(BLOG) Is The IRS Blocking Opposing Israel Viewpoints?

"Z Street, run by my friend Lori Lowenthal Marcus, made the decision to apply for 501c3 status as a tax exempt organization several months ago. This week, her organization filed suit against the IRS over what it considers to be a lengthy delay, if not blockage, of its application, and over the reasons that it contends were offered by the IRS which it feels are discriminatory. This situation has received no little attention in the Jewish world and for good reason. You may find an article about Z Street’s suit on their website.

What is going on? More than likely, a lower level IRS agent did not do a good job of explaining the administration’s position or perhaps does not understand it well enough to do so, but the length of the process and specific attention given this organization is of concern even if her actions are in keeping with proper procedures. It is possible that there is more to this case, but we will see as the suit progresses."
