61. transparency is a cornerstone...
the fact that there is corruption in the israeli govt, areas of non transparency doesn't excuse them....

Clearly this is a political issue, and i actually was surprised to hear that NGO's and others have the right to secret funding, i had always assumed they had to report as they do in the US. The reason the law didnt pass was simply because the "right" and the religious saw what it would do to their own pet NGO's......

which is precisely why i am for it, democracy has a nice aspect where it attempts to apply its laws equally.
--------------------
you really shouldnt try to imply what i believe and dont...you should ask first.

i have no problem with Breaking the Silence, Combatants for Peace,, etc. i happen to like their goals and methods ..Ah but i admit to a certain problem with the checkpost ladies......
(the israeli left is far more nuance than your general western left, were not so simplistic as back every group just because they claim the title "peace"etc
