Reply #17: Not the same thing, is it? We're talking foreign governments funding supposedly grassroots NGOs...

...that delegitimize their own nation in order to eventually destroy it. I know of no other situation like it. AFAIK, Israel is not clamping down on individuals or organizations contributing to Israeli NGO's. You're confusing them with foreign gov't funding.

I mean, what the hell are EU countries funding Adalah for, if they're for 2 states?

You think Israel should take that lying down? I don't see how the EU can be taken seriously in the peace process anymore. If they're busy trying to delegitimize Israel by funding organizations like Adalah, they have no place in 2 state negotiations, and certainly shouldn't be dictating terms to Israel. They should go screw themselves. Talk about being undemocratic - I can't think of anything more undemocratic than funding groups like Adalah which advocate for one state (like the rest of Israel's mideast neighbors). That's as undemocratic as it gets, right?

Correct me if I'm wrong...
