Radical 'Israeli' NGO, Adalah, has finally succeeded at something. They have succeeded in getting UNICEF to shun charity money from the horridly tainted source known as Lev Leviev. The world's children thank Adalah for their concern: UNICEF cuts ties with Lev Leviev
According to the report, Leviev, who is the chairman of Africa Israel Investments, is in charge of at least one company in his conglomerate which the Arab rights advocacy group Adalah-NY claims built Jewish settlements on West Bank land.
Adalah-NY launched a campaign against Leviev whereby they appealed to the UN children's fund UNICEF to cut its connection with the Israeli businessman, the report said. UNICEF has received direct and indirect funding from Leviev over the years.
Following its review of the charges set by Adalah-NY, the UN group decided to end its relationship with Leviev after concluding that there was "at least a reasonable grounds for suspecting" his company had supported West Bank construction, Reuters reported...
Listen, no one should be giving money to any UN agencies like UNICEF anyway, but that's beside the point.
I would like to point out that Mr. Leviev looks like a fine gentleman, and since UNICEF will no longer be accepting his money, I know a place where his money would go to good use, and directly benefit a child...mine, as well as my mother's son...me. PayPal happily accepted. Arrangements willingly made for direct wire transfer. I don't care where else you spend your money. Don't think of it as charity, think of it as Solomonia sponsorship...or think of it as charity, like I care.

If you supply a little colorful sack, I will sponsor you and seek donations door to door at Halloween. Beats ENUFicef any day.
Please note that Adalah in Israel has no relationship with Adalah-NY, nor is Adalah in Israel in any way involved with these activities related to Leviev.
Adalah-NY is a New York City-based activist coalition (which happens to have many Jewish members): www.adalahny.org
Adalah means justice in Arabic, hence many groups use Adalah in their name.
Thank you for that clarification. If anything, Adalah-NY looks like even more of disgrace than than the Israeli version. It's even more amazing that their demands carry weight with UNICEF.
