The IRS vs. Pro-Israel Groups (applications sent to antiterrorism unit)

NRO ^ | 6/17/2013 | Eliana Johnson

Applications of pro-Israel groups for tax-exempt status are routinely routed to an antiterrorism unit within the Internal Revenue Service for additional screening, according to the testimony of a Cincinnati-based IRS agent.

Asked whether Jewish or pro-Israel applications are treated differently from other applications, Gary Muthert told House Oversight Committee investigators that they are considered “specialty cases” and that “probably” all are sent to an IRS unit that examines groups for potential terrorist ties.

Muthert, who served as an application screener before transferring to the agency’s antiterrorism unit, was interviewed in connection with the committee’s investigation into the IRS’s discrimination against conservative groups. As a screener, Muthert flagged tea-party applications and passed them along to specialists for further scrutiny.

Don't investigates mosques or muslims, but send information on tea parties and pro-Israel groups to anti-terrorism units.

I think we get the picture now, Barry.

Our government is becoming as anti-semitic as Nazi Germany was in the 1930’s. Does this mean DC will be building gas chambers soon? Sheesh, what is happening in Washington DC???????

DC stands for District of Criminals. Can you expect anything less?

Hmmm...Certainly the House investigators asked Muthert the obvious follow-up question! I am breathlessly awaiting his answer.

American Jews will still overwhelmingly vote democrats.

Yep, I mean you hear about Israelis setting off bombs almost daily! Oh wait! Israelis? I meant the followers if Islam.

My mistake.

Seriously folks wtf is going on here?

Christians are targets. Friends of Israel are targets.

Who’s running the IRS today, Hezbollah?

“American Jews will still overwhelmingly vote democrats.”

Yes, and that is relevant to Israeli Jews, how?

It’s relevant in that their co religionists are helping elect the people who are selling Israel out.

Young people are 'catching on' to what the dems are...

[Jewbacca]

JINOs don’t support Israel, financially or otherwise, and have no connection to Israel, except religion, which they reject.

As such, you might as well have posted “But Roman Catholics vote for Democrats who hate Israel” -— well, who cares unless you believe in some sort of racial or religious collective blame.

I vote Republican, and I was born and raised in Gush Katif.

Something like 90% of ex-pat Americans in Israel(or dual citizens like me) vote Republican. That’s why the Democrats try every election year to interfere with absentee ballots from Israel in Florida.
