- B. The Israeli legislature (The Knesset) passes a law that inhibits joining controversial or political minority organizations:
- 1) The Knesset passed the Amutot Law of 1980, which inhibits people from joining controversial or political minority organizations because it requires by law all such organizations to make available to all their membership (and by extension any undercover government agent) the complete membership roles of the organization including all of the members' contact information.
Thus if anyone is nervous about being associated with such organizations for fear of problems at work, or for their family, then they would not feel free to join these organizations. Thus their freedom of association has been interfered with.
