Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett explained to Galei Tzahal (Army Radio) that he canceled his scheduled appearance at the Haaretz Conference because speakers included organization affiliated with the New Israel Fund.
Bennett explained that he will speak in any forum, including Haaretz, reminding listeners that last year 1,000 participants booed him and labeled him a fascist but he would nevertheless speak
However, he explains that despite the fact the New Israel Fund and its affiliated organizations like B’Tselem and Peace Now view themselves as “Zionist”, the bottom line is they systematically gather information to harm the IDF as they did in the past, including during Operation Protective Edge, and therefore, he will not appear with the fund and its affiliates.

Good decision.
Most groups opted out, think MK DERI is the only one still in. NEW ISRAEL FUND is an anti-jewis/israel group funded & supported by Jewish JEW-haters and Palistinean supporters.
Agree with him on this!!!
These lefty groups are the Gestopo of the Middle East. If they lived in Germany they would have joined the nazi party against the Jews
Very well, nos. 1 and 2, but then these anti-Zionist organizations will have the floor to themselves.
So he won’t speak at an event featuring NIF, but he has no problem having irreligious Jews in his party.
I don’t see how people can deny Bayit Yehudi is far more Zoinist than it is religious.
