PRO-ISRAEL PAC CONTRIBUTIONS TO 2008 CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES

AJCongress Crippled by Madoff Scandal

<Officials at the 90-year-old American Jewish Congress disclosed that apparent fraud at Madoff’s investment firm had cost the organization roughly $21 million of the $24 million in endowments that supported the AJCongress and its programs.>

Comment made from an observer...
"So... every candidate supported by the AJC in effect ran their campaigns with stolen money!

Is this why there is such a blanket being thrown over the whole Madoff scandal? Was Madoff's swindle the main funding mechanism that allowed pro-Israel political groups to so generously donate to American politicians, thereby buying their loyalty for Israel?"
