NIF Israel head: we don't care what grantees say against our principles just what they do

NIF Israel head: we don't care what grantees say against our principles just
what they do
Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA 20 September 2010

"We allocate grants to whoever believes in the right of the Jewish People to
self determination, and whoever sees Israel as a democracy, for everyone. If
someone would act, not say something, but will act significantly against
this principle and other principles of the NIF, I assume that he will not be
entitled for a grant."
Rachel Liel, NIF-Israel Executive Director interviewed on Israel Radio's
"Seder Yom" program 20 September 2010

In other words, a radical Israeli organization that openly and vocally
opposes the right of the Jewish People to self determination - for example
the Israeli Arab group Adallah, that calls for revoking the Law of Return
that grants Jews from the Diaspora the right to Israeli citizenship if they
immigrate to Israel, could continue to receive NIF funding since this is
only "saying something"?

So just what exactly constitutes "acting"?

Lying down on the runway at Ben Gurion to block planes landing with Jewish
immigrants?
