Anti-Israel organization Jewish Voice for Peace is out of pocket to the tune of almost $700,000 because one of their lies (of which there are plenty) has come back to bite them on the tuchus.
Anti-Zionist activist group Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) has agreed to pay $677,634 to settle allegations that it defrauded federal Coronavirus pandemic financial loan programs by stating on applications that it was not a political or lobbying entity, the District of Columbia US Attorney’s Office and US Small Business Administration announced on Tuesday.
JVP will be paying twice the amount it received for a $338,817 second-draw loan under the Paycheck Protection Act Program, created as part of the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act Disaster Relief Program to provide support to American citizens, businesses, and organizations suffering economic hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
While under the CARES Act a non-profit is not eligible for a second draw loan if it is chiefly engaged in political or lobbying activities, JVP, a progressive Jewish activist group that advocates against Zionism and the State of Israel, certified in its loan application that it was not lobbying or “engaging in advocacy in areas such as public policy.”
The SBA and US Attorney Office said an investigation confirmed that JVP was primarily engaged in political activities. Recent political activities by JVP included organizing a letter campaign to members of Congress to enact an arms embargo against the state of Israel.
The truth is, just writing “Jewish Voice for Peace” on the application form should have been enough to raise the issue of fraud, given they are hardly Jewish and certainly not for peace.
Praise the Lord!
And unlike any JVP-er, I actually know how to do that.
