A Pennsylvania Jewish group that has claimed the Internal Revenue Service is targeting pro-Israel groups introduced in federal court today a letter from an IRS agent to another, unnamed organization that tax experts said was likely outside the usual or appropriate scope of an IRS inquiry.

According to my church’s religious beliefs, the land of Israel was given to the Hebrews by God. I guess we’re going to lose are tax-exempt status.

...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.

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.
