Should read “our tax-exempt”.

"Does your organization support the existence of the land of Israel?" IRS agent Tracy Dornette wrote the organization...apparently not realizing that the government of the United States, as well as the majority of the countries on Earth, support the existence of the land of Israel. If she doesn't, she doesn't belong working for us. Thanks Para-Ord.45.
That’s none of the IRS’s f***in’ business!!!
In a saner time, the group would only get scrutiny if the answer to that question (or similar question about supporting a major US official foreign policy) was NO.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
