Remember Kars4Kids? They were embezzling like $50M/yr to Israel. Oh and those “kids” they were helping? Yeah it paid for birthright trips.

Hey! They were doing more than that. …they were also indoctrinating kids into Orthodox Judaism and money laundering through real estate deals

I think the reason people sued is they assumed their donations would go to help underprivileged children in their state or whatnot

It was always shady to me. The ads were extremely vague as to what it actually was

This is a “fundamentalist indoctrination is bad regardless of religion” comment if that wasn’t clear.

Didn’t mention any of that in their advertisements. Which is why they got sued as early as 2009.

They got sued in multiple states because their advertising was so plainly misleading. They also are a terrible charity, using a disproportionate amount of funds for advertising. And they used that money for real estate deals too.

That was the Minnesota lawsuit. Minnesotans donated tons of money but barely any was spent inside Minnesota. It was all spent in New York instead.

I never understand why people are so quick to defend a company whenever they get sued for misleading advertising. It doesn't really matter if the consumers should've read the fine print imo. If there was an intent to mislead AND enough people were misled, that's definitely enough to be a problem

That’s almost purely because of Israel’s propaganda. They label ANYTHING that’s even remotely against them as antisemitic and treat it like a declaration of war, even if it has absolutely nothing to do with race or religion
