Forward Study of the Jєωιѕн Charity Industry March 27, 2014 |

...The $26 billion dollar figure in the title refers to the net assets of the network of Jєωιѕн charitable organizations, which puts it in the same league as a major corporation. Annual revenue is around $12-14 billion. Assuming an American Jєωιѕн population of around 6.4 million, this implies assets per capita of over $4000 and per capita annual giving of around half that. Based on an older survey indicating 2.3 persons per Jєωιѕн household, annual giving per household would be around $6000.
These numbers are certainly not earth shaking, but, when broken down to particular categories, t
hey indicate that Jєωιѕн activist organizations are indeed well funded, especially when compared to the financial resources of organizations that oppose Jєωιѕн interests (probably well under $1 million for organizations explicitly dedicated to advancing the interests of White Americans).
For example, 6% of the $3.7 billion in annual donations for functional charities is allocated for “Advocacy” ($222,000,000 annually), and 38% goes to Israel-related causes ($1.4 billion annually). Advocacy presumably includes the ADL which reported revenue of over $53 million in 2012—enough to fund over $31 million in employee salaries (including Abe Foxman at $688,188 ) and 28 regional offices.
That’s a lot of power in opposition to White interests given the virtual non-existence of organizations explicitly dedicated to furthering White identification and interests.
These numbers for donations to Jєωιѕн charity are underestimates because the IRS doesn’t require ѕуηαgσgυєs to file tax returns, and the same goes for schools and seminaries. As a result, “the $12 billion to $14 billion in annual revenue, the Forward’s best estimate based on tax filings, is probably billions of dollars short of the network’s actual size.”
The other way in which such a report fails to get at the scope of financial support for Jєωιѕн ethnic activism is that it does not include organizations that are not explicitly Jєωιѕн but are supported by Jєωs for ethnic reasons. As Norman Podhoretz notes, Jєωs are the financial engine of the left, but of course the vast majority of charity for leftist causes would not appear in the Forward article because they are not explicitly Jєωιѕн organizations. (The ethnic component of Jєωιѕн involvement with the left is discussed in Chapter 3 of The Culture of Critique.) A good example is the SPLC which is largely Jєωιѕн-funded but would not be considered a Jєωιѕн communal organization. (In 2012 the SPLC reported revenue of over $37 million and salaries of over $16 million.)
Or consider the neocon infrastructure, such as the Foundation for Defense of Democracies: All of the identifiable donors are Jєωs, including a host of well-known Jєωιѕн activists like Edgar M. Bronfman ($1,050,000) and Michael Steinhardt ($850,000) who co-founded the Birthright Israel program that brings Jєωιѕн young people to Israel for a dose of Jєωιѕн patriotism. Haim Saban, who is a pro-Israel fanatic but usually supports left-wing causes in the Diaspora, donated $10,000. The same for the Republicans and Democrats, where Jєωιѕн funding promotes Israel and the liberal/left values of the Jєωιѕн community (likely at least 60% of Democrat funding, and at least 40% of Republican). Right now “Republicans who are considering a run for president are courting Sheldon Adelson [who donated more than $100 million in the last presidential election cycle] as a preliminary to everything else they must do to prove their worthiness, like kissing babies in Iowa or formulating a position on jobs.” And anyone with a brain knows that Adelson’s support is begins and ends with what the candidate will do for Israel.
