Israel: Video Shows Jewish Extremists Celebrating Death of Palestinian Toddler
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israeli government ministers have backed a bill to crack down on human
rights groups by requiring them to disclose details about funding they
receive from foreign governments. Critics say the bill unfairly targets
groups critical of the Israeli military, like Breaking the Silence,
which receives more than half its funding from European governments,
while shielding right-wing groups that rely on private donors, who are
exempt. European officials have reportedly slammed the proposal, calling
it "reminiscent of totalitarian regimes."
