Report: Peace Now Broke the Law, Misused Funds


(IsraelNN.com) According to Channel 2, Justice Ministry officials have accused the far-left Peace Now group of breaking the law. The group is accused of using funds earmarked for a non-profit educational organization for political activities. Officials have recommended that the group face charges.

In addition, Peace Now contributions will no longer be tax-deductible in the United States, as the group lacks the proper certification. The change in status may make it more difficult for the group to raise money abroad.


I am going to follow this story since my gut feeling is that charges will never be filed. I can't remember a left wing group ever being hit with corruption charges, so this may be the first time if it in fact happens.
