70. I dont know...
Edited on Mon Mar-14-11 03:51 AM by pelsar
It simply doesn't make any difference who funds the NGO'

and you (nor does my govt) have no right to tell me, a citizen, what is and what is not important to me....thats for me to decide and for me to decide who i believe is lying and or distorting -i do not accept someone telling me what I should believe because "they say so."

this is just one example of israelis imperfect democracy and how some people defend it, i as a citizen do not like it, when the govt hides information from me.

I skipped your question:
And are you ever going to apologize for falsely implying that I'm anti-democratic just because I disagree with you on this one thing?
the answer is no, i do not believe someone can believe in the principles of democracy and also believe that public action groups have the right to hide information from me as a citizen about what they are doing and who is supporting them.

I accept your position, and understand that you fully believe that your position is essential for the Palestinians and is completely compatible with democracy. (just as i accept that very same argument from others that replace Palestinian with israeil), but i shall never agree nor understand it.
