Daniel Pipes inspired me to look into the Jewish donors of the Mossawa Center, the epicenter of Israel's Fifth Column.

Ah ha! The New Israel Fund not only financially supports the Mossawa Center, but its most recent grant was for $280,000+ - one of the top 5 largest NIF grants out of the dozens it hands out.

Then I looked at NIF's donors and learned a few interesting, and appalling, factoids. In the $100,000+ NIF donor category, we find the Jewish Agency for Israel. Another member in that category is none other than the European Union. In the $25,000 - 49,999 donor category we find the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. And in the $10 - 24,999 category are the Jewish Federations of LA, Atlanta, Houston and New Hampshire, and the UJA-Federation of NY.

Israel's fifth column is apparently being financially supported by almost every American Jew, albeit few realize it. Time for American Jews to start restricting their donations.
