Likud MK seeks to label foreign-funded NGOs as 'plants'
MK Yoav Kisch introduces a bill that aims to curtail nongovernmental organizations funded mostly by foreign governments, as they "represent foreign political interests," use funds to promote anti-Israel propaganda • "We have to put a stop to it," he says.

Likud MK Yoav Kisch on Sunday introduced a legislation proposal seeking to label nongovernmental organizations operating in Israel while receiving the majority of their funding from foreign governments as "plants" or "agents" of the governments funding them.
The bill seeks to impose stricter record keeping and reporting guideline on such NGOs, and bar them from fostering collaborations with government ministries and the military, unless specifically authorized by the Justice Ministry.
The bill's abstract further says the legislation seeks to allow both the "proper authorities and the public with tools to counter the erosion of democracy and the promotion of and internal delegitimization of the State of Israel, funded by foreign political entities."
The proposal suggests any infringement by NGOs on the new guidelines will incur a 100,000 shekel ($26,000) fine, and that should any group be linked "to hostile activities, the Registrar of Associations will be able to petition the court for its dissolution."
Kisch's legislation proposal states, "There are various associations operating in the State of Israel that receive support and funding from foreign political entities, making them 'plants' in the midst of Israeli society. These groupers effectively represent foreign political interests, as he who has the money has the final say.
"There is a clear phenomenon in Israel by which these foreign interests undermine Israel's ability to defend itself and/or jeopardizes its Jewish and democratic character. While these associations promote foreign interests they still qualify for various exemptions, despite the fact the Israeli public is harmed, directly, by their actions," the bill said.
"A democracy has to be able to defend itself," Kisch explained. "It's inconceivable that foreign-funded NGOs use those funds to spread lies and anti-Israel propaganda worldwide.
"We will not allow foreign funding of this nature to attack Israeli soldiers, urge boycotts against Israel, and supporting terrorism or enemy statesunder the guise of a legitimate Israeli association. We have to put a stop to it," he said.
The controversial non-profit bill that got the backing of a ministerial panel on Sunday will remain a subject of heated debate but is expected to pass in some form.
Haaretz Dec 27, 2015 4:33 PM
A bill that would require non-profit organizations that get more than half their funding from foreign governments to disclose that in various contexts passed a major legislative hurdle on Sunday. It received the backing of the Ministerial Committee for Legislation. Approval by the committee means that it now has the backing of the governing coalition, making it likely that it will pass in some form, although it could be subject to changes before final passage.
Sponsored byJustice Minister Ayelet Shaked of the Habayit Hayehudi party, the bill is widely seen as an effort to draw attention to left-wing organizations that get funding from foreign governments. The activities of left-wing organizations have been in the headlines recently in part over funding some of them receive from foreign governments, notably European ones, a situation that critics call an improper effort by the governments to influence the Israeli public agenda. Opponents of the legislation call it an anti-democraticattempt to stigmatize left-wing groups and point out that right-wing Israeli non-profit organizations also get substantial funding from abroad, although that money is not from foreign governments, coming instead from individual donors abroad, notably from Diaspora Jewish donors.
As currently drafted, the bill proposed by Shaked would require representatives of organizations receiving over half their support from foreign governments to wear tags with the name and the group they represent when they attend Knesset sessions,as is currently required of Knesset lobbyists. Violations of the law would be punished by barring the representatives' access to the Knesset. The bill would also require the groups to disclose in their official publicity that they get more than half their funds from foreign governments, along with disclosing the donor governments by name. Violations of this provision would be subject to a 29,000 shekel ($7,450) fine.
"Any country wishing to protect its sovereignty must put limits on intervention by foreign entities,"Shaked said, adding that false information spread by non-profit groups "pretending to represent Israel's interests but which actually are financed by foreign countries that exploit these groups to suit their agenda" constitute a weapon directed against Israel.
But for his part, Zionist Union party leader Isaac Herzogcalled the bill "a serious stain on democracy," while his party colleague Nachman Shai warned that it would provide "ammunition to those calling for Israel's isolation."
At the beginning of the month, four senior lawmakers from Germany warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that advancement of the legislation would make it harder for Israel's allies in Germany to aid it in the face of boycotts or attempts to delegitimize it.
Tzipi Livni, who is co-leader of the Zionist Union along with Herzog, has submitted her own bill that would require disclosure by non-profits that get sizeable foreign government support but also require groups that depend upon individual donors from abroad to disclose it, in practice also imposing legislative regulation on right-wing groups. Justice Minister Shaked's office said including recipients of contributions from individual donors from abroad was considered but was not pursued because of legal hurdles that it presented.
Im Tirtzu vs. Breaking the Silence
The right-wing political group Im Tirtzu recently made headlines for a video it released stigmatizing leaders of left-wing organizations that it said received substantial foreign government funding as foreign "moles."
Breaking the Silence, a group founded by Israel Defense Force veterans to expose misconduct by the Israeli army in the territories, has been a particular focus of public criticism. Representatives of the group have been barred by Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon from sending representatives onto army bases and by Education Minister Naftali Bennett from appearing in the country's public schools. The Breaking the Silence website states that among the financial support that it receives are funds from the governments of Norway, Spain and Switzerland as well as a number of foreign private foundations.
Prior to the vote in the ministerial committee, Michael Oren, who is a former Israeli ambassador to the United States and is now member of the Knesset from the Kulanu party, which is a part of the governing coalition, said he could not vote in favor of the bill as currently drafted.
"As someone who has worked his entire life to advance the State of Israel's foreign affairs, my conscience does not allow me to vote for the non-profits bill as it is drafted today." Oren said. "The non-profits bill that is reaching a vote at the Ministerial Committee for Legislation today is a bill that could harm Israel's foreign relations and image," he added. "I have no doubt that left-wing non-profits such as Breaking the Silence are working to undermine the legitimacy of the State of Israel, and it is our duty as lawmakers to reveal their funding sources to the public. But such one-sided exposure, which ignores the funding sources of extreme-right non-profits, might play exactly into the hands of those elements that are trying to boycott us," Oren said.

COMMENT
The above video clip of Palestinians being beaten by Israeli soldiers is pretty sickening to watch. After the initial viewing, I couldn't view again.
I've seen other things (eg. IDF soldiers beating up an old Palestinian man about to have his house demolished, and an IDF soldier striking an old woman), so it's not like this is an aberration. And the bet is that what I've seen is just a fraction of the brutality.
Also, I tend to avoid looking at what is happening in territories occupied by Israel, because I can't handle the dissonance. The image I have of Israel is of its ancient history, its Temple, its songs and things that are pleasant ... seeing old people getting beaten ruins that.
It's very unpleasant to see this kind of brutality, and it's impossible not to be appalled and sorry for the Palestinians that are being mistreated.
Norway, Spain or Switzerland government funding of Israeli NGOs is far less of a potential 'de-legitimiser' of Israel than what the IDF have been caught doing to civilians in Palestine.
For a country that has so many pro-Israel interest groups abroad lobbying other governments on its behalf, and for a country whose organisations are involved in, basically, a program of indoctrinating Western journalists and politicians by hosting 'educational' visits to Israel (including an Israeli hospital where Israel's been patching up Syrian 'rebels' - ie anti-Syrian government Islamists), it's somewhat hypocritical of Israel to put up barriers to NGOs that receive funding from other government organisations (while shielding Israel's right-wing NGOs from being subject to the similar measures).
But Israel can always be counted on to do the rational thing: ie. to act in its own interests and in pursuit of its own aims.
In an ideal world, this is how one handles foreign interests potentially asserting influence on internal affairs, and this is how one handles fifth column elements within one's state.
But, as mentioned in the article, this will be something the BDS campaigners might wish to exploit, especially considering Israel's strong reliance on representing itself as a democracy.
I highly doubt that the governments of Norway, Spain and Switzerland are actually seeking to undermine or de-legitimise Israel in any way, but the intention isn't relevant if the result is seen as the undermining of Israel's interests and aims.
This is a brilliant move on Israel's part to de-legitimise, diminish and silence leftist internal critics -- particularly critics of Israel's military (and occupation territory settlements, I'm guessing).
While it's not exactly a relief that it was in Switzerland rather than in Germany, it is something of a relief to learn the violence was at least confined to violence between immigrant parties, rather than attack on the host community.
The LiveLeak footage indicated that it was a confrontation between Kurdish and Turkish parties, and that 4 police and a K9 were injured, in addition to the various other parties injured (and possibly killed).

Watch: Migrant Kurds And Turks Battle On The Streets Of Switzerland
by Liam Deacon12 Sep 2015
Kurds and Turks went to war on the street of Europe once again today. A group of Kurdish independence supporters leaving a rally in the Swiss town of Bern were rammed by a car allegedly driven by a supporter of Turkish nationalism. Two are thought to have died, with twenty injured.
The initial rally was organised by the “Union of Turkish Democrats in Europe” against Kurdish “terrorism,” NZZ reports. Around 100 Turkish nationalists gather and were met by a counter demonstration of around 180 supporters of Kurdish independence and the prescribed group the PKK.
Local News provider Watson reports that the town center was sealed off and several bridges closed. Riot police used rubber bullets and peppers spray to separate the rival groups, who were angered by the ongoing conflict between their two ethnic groups in the Middle East.
The fatal attack was on a smaller, breakaway group on the edge of the rally, local media Blick reports. Videos loaded to social media show a black Mercedes accelerating into a group of Kurdish demonstrators, identifiable by their yellow PKK flags. Several people are struck and screaming is heard.
A spokeswoman for Canton Police confirmed to Watson that an “incident” involving a vehicle had occurred on Saturday afternoon. The driver had been detained but disruption in the town was ongoing when the spokeswoman addressed journalists at 18:00 local time.
The violence follows Thursday’s bloody clashes in Frankfurt, Germany between Kurds and Turks, which descended into a riot, and further reports of violent clashes between the two ethnic groups in Hannover today.
WATCH: Migrant Turks And Kurds Battle On Frankfurt Streets, German Army Called In
by Simon Kent 11 Sep 2015
At least five arrests were made in Frankfurt on Thursday night after a march by supporters of Turkish nationalism descended into bloody violence when they clashed with rival Kurd separatists.
Video of the riot has emerged on the same day Germany announced it will place 4,000 soldiers on standby over the weekend to help with a new wave of up to 40,000 refugees arriving in the country.
Police said The Thursday event was billed as a “solidarity march commemorating fallen Turkish soldiers”. According to FR Online to it was organised by the “Federation of Turkish young people” which campaigns on behalf of Turkey. The fracas involved a group of around 380 participant and started at the city’s main railway station at 18.30.
Soon after the Turkish supporters set off there were attacks by immigrant Kurd counter-demonstrators who used sticks, bottles and stones to attack marchers. One taxi driver reportedly had his car damaged in the brawl.
Police confirmed the counter-demonstrators were of Kurdish origin and quickly withdrew.
More than 40,000 people have died since the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) launched its armed campaign in 1984 calling for an independent Kurdish state within Turkey.
Now immigrants from both sides of that battle are carrying their fight onto the streets of Frankfurt.
Meanwhile, Germany will mobilise 4,000 soldiers in the next 48-hours to help with the entry of up to 40,000 refugees in the country, Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen said on Friday.
She told Der Spiegel that she was placing the troops on alert with the expectation they could be asked to do more than just welcome the immigrant arrivals.
“The country can be sure that the Bundeswehr [German army] will be supporting” efforts to care for refugees, Von der Leyen said, adding that the army could do yet more if called upon.
“We are spreading these 4,000 soldiers across the country and they will intervene if the federal states [which are responsible for the initial uptake of refugees] request it,” a Defence Ministry spokesman told The Local.
“They will provide a helping hand, for example to set up a refugee camp, to help with organization, provide buses and drivers, other types of transport, medical services and equipment, anything of that kind.”
Record numbers of people from the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa continue to pour into Europe, with around 7,600 entering Macedonia in the last 12 hours.
Bendigo mosque protest: Anti-mosque and anti-racism protesters clash
Date August 29, 2015
Tom Cowie, Reporter
Police deployed capsicum spray in the heart of Bendigo on Saturday afternoon as violent scuffles broke out between opposing protest groups over plans for a mosque.
About 200 people gathered in the central Victorian city for a protest organised by the United Patriots Front, where they were met with equal numbers from left-wing groups including No Room For Racism and the Socialist Alternative.
A huge police presence, including a mounted unit, locked down large areas of the regional city in anticipation of the groups coming together.
The anti-Islam demonstration was organised as part of a vocal campaign to stop a mosque from being built in Bendigo. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Council recently dismissed an appeal against the project.
Police set up a barricade around Bendigo Town Hall for the anti-mosque protest at 2pm, as the No Room For Racism group gathered outside chanting and playing music.
The groups tried to clash on several occasions, including at the Hargreaves Street Mall, but were met with large police numbers.
At one point, protesters came together when a flag was burned by the anti-racist demonstrators. Police used capsicum spray on the anti-Islam protesters who were trying to get across the police line.
Speaking out against the mosque and Islam were several leaders from the right-wing United Patriots Front, as well as Go Back To Where You Come From star Kim Vuga.
The lead objector against the mosque, Julie Hoskin, spoke in front of the crowd and said the majority of people in Bendigo opposed the mosque.
She accused the council and "complicit media" of trying to convince residents that most people in the city supported the mosque.
"We are local and we are vocal and we don't want a mosque in Bendigo," she said.
Many of the anti-Islam speakers were not from Bendigo but when they asked how many people in the crowd were from the area a large amount put their hand up.
Several protesters on both sides wore masks to hide their identity.
The anti-Islam demonstrators carried Australian flags and protest signs, including one that said "Say no to the Islamisation of Bendigo". Another said the local council was "sacrificing Bendigo to Islam for their own greed".
Controversial Bendigo Councillor Elise Chapman, who has been a vocal opponent of the mosque, was in the crowd wearing an Australian flag.
United Patriots Front leader Blair Cottrell was seen washing his eyes out with water after police deployed the capsicum spray.
In his speech, Mr Cottrell lashed his opponents from the anti-racist protests as "losers, renegades and traitors". The UPF have been engaged in ongoing street battles with left-wing groups, including outside State Parliament last month.
Life-long Bendigo resident Sue McConnachieattended the rally with friends to show support for the mosque, but was disappointed with the level of aggression from both sides.
"It seemed like the emphasis on the local cause was certainly weakened by the people on the front lines," Ms McConnachie said.
The anti-racist group at one point played Khe Sanh by Cold Chisel, a reference to Jimmy Barnes asking right-wing group Reclaim Australia not to play his songs.
The rally broke up at about 4pm. Police remained on high alert after the protest in preparation any subsequent clashes. There were no arrests.
The
wide range of problems in Switzerland, Germany, France, and a number of other Western European countries that result from cross-cultural immigration are staggering.
But non-European refugees and immigrants keep pouring in, thanks to the policies of neocon politicians who are (a) responsible for the chaos abroad that results in displacement and migration (b) responsible for failing to make alternate arrangements for those they have displaced.
Meanwhile, the domestic bleeding hearts and demented ideologues, are all for opening borders to more chaos, as well as irreconcilable cultural and other issues (at best).
I strongly sympathise with those that seek to preserve their amenities, their national heritage, and the integrity and primacy of their own cultures, be it in Europe or in the colonies.
It's impossible to see solutions. All I see is doom.
Loads of interesting information here. The bit about the US 'state within a state' is rather spooky. Might have to cross-reference that one with the other US info.
