Is this Israel's newest idea of democracy in action?

Israeli lawmakers have voted to establish a formal inquiry into the foreign funding of human rights groups and left-wing organizations. Critics denounced the move as a political witch hunt. The bill accuses human rights organizations groups of damaging the legitimacy of Israel’s military by "branding IDF soldiers and commanders as war criminals." Peace Now director general Yariv Oppenheimer described the move as "another step on the path toward wiping out democracy in Israel."
