Command respect

Sir, – As Caroline Glick makes clear in “How to respond to EU sanctions” (Column One, July 26), Israel must promptly pass proposed legislation that would limit the ability of foreign governments to fund Israeli NGOs.

Doing so would be a truly effective and morally required response to funding that has been subverting the democratic process within Israel by skewing the playing field of competing voices with massive donations to anti-Israel organizations.

Passing such much-needed legislation would be a classic measure-for-measure response to Europe’s sanctimonious meddling. As Rabbi Hillel challenged us, “If not now, when?”

We are not punching bags. We are not sitting ducks. The more we stand up for ourselves the greater the respect on the world stage that we will command. DOUGLAS ALTABEF
