Can somebody explain this,i still dont understand the bill

It means If an NGO or media outlet gets a significant amount of money (more than 20%) from foreign sources, they must register with the government as an "organization" or "foreign agent". The registration requirement applies to organizations that receive funding from abroad, even if their work is focused on promoting democracy, human rights, or independent journalism.

⚡Israel has told the U.S. that it now has Evidence that Senior Members of the Palestinian Authority are attempt to Pressure the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague into issuing Arrest Warrants for several Israeli Officials including Prime Minister Netanyahu, Defense Minister Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Halevi for Human Rights Violations as well as War Crimes during their War against Hamas.

With Israel having further Warned the United States that if these Arrest Warrants are issued, then they will consider the Palestinian Authority as Responsible while Retaliating with Actions, such as Tax Restrictions, that could lead to their Financial and Physical Collapse.

At bolded you just gave a western media explanation, which is not only bais but also a lie. Shoodboi2 gave a correct explanation. The US are not screeming democracy to the world for people to make their choice no, it is for them to influence the system and the people to make their(US) Choice.

Israel is giving the world more and more reason to believe they are complete fools. Even if you want to threaten the courts, you should do it smartly and subtly. A smart leadership will vow to not to accept "biased judgments" or something like that. They are overspoiled bastards that need to seriously learn that they are not half as special as they think they are

Did Yasser Arafat not die an old fool? After decades of being thrown around and tricked by the Americans and Israelis, how did he end up?

He never got the Palestinian state and was most likely assassinated.

Mahmoud Abbas will go the same way. His will even be worse because many Palestinians consider him a traitor.

His party, Fatah, lost the 2006 Palestinian election to Hamas. Instead of leaving, the US, EU, UK, and Israel refused him handing over to Hamas.

Instead, the US, EU, Israel and UK tried to launch another election, but realising Hamas was going to win it again, started to train Fatah to fight Hamas.

Hamas found out and defeated Fatah.

Fatah then left the Gaza strip and went to the West Bank, leaving Hamas to control the Gaza strip.

Meanwhile, the US, UK, EU, and Israel left Fatah in control of the West Bank with Abbas as president. So much for democracy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Palestinian_legislative_election

I remember that election and the terrible things the west did after loss of Fatah.

It was such a landslide victory for Hamas that saw even most of the Christians voting Hamas because they considered them far more reliable and honest than Fatah which had become very corrupt.

Then the West which had for years encouraged the Palestinian authority to become more democratic and hold elections came out after Hamas's victory to dismiss the outcome.
They knew Hamas was in the contest but believed Hamas could never win.
After the elections they said "Anti-democratic forces could not benefit from democracy".

Perfectly said. They also use these "NGOs"(who receive their funding through US government funded intermediaries-NED, USAID etc) to forment regime change and color revolutions to politically capture a country under their influence. The Arab uprisings, Ukraine's maidan events are good examples of these. They call these blatant interference in other countries' internal affairs as "promoting democracy and freedom", but anyone with a little shred of grey matter would understand what they actually mean by that grin wink The funny and hypocritical thing about the whole bill saga is, the western governments backing these brainless mobs have similar laws in place in their respective countries, the US in particular, it's called FARA(Foreign Agent Registration Act).

True.

They're also trying to prevent a foreign agent organization holding their country by the jugular, like what AIPAC is doing to the United Snakes right now.

Some sensible people in the US are now questioning why AIPAC wasn't registered under FARA in the first place.

⚡The U.S. and Saudi Arabia are nearing a historic pact.

— U.S. will military commit to Riyadh’s security and provide access to previously off limit weapons.

— Saudis will limit Chinese tech in the kingdom, build a US-led civilian nuclear program.

— Saudis will recognise Israel if Netanyahu stops the war, and commits a pathway to Palestinian statehood.
US second most important asset in the middle east after Israel. I hope the Saudis plays their card well and get all US advanced weapons.
Let us continue to see US hypocrisy in action 😂

Many countries, particularly the US, UK, and EU states, use NGOs as a front for spying, influencing government policy, and funding politicians, elections, protests and uprisings.

So, Georgia wants to pass a law that will require any NGO that receives 20% of its funding from any entity outside of Georgia, to register as an organisation working on behalf of a foreign government.

Those protesters (who are funded by those same NGOs) are then protesting against the Georgian government signing such bill.
You forgot to tell him USA also has such law

⚡U.S. House voted to pass the bipartisan "Antisemitism Awareness Act" by a margin of 320 to 91.

Rights groups warn that the definition could further chill freedom of speech.

Here are some examples what might constiute as antisemitism from the bill:

— Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or
blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.

— Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

— Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.


— Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.

— Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.

— Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.

— Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.

⚡Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba called the goal of the June conference in Switzerland the creation of a coalition of countries with common principles and approaches. After the conference, he said, “communications with Russia” are possible.

“After this there can be communication with Russia, and Russia can be part of the negotiations.

In the end, you cannot end the war without both sides,” Kuleba said in an interview with Foreign Policy. This is how the minister answered the question about what is the point of holding a peace conference in Switzerland without Russia’s participation.
