Bill seeking to out foreign-funded NGOs marks new stage of incitement against Israeli left – Haaretz 03.11.15
If this right-wing government continues to mark its ideological ‘enemies,’ it will eventually eradicate Israel’s democracy.                                                                                                                                                                                              Read editorial here

And see:

Justice Ministry to introduce bill demanding foreign funded NGOs wear special tag in Knesset – Haaretz 01.11.15
The bill is only a governmental memorandum at present, a preliminary stage in which the draft is published for the public before it is put to its first vote.

ACRI’s response to the draft NGO funding bill – Association for Civil Rights in Israel 02.11.15
This proposal is yet another attempt to harm Israeli democracy through silencing and intimidation.
