WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The administration of President Barack Obama has
overseen a unit that was examining non-profit groups that support Israel.
A lawsuit filed in U.S. federal district court has disclosed that the
Internal Revenue Service was operating a unit assigned to examine the
positions and board members of pro-Israeli non-profit groups. The unit was
said to have denied tax-exempt status to at least one organization, called Z
Street, on grounds that it opposed Obama's policy toward Israel.
