Shaked’s Transparency Bill

The Transparency Bill,  requires representatives of NGOs funded mostly by foreign governments to make that fact public in advertisements, reports and Knesset activity.

Justice Minister Shaked is proposing a number of requirements, as follows:

  • NGOs whose main funding stems from foreign sources must publicize that fact in advertisements and public reports;
  • every request the NGO makes of a public official must be made in writing, and foreign funding must be noted in that written request or address;
  • all written disclaimers regarding foreign funding must name the countries and/organizations in question contributing to said NGO;
  • lobbyists – or representatives of NGOs operating the Knesset and elsewhere – will be required to wear ID tags at all times naming which organizations they represent; and
  • the fine for breaching any one of these requirements will be 29,200 shekels($7555).

  1. The only thing that is transparent in the state is that, without fail, MAPAI=MAPAM operatives have found it of their preference to get along with Germany, Ben Gurion & Adenauer, with the Wakft, Dayan and his close associates,
    with Arafat, Rabin, Peres and a list of other tzeleigerim, with the Vatican, Peres, with various EU governments and US based elements, the Meretz former main item at the NIF and many other “NGO’s”, ALL of them feverishly working against the Jewish State and Jews.
    Those are plain and simple mortal enemies, not brothers or sisters of the Jews.

  2. Well, Soros can afford to pay 29,200 ILS.
    that’s not sufficient.
    The punishment should be the banning of the NGO

  3. I would like to see anti-Israel Israeli NGOs banned but in the meantime, they should be forced to register as foreign agents.

    The US and Russia have similar laws about foreign political interference in their domestic affairs.

    The current NGO law is wholly inadequate to the present situation.
