Down,

At first, it might sound like any other group of extremists. The flyer from the American Friends of Zo Artzeinu, a pro-Israel group with its own answer to the Mid-East conflict, asks for donations to help arm Israel with attack dogs. What differs Zo Artzeinu from Klansmen and alien sex cults is its recognition by the IRS and State of New York as a legitimate charity, which means donations are tax deductible.

Bearing an image of the sort of snarling canine Martin Bormann must have played fetch with, the flyer seeks “your generosity” in supplying the Israeli Defence Forces with 1,000 attack dogs.

Their Web site demands the expulsion of all Arabs refusing to recognize Jewish sovereignty over Greater Israel, and calls for “terrible vengeance.”

While the U.S. government doesn’t seem bothered by the agenda, they may eventually take note of the bookkeeping. For the $49,544 (U.S.) claimed in its first IRS filing (for a total of $246,000 by 2000), all Zo Artzeinu could account for was $128 in parking tickets. :
