These phony Jewish leaders who live for approbation by the international 'elites' should be forced to hang their heads in collective shame at their despicable behavior. They would rather the Arabs than the Jews get their monies. This is a fact. As soon as I found out about this I stopped all my donations to these groups and now give directly to ones I can trust. History definitely repeats itself. During the Holocaust Peter Bergson (Kook) and his group tried every which way to get help from US 'mainstream' Jewish leaders. For the most part they were AWOL. They were terrified of appearing too parochial in their interests by highlighting Jewish concerns - life and death ones too. There is no doubt that many Jews are ignorant of these deplorable facts. My urgent advise is CLOSE YOUR CHECKBBOKS. Until they start helping ALL Jewish causes, and not just left wing and multicultural ones, you should withhold all monies. That is, unless their priorities are acceptable to you as Jews.

I MYSELF AM AN AMERICAN JEW AND I TAKE OFFENSE TO YOUR LAME STATEMENT. CLEARLY, THE ISRAELI GOV'T HAS FAILED THE EVACUEES BUT THEY ARE STILL OUR BROTHERS. HOW CAN I HELP? PLEASE SOMEONE POST SOME TIPS. THANKS,

PLEASE TELL US THE NAMES OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS THAT YOU HAVE KINDLY PROVIDED THE ADDRESSES OF. THANKS

"Where are my chosen people ? I blessed them, i will curse them " (American Jews be afraid and the shame paraders too)

Ijust made out my check to friends of gush katif.not one dime of my money goes to these rich leftist,stupid org.There members surely know oprahs bra size but when it comes to the welfare of true jewish heros there like deers in a headlight.Its like ythe fall of the roman empire rich fat elitists ,cocktail parties and big ass bar-mitzvahs.The tides are changeing ,look at europe,reminicent of pre ww2.Isuggest arming ourselves,they will goe like lambs to the slaughter

We are seeing the results of the Sharon administration's policy of incitement against the jews of Gush Katif. In order to carry out the brutal removal of Gush Katif residents from thrir homes quickly & without proper preparations for alternative acccomidations Sharon constantly tried to turn citizens against each other. Alrthough I disagree with them, a number of decent people supported the disengagement from Gush Katif. They as opposede to Sharon, wished to do so in a legal democratic fashion while taking into account the needs of the residents.

B"H Jews need to step up to the plate and donate to help their impoverished brothers. This is no less a disaster than New Orleans was, and it is time that we Jews act for the needs of Jews in need instead of just what is politically correct according to the Israeli Government. We are not citizens of the Israeli government and we owe the expelled Jews apology for their harsh impoverishment. We need to show responsibility not to the government of Israel that is a different sovereign entity but to fellow Jews who are suffering who are our brothers and sisters. This is truly a humanitarian cause. That is our responsibility. And we need to step up to the plate now!

Stop giving money to the large so called JEwish Organizations (I.e. UJA, AJC Etc.), They do not support all Jews and their sole purpose is to make some lefty feel good about himself. GIVE your money to organiztions that do care - AMit, Emunah, NCYI, OU One ISrael ETc. Your money will go where its needed instead of paying for a big useless organization. These people do not represent us just themselves. Hit them where it hurts - in the pocketbook

Ask your precious evangelicals. I'm personally disgusted by the ridiculous sense of entitlement in these talkbacks. You slam these "evil liberal leftists (etc.)" groups and then have the nerve to complain when you don't get routine handouts; largely because Israel can't cobble together a coherent government that looks after its own.

To 28, real friend of Gush Katif. For donations P.O.B. 1184 Teaneck, NJ 07666 www.katifund.org

The big federations shouldn't get the money, it goes directly to the arabs who have sworn to destroy us. Check KKL, OIF Gush Katif friends www.katifund.org Get the information there and not through CNN, NBC, ABC they are all arabs.

Raid and burn Tel-aviv and haifa and all the other leftists cities for doing this to you.

Because the government decided to donate your home to another group of people (the Milwaukee Indian tribe for example), don't come asking for donations from the Jewish community. Shnorrer.

Nobody wants your kind here.

Come on now. Settlers that really should not have been there in the first place and took money from the government to go there.....then took money from the government to leave there after they throw a violent fit when asked to leave. If the Israeli government let you down....why do you think you should be GIVEN money again by the american jews? If they had jobs to begin with they would have jobs still...oh but wait that's why they went to live in Gaza....so they would not have to work. Just paid to be a thorn in the side of the Palestinian people and be a reason for the Israeli government to hold them down!! Get a job...get a life and most of all GET REAL!!!

"If they had jobs to begin with they would have jobs still...oh but wait that's why they went to live in Gaza....so they would not have to work. " Freaking retard, they had a greenhouse industry that generated $150 million/year of revenue in produce exports. This greenhouse industry was turned over to the Palestinians who immediately proceeded to pull it down SO THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORK and cry for more handouts from the stupid EU.

Like I said they didn't have jobs. And if they are smart enough to grow what you say was "a greenhouse industry that generated $150 million/year of revenue in produce exports." Then they should be able to start again and shut up and stop looking for handouts. Why don't you give them all your hard earned cash? or better yet....come live in Israel and stop your whining!!!! Bet you have never been there huh????????

I am very interested in speaking with you regarding your efforts to educate your local Jewish leaders. Your "talkback" is excellent: "We will pressure the mainstream organizations that we give money to so that they support the evacuees. American Jews supported the disengagement by and large so it is shameful not to support those who were displaced. Best regards, Buddy Macy vegibud@aol.com

this what happens when the only thing jewish about you is your parents and u are run a jewish orgization these are the same people who use their jewishness to speak out against jews NO should be donating to these "jewish" charities, the only thing jewish is thier last names

the government asked to go and move to gaza why? because it was a helpfull a stritigic advantage, look what happened after they pull out, look for urself now they want more the want all the towns next to gaza, should the stinken arabs get that too for free, and just take it away from ur so called RICH, they were soppose to get 14 million for those green houses from the arabs did they get it NO, so most dont have money to start over, stop ur stupid crap u get from ur liberal news paper!

those people are probably sending the money to NEW Orlean, say the poor blacks need it more the the jews
