I'm beginning to think that the only solution to the ADL's problems is to throw that idiot Foxman out on his ear. He should go over to the ACLU where he belongs.

Being Jewish, I find it terribly sad that I'm unable to donate to any Jewish charities, with the exception of a donation in memory of my mother to a synagogue that I'm a member of... My donations all seem to go to Christian or Catholic charities, or secular charities (Salvation Army, City Union Mission in KC, Truman Medical Center Charitable Trust - for indigent medical care). I'd love to give some money to a Jewish charity that doesn't support things I simply can't abide. I've sworn that I'll never give a cent to Hadassa or Bnai Brith due to their political leanings, unless they change their policies.

I think you have to be selective in your donations. For instance, I'm a Republican, but I would never donate the the RNC, because the money would probably go to help re-elect Arlen Specter. I donate to selected candidates whom I can trust.

The same with Catholic charities. I donate to ones that I can support, but I can't do it through the bishop's fund, because that supports all sorts of questionable causes.

And I donate to a few Evangelical organizations such as Survivors, because they are doing specialized work that I believe in.

It's unfortunate, but that's the way things are at the moment.

There are some Chabad charities.

Commendable, Mark. It's too bad things are that way, but I salute you for your principle.
