Tony Kushner wins $100,000 for being an anti-Israel activist.
But at least the Washington Post thinks Israel is terrible for trying to cut off foreign governmental funding to anti-Israel Israeli-registered NGOs.

At least we know whose interests Netanyahu is serving.
As our Rabbis said, this is the world of sheker (lies).
Sometimes it is just more obvious then others...
Birds of a feather ...
What is your position on the issue?
I think what all of this shows...and proves is that Israel and The Jewish Community have for a long time been quite diverse and have funded significant infrastructure for it's democratic institutions, such as freedom of speech, to a fault. Can you imagine individuals and institutions such as "literary genius",tony baloney or "peace now" existing with government approved funding in any Middle East country other than Israel? Well it has gone much much too far to the point of which these organizations are virtual 'safe houses' for Israel's enemies.
There are no limits for these Anti-Israel activists with their quisling Jewish participants, whether from Neturei Karta or Kadima. If after Oslo fell on it's face, these organizations called for a re-assessment of their 'let us give away the store in exchange for terrorism' mentality, that would be one thing. However, their willingness to enable Jewish blood being spilled never abates. Their leaders really must think Israelis are stupid. For example, please correct me if i am out of line at all, Oslo was enabled largely due to Israel's peace treaty with Egypt and it's expectation for a peace treaty with Jordan. Now with Egyptians virtually voting to abrogate it's peace treaty with Israel after the west armed them to the teeth, even forgeting for a moment Arafat and Hamas, how can anyone who is even the most remotely in favor of Israel surviving, even barely getting by, could at this time advocate one sided Israeli concessions to a commited terrorist army waiting to morph into a state designed to replace Israel. Obviously these people and institutions are phoney. They use psychology to tap into vulnerabilities in The Jewish personality and culture. As I brought up before, one leftist psychologist named Michael Lerner,phd, was clever enough to realize that having a doctorate in psychology was not a sufficient title for accomplishing the redirection of American Jewish Community donations away from Israel and to front organizations for Israel's enemies. He was a regular guest at The Clinton's White House, I think he even advised Hillary. Wondering what he is doing right now, 11/2011, I have no idea what I will find as i avoid anything emanating from this person, however he can always be relied upon to as Ronald Reagan quipped with a grin, "there you go again":
"...Yet Judaism has another strand, what I and others call “Renewal Judaism,” which started with the Prophets and has reasserted itself in every major age of Jewish life, insisting that the God of Torah is really the Force of Healing and Transformation, and that our task is not to sanctify existing power relations but to challenge them in the name of a vision of a world of peace and justice. Perhaps the greatest danger that Israel poses to the Jewish people is the extent to which it has helped Jews become cynical about their central task: to proclaim to the world the possibility of possibility, to affirm the God of the universe as the Force that makes possible the breaking of the tendency of people to do to others the violence and cruelty that was done to them, the Force that makes possible the transcendence of “reality” as it is so that a new world can be shaped. If Israel is ever to be healed, it will only be when it is able to reject this slavish subordination to political realism and once again embrace the transformative spiritual message of renewal.
Rabbi Michael Lerner is editor of Tikkun, national chair of the Network of Spiritual Progressives, and author of eleven books including the forthcoming (at the end of November) Embracing Israel/Palestine (published by North Atlantic Books and distributed by Random House). He is the rabbi of Beyt Tikkun Synagogue in Berkeley, California. Email: rabbilerner@tikkun.org."
I rest my case.
We have much to worry about when Left is considered right and Right is considered wrong.
