Does this ‘New Israel Fund’ thingee ever have fundraising events in this ‘Israel’ place I’ve heard so much about?
According to their website this ‘New Israel Fund’ has 5 staffers in NYC, 4 in SF, but only 3 in all of Israel.
Perhaps it should change its name to ‘New NYC fund’ or ‘New SF fund’.
Perhaps AIPAC should change its name to “American Washington DC Public Affairs Committee”!
Uh, Dave, if you could read Hebrew, you’d find the Israeli web site has about 30 staffers for NIF’s central office in Jerusalem and five field offices. There are just under 100 staff in Israel, according to NIF’s Director of Communications, Naomi Paiss.
What shall we change your name to, Dave?
1/ @BZ AIPAC can only take funds from one country, the US.
What’s NIF’s excuse?
Im Tirzu manages to get funds for its projects with a total staff of just 5, all in Israel.
2/ @KFJ Are you saying that NIF is saying one thing in one language and another thing in another?
But I thought Arafat was dead. At least someone is carrying on in his (very small) footsteps.
PS How long can an honest organisation refer use the word ‘new’ in its title?

In the case of New College, over 600 years and counting.
Is vapid snark supposed to represent some kind of meaningful critique of 1,000 community organizing and legal aid NGOs in Israel supported by NIF?
