Tax-Exempt Funds Aid Settlements in West Bank http://tvnewslies.org/tvnl/index.php/news/human-rights/15010-tax-exempt-funds-aid-settlements-in-west-bank.html

HaYovel is one of many groups in the United States using tax-exempt donations to help Jews establish permanence in the Israeli-occupied territories — effectively obstructing the creation of a Palestinian state, widely seen as a necessary condition for Middle East peace.

The result is a surprising juxtaposition: As the American government seeks to end the four-decade Jewish settlement enterprise and foster a Palestinian state in the West Bank, the American Treasury helps sustain the settlements through tax breaks on donations to support them.
