Should private donations to Israel be tax deductible?

[ding]

In fiscal year 2019, the US provided $3.8 billion in foreign military aid to Israel. Israel also benefits from about $8 billion of loan guarantees. Almost all US aid to Israel is now in the form of military assistance, while in the past it also received significant economic assistance. Between 1974 and 1989, $16.4 billion in U.S. military loans were converted to grants and that this was the understanding from the beginning. Indeed, all past U.S. loans to Israel have eventually been forgiven by Congress.

In addition, there is the more than $1.5 billion in private U.S. funds that go to Israel annually in the form of $1 billion in private tax-deductible donations and $500 million in Israeli bonds.

Should private donations to Israel be tax deductible in the US?

 

[Correll]

How is the government spending relevant to the question of private donations?

 

[Auld Phart]

Only if you live in Israel

 

[Moonglow]

Yes, we can forgive Israel for loans but not American college kids and their student loans...

 

[rylah]

No one asks why Clintons refused to end the US military aid,
when Natanyahu raised the issue?

Don't delude yourselves that the money pouring are mere donations,
for about 1% of Israel's GDP the US assumes control over the strongest nation in the region.

What if for 1% of US GDP,
Britain had the power to override your strategic decisions?

Still call that donations?

BLUF: In normal banter in this forum thread, we tend to equate the State of Israel and the Jewish National Home as one in the same. Since we don't talk about the Jewish National Home much as a special identity, in 98% of the discussion in the thread, it makes no difference. BUT! In this case, it does.

SHORT ANSWER: No!

Setting aside (for the moment) the Balfour Declaration (1917) at the San Remo Conference (1920) the Allied Powers effectively formed a legally binding pact → to establish → in Palestine → a National Home for the Jewish people.

◈ The concept forging "Israel" is based on a political framework through the Right of Self-Determination.​

​

◈ The concept of assembling a Jewish National Home is based on a framework of Religious Freedom.​

The first concept is the assistance and aid to a foreign government in its self-protection of Israel against those entities, and non-state actors, attempting to overthrow the very well developed free state by a league of nations that are not quite competative with Israel.

The second concept is the a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status for the protection and preservation for the religious organization pertaining to the Jewish Faith.

(IF-THEN CONDITIONAL ANSWER)

Contributions to Israel do not fall under the intent of religious freedom exemption applicable to the Jewish National Home [501(c)(3) tax-exempt status]. NOW! IF the intent of the donation is to contribute to the protection and preservation for the freedom afforded to the Jewish National Home, THEN that does meet the intent of the tax exemption.

NOTE (See the difference?):
• The purpose of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) is to preserve the State of Israel, to protect its independence, and to foil attempts by its enemies to disrupt normal life within it.

• International Board of Jewish Missions (IBJM) is a multi-faceted worldwide mission organization that reaches out specifically to God’s chosen people, the Jews. Most of our ministries are designed to help our current missionaries reach Jewish people, and enlist and train new missionaries to further the work of Christ.
• The Mission of the Jewish Agency (and associate or subsidiary companies) is to plant the seeds of friendship between Jewish communities separated by distance, since 1929, we have been securing a vibrant Jewish future for generations to come.

Just my thought...

You love that external interference. Those with the guns can hand out rights to their friends. Must be that old government employment talking.

The LoN and the Mandate could not, and did not, create a Jewish state. The creation of Israel was a unilateral move that was outside of the legal framework for a "national home."

Israel is the mooch capital of the world. It was created with OPM and exists on OPM.

..when are they going to stop ALL aid!!!?? we are in HUGE debt!!!!

I think it has to do with relative instability of US leadership,
i.e. different time flows, leaders in the middle east rule for decades really,
it creates a certain atmosphere when such leaders face a 8 year nominee "with an idea".

It's just what it is, maybe not PC but what it is.

The Arab Palestinians cannot even follow the intention of Article 68 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. They have no intention of following these contemporary restrictions.

Just my thought...

m. The duty of a State to refrain from using terrorist practices as state policy against another State or against peoples under colonial domination, foreign occupation or racist regimes and to prevent any assistance to or use of or tolerance of terrorist groups, saboteurs or subversive agents against third States;

Yep sounds like the Arabs who keep demanding a Jew-free state,
while in order to learn how to even pronounce "Palestine" need to study English.

But folks like you will only get it once CHAZA comes to your neighborhood demanding first Jizyah for being white infidel, then because your Marxist ass will no longer serve the greater goal for which useful idiots like you were demoralized in the first place...you know like every revolution and their useful idiots, I'll leave it to your imagination.

Destroy monuments - yes, parrot anti colonial sound bytes - yes,
but none of you hypocrites will ever give up even a basement for the Native tribes.

RE: Should private donations to Israel be tax deductible?
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,

BLUF: In normal banter in this forum thread, we tend to equate the State of Israel and the Jewish National Home as one in the same. Since we don't talk about the Jewish National Home much as a special identity, in 98% of the discussion in the thread, it makes no difference. BUT! In this case, it does.

SHORT ANSWER: No!

What if for 1% of US GDP, Britain had the power to override your strategic decisions?

Setting aside (for the moment) the Balfour Declaration (1917) at the San Remo Conference (1920) the Allied Powers effectively formed a legally binding pact → to establish → in Palestine → a National Home for the Jewish people.

◈ The concept forging "Israel" is based on a political framework through the Right of Self-Determination.​

​

◈ The concept of assembling a Jewish National Home is based on a framework of Religious Freedom.​

The first concept is the assistance and aid to a foreign government in its self-protection of Israel against those entities, and non-state actors, attempting to overthrow the very well developed free state by a league of nations that are not quite competative with Israel.

The second concept is the a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status for the protection and preservation for the religious organization pertaining to the Jewish Faith.

(IF-THEN CONDITIONAL ANSWER)

Contributions to Israel do not fall under the intent of religious freedom exemption applicable to the Jewish National Home [501(c)(3) tax-exempt status]. NOW! IF the intent of the donation is to contribute to the protection and preservation for the freedom afforded to the Jewish National Home, THEN that does meet the intent of the tax exemption.

NOTE (See the difference?):
• The purpose of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) is to preserve the State of Israel, to protect its independence, and to foil attempts by its enemies to disrupt normal life within it.

• International Board of Jewish Missions (IBJM) is a multi-faceted worldwide mission organization that reaches out specifically to God’s chosen people, the Jews. Most of our ministries are designed to help our current missionaries reach Jewish people, and enlist and train new missionaries to further the work of Christ.
• The Mission of the Jewish Agency (and associate or subsidiary companies) is to plant the seeds of friendship between Jewish communities separated by distance, since 1929, we have been securing a vibrant Jewish future for generations to come.

You love that external interference. Those with the guns can hand out rights to their friends. Must be that old government employment talking.

The LoN and the Mandate could not, and did not, create a Jewish state. The creation of Israel was a unilateral move that was outside of the legal framework for a "national home."

Israel is the mooch capital of the world. It was created with OPM and exists on OPM.

You’re getting frantic. You’re not thinking clearly.

Sure, everything from Rothschild to the little blue boxes, to foreign country handouts, to Golda Mair going to the US to mooch money for their 1948 war, to tax deductible "charities," to sweetheart corporate deals. Not to mention everything stolen from the Palestinians including robbing all the banks in Palestine in 1948.

There is not a bigger bunch of freeloaders on the planet.

Golda who?
