"However, they are probably entirely unaware that NIF directs a significant portion of its money toward organizations with agendas that undermine the very foundations of the Jewish state." "The problem here is not one of legitimacy. Unquestionably, in any healthy democracy, the right to hold unpalatable views and opinions must be upheld. Consequently, organizations such as Mada al-Carmel, Adalah and Sikkuy are legal Israeli nonprofits. Yet legality itself does not justify support.
