IRS admits: 'We targeted supporters of Israel's disputed territories'

Obama's Gestapo has finally admitted what we suspected all along: They targeted supporters of Israel's right to Judea and Samaria.

Two things happened on Monday, June 24, that proved, finally, that Z STREET – and others similarly situated – was correct.

First, the IRS released its 83 page document, “Charting a Path Forward at the IRS,” in response to the Treasury Department’s Inspector General who found that the IRS had engaged in inappropriate targeting of certain groups which had sought tax exempt status from the IRS.

... 

The second revelation was one made by Bloomberg News.  That media agency obtained IRS documents revealing that, in addition to the terms Tea Party and 9/12, other terms were used in flagging organizations seeking tax exempt status for additional scrutiny.  While the headline of the article, and what was the object of most media attention, was that terms that suggested not just conservative groups, but also liberal or progressive groups were given the IRS evil eye – words such as “occupy” and “progressive” were allegedly triggers, as was the word “Israel.”

But far down in a long article the Bloomberg reporter explains that, “Disputed Territories” was considered problematic.  To wit:

‘Disputed Territories” The November, 2010 [BOLO - Be On the Look Out] list also has terms that could be related to Israel, looking for applications that ‘deal with disputed territories in the Middle East’ and ‘may be inflammatory.’

Well, golly!  What kind of a group calls a particular area of land “disputed territories,” which the vast majority of people, either for ideological or simply conformity refer to as the “West Bank?”  Yes, that would be strong Zionist groups such as Z STREET.

Read the whole thing.

I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop and for them to admit that they targeted Americans in Israel because we overwhelmingly support Israel's presence in Judea and Samaria and because we didn't vote for Obama. Maybe that's why so many of us were audited.

The IRS is sickeningly corrupt - no better than the 'tax authorities' of a banana republic. It's time to clean house at the IRS - but to do that,  you'd have to start at the White House.
