According to New York's state attorney
general, 19 organizations tied to four individuals were fraudulent set-ups
intended to aggressively hoodwink Israel supporters into donations that were
mostly used for their own benefit.
Eric
Schneiderman alleged the four "brazenly abused the generosity of the
public” by withdrawing more than $2.5 million raised in donations for personal
and family expenses from 2007 to 2013.
The organizations included Hatzalah Rescue of Israel, Magen Israel,
Israel Leukemia and Cancer Society, Our Children and Zaka Israel. They were not
affiliated with similarly named organizations.
