Knesset votes to probe leftist NGOs
Left-wing NGO’s ralied Wednesday evening against the Knesset’s vote to establish a parliamentary committee of inquiry to probe foreign funding of Israeli organizations. The plenum voted 41 to 16 to establish the probe, initially proposed by MK Faina Kirschenbaum (Israel Beiteinu), to examine international sources of funding for Israeli organizations who “aid the de-legitimization of Israel through harming IDF soldiers.”This is good that they're doing this. We can't permit enemy outfits to continue undermining Israel's security, and that's why these investigations are important.

Israel Beiteinu issued a statement shortly after the vote welcoming the Knesset’s decision. “The committee is meant to examine the activities and funding for those groups who habitually support terror organizations, including open support for Hezbullah during the Second Lebanon War and Hamas during Operation Cast Lead.”
“It is the right and the obligation of the Israeli public to know that the majority of the false testimonies that were written in the Goldstone Report were handed over by these organizations, the same ones who handed over the names of IDF officers and encouraged legal actions against them, and their representatives have even been wandering for years in Israeli schools and tell the youth to evade military service,” continued the statement. “These organizations do not really care about the state of human rights, a fact evidenced by the fact that they have never worked for the rights of women in the Arab society, nor discussed the status of democracy in Saudi Arabia, a state that funds some of these organizations themselves. The entire goal of these organizations is to deter the IDF in its struggle against terror organizations and to weaken the determination of soldiers to defend the citizens of Israel, and the Israeli Knesset has the obligation to fight against this.”
