Anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for Peace to Pay $677,634 after Covid Loan Fraud Allegation
(Jerusalem Post) Micahel Starr - The Anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) has agreed to pay $677,634 to settle allegations that it defrauded federal Coronavirus loan programs by stating that it was not a political or lobbying entity, the U.S. Attorney's Office said Tuesday. JVP will be paying twice the amount it received for a $338,817 loan under the Paycheck Protection Act program. The U.S. Small Business Administration and the U.S. Attorney's Office said an investigation confirmed that JVP was primarily engaged in political activities, such as organizing a letter campaign to members of Congress to enact an arms embargo against the State of Israel. The settlement and federal investigation was the result of a whistleblower complaint by the Zionist Advocacy Center.
