Israeli teens were paid by a US NGO to write anti-draft letter
Refuser Solidarity Network provides a U.S. base of support for those who refuse service in the Israeli military for reasons of political conscience
As Israelis wring their hands about the 63 teen anti-Zionists who signed a letter refusing to serve in the IDF (but are comforted by the 650 teens who wrote a letter opposing them), it now comes out, as I opined last week, that they are funded by a U.S. leftist organization. The Refuser Solidarity Netwrk (RSN) is listed as a tax-exempt 501 c3 organization in America. Its mission statement says, Refuser Solidarity Network provides a U.S. base of support for those who refuse service in the Israeli military for reasons of political conscience.
501c3’s are charitable organizations exempt from paying taxes on funding they accept, then pass onto recipients. The Palestinian Arabs for years have created 501c3’s that generate tax free revenue to aid their jihad against the Jews in the Middle East.
They also generated money for Al Qaeda through the Holy Land
Foundation trial in Texas. The U.S. Treasury department, which runs the IRS, went after the Holy Land Foundation and convicted its principals of money laundering schemes for Hamas. But the Bush administration, which carried on a love affair with the Saudis, and the Obama Administration, with its love of the Muslim Brotherhood, set the tone for these shady business activities to be ignored.
“RSN provides grants to Israeli refuser organizations and develops educational programs about refusal for U.S. audiences. As refusal is one of the most essential means of Israeli resistance to occupation from within, RSN works with refusers to end the Israeli occupation and work towards a just peace for Palestinians and Israelis,” its website states.
Of course, a “just peace” means the end of a Jewish state, deemed an “occupation.” They can’t seem to help themselves when irredentist Arabs in America want to raise money to conquer the Jews.
The pro-Israel, anti-boycott NGO “Reservists On Duty,” established in 2015 by IDF reserve combat soldiers and officers, works to counter Israeli NGOs that assist the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS). They sent a letter to the Israeli Ambassador to the US, Ron Dermer, regarding the 63 Israeli 12th graders who declared their refusal to serve in the IDF - a letter originally revealed by the Hebrew newspaper Yediot Ahronot. “Shockingly enough", they write, "this organization is financed by an American based organization called RSN (Refuser Solidarity Network)." They argue that RSN’s status as a 501 (C)3, allowing it to receive tax deductible donations, is illegitimate due to the special alliance between the US and Israel.
As for those 63, their supposed pangs of conscience are debatable. None asked to be given conscientious objector status because of opposition to violence so as to become hospital workers or of service to Israel. No, they want to be exempt from helping Israel, in order to please their Arab benefactors. Maybe they hope to cause a manpower shortage in the IDF so shaheeds can stab more Israelis in public places.
A photo showed up in a leftist email blast of some of the 63 who signed the letter. The photo should be plastered all over Israel so their peers can see who the useful idiots are. Most have smug smiles on their faces. Consider those smiles an endorsement for attempts to bring down the House of Israel.
Draft dodgers can be subject to many years in prison, but Israel gives these little darlings a slap on the wrist and lets them go home after weeks and sometimes days. Wow, they get to be the center of attention, get paid a bit (maybe a tour of U.S. campuses also) and their are part of today’s fake news.
Their photos should be posted all over Israel. Some government leaders think it might be better to ignore them. But I say it's better for their families and school administrators be exposed to what they have brought up in Israel, a small minority of quislings for the Israel Left who want Arab fascism at any price. The majority of Israeli youth are not such selfish little monsters.
Take a look at the photo, folks. If you recognize any of them, be sure to let their families and neighbors know who they are. Every time someone is stabbed on a street in Israel or Yesha, point them out because these are NOT the new generation of Israeli youth, but the left overs after a few US dollars have been spread around by Jew-haters in America.
