The New Israel Fund launched a Hebrew campaign in Israel — Lo Nistom ha Peh! (“We will not shut up!”) — attacking the right wing for trying to cut funding and outlaw civil society work. And with predictable antagonism, Im Tirtzu set up a spoof site repeating the same accusations that got them in trouble in the first place. We needn’t revisit those tired arguments now, but I found the Facebook widget participation telling:
Im Tirtzu fans: Zero
New Israel Fund fans: nearly a thousand
Zing!
