Far right get a kicking

Im tirzu, the fascist Israeli group, has lost it's main sponsor, John hagee, the American evangelist who said hitler was a godsend.

m Tirtzu, the organization that threatened Ben-Gurion University with a donor boycott because of their "anti-Zionist" bias, has lost at lease one funding source over the highly publicized row.

The spokesman for Christians United for Israel (CUFI), a U.S. based pro-Israel organization run by Pastor John Hagee, hinted to Haaretz on Monday that they will no longer give money to Im Tirtzu. The potential funding cutoff will be a big change from the 100,000 dollars that CUFI donated to Im Tirtzu in 2009.

Goes around, comes around. Maybe the Jewish agency will also withdraw funding from Im tirzu.
