The Jewish National Fund (JNF) is a private, Jewish, donor-funded organization which owns 13% of Israel's total land. According to Israeli law, public lands cannot be sold but may be leased for terms no greater than 49 years. The privately JNF-owned land is administered by the Israel Land Administration (ILA), a government body, which agreed to lease the land only to Jews, in accordance with the JNF's bylaws. The JNF and ILA have come under fire recently in the media due to petitions filed with the Israeli Supreme Court on behalf of 17 non-Jewish families who's bids for lots in Karmiel were frozen. The JNF argues that the land is privately owned land accesible only to Jews as per the covenant between JNF and it's donors. The JNF also points out that Arab WAQF-owned land (encompassing approximately 4% of Israel's total land area) is used exclusively for that group and not by the population at large.

February 2005

The Oil-for-Food Scandal has revealed that the United Nations stole millions from the Iraqi people, leading to countless deaths from malnutrition and lack of medicine. The U.N. also allowed Saddam Hussein to use those funds to pay the families of Palestinian suicide bombers $25,000 each for bombings which maimed and murdered thousands, including 53 Americans. It has endorsed the ethnic cleansing of Jews from land coveted by the oil-rich Arabs for yet another Palestinian state. The U.S. alone pays about 24% of the UN's budget. U.S. taxpayers should not have to pay for a racist, terrorism-sponsoring organization run WITHOUT OVERSIGHT by deposts and dictators, who continually condemn the U.S. and other free socities.

IMRA reports: The EU and it's individual member states have donated $4 billion Euros in the past decade to the Palestinian Authority. The World Banks says that, with money from the US and Arab states, the Palestinians have received "...the highest per capita aid transfer in the history of foreign aid anywhere." Yet Palestinians live below the $2 per day poverty marker, and use their poverty to justify terrorism. A new website, euFunding.org has published a report which ties PA nepositism, corruption and terrorism to EU funds.
