Israel is trying to be more like Russia or China, which I think is wrong. A healthy democracy needs NGOs like Amnesty International, Oxfam and Human Rights Watch.

This NGO bill is some really scary shit that doesn't belong in a democracy. Actually, people like Ayelet Shaked shouldn't be able to become a Minister in a democratic country.
