Honestly, only someone who is Anti-Semetic would care of the kids receiving the help were Jewish or not. When I donate to a kids' charity, I don't ask (and certainly don't care) about the religious and ethnic make-up of the recipients. All I care about is that they are kids.

Wow, you toss the Anti-Semitic label out pretty quickly. I would have a problem with a charity that implies it is a broad-based childrens charity, when, in fact, it has a hidden narrow scope. Religion or not religion.

I was pretty annoyed when I donated for a program designed for after school basketball program for the city, then later found out ALL of the funds went to a specific team that was co-sponsored by a local politician (though he was a good guy) that had his name plastered over all of their uniforms.

Wow, I did not know that. That's pretty slimy. I mean, I wouldn't give them a penny just because of that horrible jingle, anyway. According to Wikipedia they use illegals and they've been fined in PA and OR for "misleading practices" too. Jeesh.
