The JTA&#8217;s report is clearly based on these two posts.<\/p>\n<p>The JTA skips all mention of the involvement of Chabad&#8217;s national prison outreach organization, the Aleph Institute, and skips all mention of Chabad&#8217;s attempt to <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/failedmessiah.typepad.com\/failed_messiahcom\/2008\/11\/breaking-chab-1.html\" target=\"_blank\">cover up its fundraising for Rubashkin<\/a><\/strong> (in part because it is using tax deductible donations for Rubashkin&#8217;s legal defense), and totally misses the story of Chabad&#8217;s failure to help the <strong><em>victims<\/em><\/strong> of Rubashkin&#8217;s alleged crimes &ndash; victims who are overwhelmingly non-Jews.<\/p>\n<p>It also did not check with legal experts or the IRS to see if Chabad&#8217;s use of tax deductible donations is legal. Chabad is using this tax deductible money in part to <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/failedmessiah.typepad.com\/failed_messiahcom\/2008\/12\/the-talking-poi.html\" target=\"_blank\">advocate for and protect a private for-profit business<\/a><\/strong>.  And the &quot;fund&quot; Shea Hecht mentions itself is comprised of tax deductible donations.<\/p>\n<p>The JTA also fails to mention that the Aleph Institute started its legal defense fund <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/failedmessiah.typepad.com\/failed_messiahcom\/2008\/11\/breaking-chab-1.html\" target=\"_blank\">exactly at the same time it began accepting donations for Rubashkin<\/a><\/strong>, and that all money donated to that fund was used for Rubashkin &ndash; in other words, this &quot;legal defense fund&quot; was really the &quot;Rubashkin legal defense fund,&quot; and Aleph has no real history of raising money to defend accused criminals.<\/p>\n<p>Aleph&#8217;s role in this affair may even jeopardize its access to federal prisons. But the JTA doesn&#8217;t explore the issue, either.<\/p>\n<p>Also note this graph, where the JTA seriously downplays the facts:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Prosecutors claimed that a travel bag with money, silver coins and passports were found in Rubashkin&#8217;s home and that &#8212; partly because Israel&#8217;s Law of Return grants Jews automatic citizenship &#8212; the former plant manager posed a risk of flight.&hellip; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/failedmessiah.typepad.com\/failed_messiahcom\/2008\/12\/breaking-youtub.html\">Failed Messiah reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>This is one of the videos banned by YouTube and then, as you&#8217;ll see below, reinstated after viewer and blogger pressure:<\/p>\n<p><object height=\"344\" width=\"425\"><param value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/qG0CzM_Frvc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1\" name=\"movie\" \/><param value=\"true\" name=\"allowFullScreen\" \/><param value=\"always\" name=\"allowscriptaccess\" \/><embed height=\"344\" width=\"425\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/qG0CzM_Frvc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>What you see are Hamas operatives loading Grad missiles onto a truck.
