Approved by the Knesset on May 24, 2009 by a vote of 37-25, with 60 abstaining: "Fundamentals of Finance – Amendment No. 40", sometimes referred to as the Nakba Law, is a 2011 Israeli law which received criticism for limiting freedom of speech pertaining to the founding of Israel and the Nakba. The law affects organizations which are funded, in whole or in part, by the government.[1] The law authorizes the Minister of Finance to withhold a limited amount of state funds from any government-funded[1] institution or body that commemorates "Israel's Independence Day or the day on which the state was established as a day of mourning", or that denies the existence of Israel as a "Jewish and democratic state." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba_Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba_Law
