When the authors say "Experts estimate that about five percent of all money donated by American Jews -- and 20 percent donated particularly to Jewish causes -- goes to Israel..." they are implying that only a quarter of American Jewish charity giving is donated specifically to Jewish causes. Frankly, I do not find this credible.
