense of everybody else - that is might true. They maybe are protecting rights of terrorists to have a fair trial in expense of vast majority of people to live in peace and security - that is also might be true. What they don't realize that not only terrorists and murderes are humans but their victims also humans too.

Do you seriosly believe there still are descendants of peoples called Canaanites or Moabs in existence today? The reason G-D gave these people into the Israelilites hands was that they did things, which were appalling before G-D*s eyes like sacrificing their children to their idol. I do not follow your logic that the 7th century invadors should be tolerated! On what grounds? That they made Jews slaves, meanwhile the Christians butchered Jews??? Are you seriously suggesting that Jews only have these two evils to choose from in their own country too?! Well, I don*t think so. ALSO: in your opinion it is not justified to call European countries "nationstates", yet, do tell us what all those Muslim states that do not tolerate other ethnicities on their soil are? Aren*t they "nationstates"? Any complaints about them, have you?

Jewishness (or perhaps the intent here is to refer to Judaism) is not stuck anywhere since it is a rich in content and history and is an evolving civilization, adjusting itself to the time and place where Jews live. Zionism, an outcome of Jewish civilization, is the non-violent (not pacifist, mind you) national liberation movement of the Jewish people that, among other things, set out to re-establish Jewish sovereignty in the Hebrew/Israeli/Jewish people's historic homeland. This drive to exercise of the universally accepted right of all peoples, including that of the Jewish people, to national self-determination and independence continues to be a major factor in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, as well as most countries of the world. All nation-states have minorities; in Israel we have Arabs who are equal before the law as any other citizen. This is the case in all democratic nation-states. Thus, Israel is a democratic nation-state of a people and its Jewish civilization.

"Israel as a Jewish state is the nation-state of the Jewish people, as Greece is the nation-state of the Greek people; Denmark is the nation-state of the Danish people or Ireland is the nation-state of the Irish people." This is the basic fallacy of modern Zionism. In the 19th century when Zionism was founded, if you'd said what you'd just said there, most people would have agreed with you, because Irishness, Danishness or Greekness were defined like Jewishness, largely by race and blood. Today, Irishness, Danishness and Greekness are defined by cirizenship. You can have been born anywhere in the world, of any race, religion or colour, but if you have the right citizenship, then you are a member of the Irish, Danish or Greek people. By contrast, Jewishness is still stuck in an era of race, blood and religion. So an Israeli Arab, even though he is an Israeli citizen is not Jewish and can therefore never be a full part of the Zionist Jewish state. That's the problem.

They're willing to accept a state on 22% of the land under dispute but Lisa the piece of land lover says they are not willing to compromise. Yes, and war is peace, Lisa, just ask George Orwell.

the hardcore settlers and their Pal extremist colleagues get an A+ for making resolution of this conflict impossible. Nothing NIF does can begin to compare with that. The Pals don't need the NIF to feel that they've been ripped off.

What ever the reason supporting an enemy that wants to destroy your country and murder your neighbors is not common sense. While 1400 years of Muslim expansion and repression are factual some believe if Israel does this or that; things will be different, "this time." The fact of the matter is that Jews should know better than anyone, supporting those who want to murder Jews, results in murdered Jews.

Is another democratic Muslim country.

Under international law the UN General Assembly does not make any laws period. That is in the UN Charter. The UN may not interfere in the internal affairs of any nations which immigration is one of those. That is in the UN Charter. UNGA 194 is violates the San Remo Treaty, Covenant League of Nations and the UN Charter all of which state that we are to be a Jewish homeland. NIF is a front organization for the Ford Foundation. Which funds hundreds of anti-Semitic groups.

Jewish people - a people named after a region of Eretz Israel (Land of Israel) named Judea - and in that sense it is as Greece is the nation-state of the Greek people; Denmark is the nation-state of the Danish people or Ireland is the nation-state of the Irish people. Judaism, unlike Christianity, is a civilization, one of nearly 4,000 years, that contains within it a creed as well as other elements. But it is not, as some think, a faith only. And since there is no contradiction between a state being a nation-state and a democratic state Israel has no contradiction either. Indeed, I strongly suggest for those seriously interested in the matter to Google for and read Israel's Proclamation of Independence, 14 May 1948, which will give them a sense of the vision of Israel's founders: men and women, rich and poor, Saphardim and Ashkenazim, people of the left, right and center.

I can't believe you called the Crusaders 'liberators' of the Holy Land! You do know they slaughtered all the Jews who'd been living with the Muslims peacefully in Jerusalem? Seriously Liza you're sounding ludicrous. If you call people who've been living in Palestine since the 7th century invaders you just come across as heavily discriminatory. If you're going to the ludicrous lengths of trying to make moral judgements about the 7th century AD, why not call the Jews invaders as well and bring up all the slaughtering of Canaanites and Moabites they indulged in?

Perhaps the problem is that we have not done enough research, but it is much more likely that the problem is that you can't bring yourself to admit an unpleasant truth - that you insist on religious discrimination in your favor while decrying religious discrimination.

Perhaps what you characterize as my lack of knowledge of zionism is a cop-out for having to admit the fact that religious discrimination is wrong, and you are engaging in it. The American Jewish community has been quite clear that making the US a Christian nation would make them second-class citizens. If it's wrong when it is done TO you, it's wrong when done BY you. As to the nonsense about Judaism being a nation and not a religion, I refer you to Brother Daniel. Somehow he left the nation when he changed religion. Please explain.

of Palestine in 614 AD by the Persian Muslim conqueror, Khosrev II. He tried to empty Palestine from her Jews by bringing them to Persia to slavery. As we all of course know, the Romans changed the name of Israel for Palestine and the name of Jerusalem for Aelia Capitol, in 135 AD. Long before there was Islam! Between 614-1099, before the Christian Crusaders from Europe arrived to liberate Israel from the hands of the occupying Muslims, islamization of Israel was taking place. If we wanted TRUE Justice, then Justice should be done to Israel and Jews torn in betw. the Muslim and Christian invasions and occupations till 1948 and still, instead of backing up the "rights of the invadors". I ask: do invadors have rights and what are they?

I very strongly suspect you would not approve of the US being designated as a Christian nation on the basis that it would make you a second-class citizen. I agree that it would be discriminatory against not -Christians. What I don't understand is why zionists claim that the US being a Christian nation is discriminatory, but Israel being a Jewish nation isn't. Please explain why discrimination AGAINST Jews is wrong ,but discrimination BY Jews isn't.

Those who attempt to shut Eitan's mouth by telling him that he doesn't live in Israel have no understanding the reality of this region. As a Druze not am I living with my extended family for some generations in the Golan, in Majdal Shams, but I and my family members and the majority of the Druze that I know don't feel they are Syrians or want to live in Syria. The Golan is Israel, period, and this reality is not going to change by an idiot posting from Ireland.

For the last 30 years, educated Palestinians around the world, have invested time and money in PR to not only dis-credit Israel, but to de-legitimize the state of Israel. These movements are active in campuses in London and in Ca.USA. But the source of their strenght is no less than the Univesity of Tel Aviv. If you look in their operation they follow the TAU schedule of events and they are dedicated to the PA charter,with a spin and a twist. The means is propaganda with character assasination and demonizing Israeli figures, the end is the same to eliminate the Jews (only do it diplomaticaly) They are most active in UN bodies, where they have full support by the group of non-aligned headed by no less; Iran

syria and israel are created by the san remo convention 1920 and the consequesnt mandates. read them and you will find the golan is not in syria !

...it's so hard to have a 'Jewish democracy'. An 'ethnocracy' would be a more apt term to describe our civil-political system here.

Yes-Jewish and democratic. All Israel's citizens are represented in Parliament, Jews, Arabs, Christians and Druze. Britain is Christian as most European states are defined. Turkey is Muslim (sadly, I can't think of another example of a Muslim democratic country...). They are not accused of being apartheid states.

My view of Zionism is based on research and knowledge, and that is why I cite reputable scholarly sources in my posts. General Zionism is a secular movement for statehood and the fact that the word Jewish is used confuses you and leads you to false analogies because you have not done sufficient research, to put it mildly, to understand the context of its use.

here it is. " Self-Rule The Government of Israel flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan river. The Palestinians can run their lives freely in the framework of self-rule, but not as an independent and sovereign state. Thus, for example, in matters of foreign affairs, security, immigration and ecology, their activity shall be limited in accordance with imperatives of Israel's existence, security and national needs." Now on Syria. "Based on the Likud-led government's proposal, the 10th Knesset passed the law to extend Israeli law, jurisdiction and administration over the Golan Heights, thus establishing Israeli sovereignty over the area. The government will continue to strengthen Jewish settlement on the Golan. " Ans you say israel wants peace---huh.

Peace Now, Meretz, Machsom watch, shovrim shtika, Rabbis/Physicians for HR have supported Fatah, Hamas, Arafat and other Arab extremists. These are confused people that go out of their way to support terrorists. They are despicable and they are the #1 cause that peace in the middle east is so difficult to achieve. These pro terror activists have sent a solid message to Islamo-fascists that their struggle is just and that they can use violence and killings because their cause is justified. They have also convinced the Arabs that they shouldn't compromise. They blame the conflict on occupation and they ignore the real cause of the conflict which is Muslim intolerance and hate that is propagated by the PA and the Hamas! They Israeli left along with European left cheer on Israel's biggest enemies making peace so difficult. Only the Likud and Israel's centrists can advance peace. The Arabs must realize that they are at fault for saying no in 47, 67, and 2000 and peace will only happen if the Arabs make serious gestures showing they want peace. Wanting peace means being willing to pay a price which is accepting that Israel will never and can never go back to 67 borders!

Zionism is secular movement (not religious). Which part of that statement don't you understand? There are 1.5 million Arab citizens of Israel with exactly the same rights as Jewish citizens. You want racism? Look at Saudi Arabia.

There's an irony here. Harel sees the enemy everywhere, but the only suggestion he has for dealing with them is to have no relations with them. Let's hear from sensible Right wing spokesmen like him some kind of solution which does not involve simply denying that there will be sensible citizens who do not accept that their identity must be predicated on accepting features of Israeli life which they see as harmful to them. They might find a more accommodating approach might facilitate better relations with Israelis who currently only hear that they are dismissed because they are 'anti-Zionists'.

"Poor Paul, you live in NYC, there is no difference between a US citizen of Irish or Italian origin."george Is he not lucky living in a society where his religion is not the basis of getting citizenship or getting better treatment than others. As to Lebanon---did you not know that only a christian can be the president in that "Democracy". BTW---what exactly an "Arab Moslem". Your statement displays openly your racist mindset.

very simple---if Ireland was a nation for Catholics and catholics only that would be racist. It is not--it is a nation for "Irish people and has managed to slide out of it,s zionist mmentality. The protestant charter in Northern Ireland referred to to it(NI) as "A protestant State for a protestant People". It diidn,t work because it was racist in it,s very nature. Zionism will not work---nor should it and you can try all the verbal gmynastics you want---it is racism .

is not in Israel --it is occupied territort as in "Occupied Syrian Heights". Yo are amn illegal settler/squatter. Your opinion as a thief is flawed.

Zionism is a typical, perhaps prototypical, secular, national movement for statehood (Gelvin, Israel Palestine Conflict, Cambridge University Press, 2005, p. X). The general Zionism that gave rise to Israel was like other such movements avowedly secular (Brenner, Zionism, 2003, p. 12, 118). The fact that you are confused by the use of the word Jewish, which in the context of general Zionism means a people seeking/achieving statehood, rather than a religion or religious affiliation, reflects only your lack of knowledge about Zionism, which you insist on repeatedly displaying.

weaken Israel's identity & spell the end of the Jewish state.

Poor Paul, you live in NYC, there is no difference between a US citizen of Irish or Italian origin. In the Middle East it is different. Do not be stupid and read the PA chart, they want an arab moslem country. And if you still believe in cohabitation get a look to the Christians minorities in : 1) Lebanon, 2) Egypt, 3) Irak, 4) Syria, 5) Malaysia, . All are flewing from there while they were the inhabitant before Islam was even founded. Moron, wake up and stop thinking silly.

human rights organisations should avoid politicising their missions and methods or else they lose all respect and ultimately their influence. the nif, as it is now being reported, is an umbrella organisation almost exclusively funded by americans many of whom are not aware of the ultimate destination of their donnation. such lack of transparency is unacceptable for any human rights organisations.

The right wing zionists aggressively go after anyone or anything that is visible to the public eye that openly criticizes the practices of the israeli government. The idea to fulfill this dream of a greater Israel is never to be realized. Please give up these futile efforts to vilifiy innocent people that are just speaking their minds. In the end you will not get what you want anyway.

why is that a bad thing? is a country where individuals are equal regardless of their race or religion, that is not defined as belonging to just one people, really such a terrifying idea to the israeli right? and why?

Without the diversity of opinion that Harel condemns, Zionism is doomed. Paradoxically trhe McCarthyites if they get their way,are signing Israel's death warrant. I too must increase my donations to the NIF and encourage other lovers of freedom to do likwewise.

This is the point about democracy in Israel it applies only to the master race. Short & simple.

Kalil is another Palestinian propagandist trying to pretend that the issue is "settlements". It's not. Fatah does not want peace with Israel. Go to their website and read for yourself: http://www.e-fateh.org/paper_full_3.aspx Article (22) - resist all political solutions offered as an alternative to the liquidation of the Zionist entity in occupied Palestine... Fatah does not want peace, and all of Israel is their target. The New Israel Fund are simply collaborators helping Israel's enemies who submit grant requests with the words "human rights" or "democracy" in the title, and NIF forks over the blood money.

I bet Ahmedinejad could write something almost identical about how foreign money is propping up so-called human rights groups that instead use that money to undermine the country.

Presumably Harel objects to terrorism. Yet he also seems hugely to object to people pursuing by peaceful democratic means their goal of a multi-ethnic society that redresses some of the wrongs of the past and prevents some of the wrongs of the future. Western multi-cultural democracy and Zionism are not totally mutually exclusive, but they do contradict each other in many ways. At some stage Harel is going to have to decide which side he's on.

Thx, ill be sending them my money!

Contrary to what Mr Harel says, I know exactly where my donations to the NIF have gone. Now that I know he objects so strongly, I will be increasing the amount and frequency of my donations. By the way, "I have a list" is a phrase redolent with historical overtones -- as I'm sure the educated Haaretz readership is aware.

...activities and organizations whose entire work revolves around the goal of demonize Israel and de-legitimize its very existence. I ask: Do you, American Jewish liberals, wish to contribute your money toward such activities...??

However, the author may be correct in noting that many high-roller "major donors" in the Jewish community (some living off inherited money, with more cash than brains) do not know NIF's #1 objective is eliminating Israel as a Jewish State, homeland for the Jewish people. That its "New Israel" Fund (i.e., not Jewish), not "New" Israel Fund. HAARETZ does a useful service in blowing the whistle, exposing NIF for what it really is. Maybe Britain, Norway, Saudia Arabia, Spain, the EU (supporters (?) of the "2-state solution"), and other state donors to NIF aren't aware they are bankrolling the elimination of the Jewish State - although I doubt it. Israel should make clear that it will not tolerate this racist and subversive conduct, will reject "Quartet" involvement in the "peace process" unless they stop. And Jewish "philanthropists" who continue bankrolling NIF after the HAARETZ expose' should be booted off Jewish communal boards everywhere, told to take their money and shove it!!

European Governmental Funding for NGOs involved in lawfare and anti-Israel campaigning if you were an NGO that was receiving as much money from European countries , how far would you go to satisfy your masters and keep receiving funds? Remember how far Human Rights Watch went to get funds from Saudi Arabia? Here is the NGO Monitor Report, which you can also download as a Word http://daledamos.blogspot.com/2010/02/no-wonder-europe-is-in-such-bad.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FdafW+%28Daled+Amos%29

that many people want to get rid of human rights organizations like the NIF and the Association for Civil Rights in Israel is that they constantly point out inconvenient truths about the underside of Israel, about abuses in the workplace, about the gap between rich and poor, about the price of religious coercion. It?s not just the territories, it?s right under our noses. Real Zionism is making this country a decent place to live in. Campaigning against minefields and for free dental treatment for children ? as the Association for Civil Rights in Israel is currently doing.

Tolerance has to have limits, it is like tolerating a Cancerous growth in your body, just because is part of your own body, Jews that attack Israel as Jewish State, are enemies of Israel, they help those ever present outside enemies of Jews and Israel that want to destroy Israel and eliminate the Jews, they are even worst that outside enemies, they legitimize all those slanderous claims against Jews and Israel, they are those "good" Jews that cant stand what the rest of us, the "bad" Jews atand for

I find myself amused by your reference to Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. That is an oxymoron; Israel is a democratic state in the same way apartheid South Africa was; it is democratic if you are a member of the master race.
