You who oppose the transparency bill don't really know why you oppose it.
Everyone looking at you can notice that you have
moved from the stage of opposing the law due to
ideology, to the stage of opposing it for paranoia.
The transparency law will be up for a first vote today.
We are in favor of transparency, I am in favor that every dollar
or shekel that a foreign state transfers to a nonprofit organization
from right or left, will be reported. Basic transparency.
This is not transparency. This is a law that tries,
in an undemocratic way, to mark and to tag bodies
and nonprofit organization that criticizes the state of Israel.
We believe that this law will harm us, it is seen by other states, and
rightfully so, as an undemocratic law. We think it is dangerous and it's
a shame that they are trying to pass it in the Knesset.
We will not accept a situation where Knesset members support
the families of murderers of Israeli civilians and stand to attention
to commemorate those who murdered our children.
There is a limit. There is such a thing as national honor.
I try to imagine what would have happened in the British
parliament if British lawmakers would have stood to attention
to commemorate Jihadi John. Or if American congressman would
have stood to attention to commemorate California murderers?
There is a limit. They would not have accepted this."
(Israeli Arab lawmakers shouting at Netanyahu: "Stop inciting!")
We strongly denounce the wild incitement, de-legitimization
and demonization against the Arab population and its leaders.
