In an apparent attempt to patch things up with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after a year or so of shaky ties, U.S. billionaire and President of the World Jewish Congress Ronald Lauder published a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, supporting the premier and his position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

I have struggled over the years about how to donate productive to Israel. I stopped buying bonds a long time ago. I simply did not trust the crazy, right-wing government to use my for good puposes. I soon crossed off JNF because I could not get assurance that my dollars would not be spent on settlement or other Haredi priorities..Now the president of WJC turns out to be Bibi's buddy.. I can't trust that either. I still have New Israel, ARMDI, and a few other relatively safe places to donate to but any ideas are welcome. I do not want another dollar of mine in Bibi's hand or any of his governement consorts. What a mess the politics of Israel has become.
thank you
