Why foreign funding of Israeli NGO's is different
For those of you trying to get a handle on foreign funding for Israeli NGO's and why it ought to concern all Israelis, I recommend reading Shmuel Rosner's interview with Professor Gerald Steinberg of NGO Monitor here.No excerpts this time. Just read the whole thing.

Few Israelis know the most prominent leftist NGOs in the country are the recipients of funding from foreign governments. This raises the critical questions of whose interests they really serve: Israel's or that of the governments providing them with the means to influence Israeli public opinion and government policy? Ideally, such funding should be banned outright but if not the principle of transparency and outright disclosure should be applied. The Israeli public deserves to know from where financial support of Israeli NGOs is coming.
