Pro-Israel organizations audited by IRS, say actions may have been coordinated May 30th 2013, 11:47 Published May 30, 2013 Washington Free Beacon A Washington Free Beacon investigation has identified at least five pro-Israel organizations that have been audited by the IRS in the wake of a coordinated campaign by White House-allied activist groups in 2009 and 2010.  These organizations, some of which are too afraid of government reprisals to speak publicly, say in interviews with the Free Beacon that they now believe the IRS actions may have been coordinated by the Obama administration.  Many of the charities openly clashed with the Obama administration's policy of opposing Israeli settlement construction over the so-called "Green Line," which marks the pre-1967 boundary between Israel and the West Bank and West and East Jerusalem.  After the Obama administration took up the Israeli-Palestinian peace process as one of its most prominent foreign policy priorities in early 2009, and made a cessation of Israeli settlement construction the cornerstone of its approach, the nonprofits were subjected to a string of unflattering media reports.  White House-allied lobbying groups joined the media criticism by challenged the nonprofits' tax-exempt status, arguing that they undercut President Barack Obama's Middle East policies.  Click for more from The Washington Free Beacon.
