Powerful Zionist advocacy organizations have been funded to such astronomical levels that it comes as no surprise to find their income sources are tied in with fraudsters like Bernard Madoff. It has long been suspected that these organizations may also be receiving funds which are somehow redirected back to the USA from the billions extorted from Americans every year to prop up the state of Israel.
