Israelis oppose foreign funding of Leftist NGO's
A poll has found that an overwhelming majority of Israelis opposes foreign funding of Leftist NGO's. Curiously, the poll comes from an institution that is generally identified with Israel's Left.A new poll has found that a majority of Israelis oppose European government funding of non-governmental “human rights” organizations, such as the leftwing groups Peace Now and Betzelem, in order to increase domestic pressure on the Israeli government. The poll’s findings show that 59% oppose foreign contributions while only 28% support them. The rest did not know.I would guess that the only other propositions on which you could get that strong an Israeli consensus are a united Jerusalem and secure borders. That's quite impressive.
The poll was sponsored by the War and Peace Index of Tel Aviv University.
