UJA and JCRC Leaders Are Supporting Anti-Israel Activities. Ronn Torossian http://www.algemeiner.com/2015/02/23/uja-and-jcrc-leaders-are-supporting-anti-israel-activities/
The reason that NIF is allowed to participate in the parade is clear – JCRC and UJA have two leaders who are major supporters of the NIF’s radical agenda.
Alisa Robbins Doctoroff, President of the UJA-Federation of New York is one of the most high-profile Jewish leaders in the United States. She is also a radical left-winger, who supports agendas that are well outside of the consensus of 99% of the Jewish community. Doctoroff is a donor to NIF. From funding anti-Israel reports at the United Nations to its recent advocacy for terrorists and their families who killed Jews in Jerusalem while praying,
....
The other key player ensuring NIF participates in the parade is JCRC leader Karen R. Adler, who is also a donor to New Israel Fund. While she served as President of the Jewish Communal Fund, she also signed an open letter to New York’s Mayor saying that “the needs and concerns of many of your constituents–U.S. Jews like us among them–are not aligned with those of AIPAC, and that no, your job is not to do AIPAC’s bidding when they call you to do so. AIPAC speaks for Israel’s hard-line government and its right-wing supporters, and for them alone; it does not speak for us.”
Adler is also a board member of the Israel Policy Forum, a radical organization, that “…helped convince President Obama to adopt its Middle East Roadmap, basically the Saudi Initiative (Israel’s return to the 1949 Armistice lines, evacuation of all settlements, and the incorporation of Arab refugees and their descendents into Israel – in return for “normal relations).” While time has passed and the road-map is behind us, Adler is co-opting an organization that represents Jewish interests across a broad spectrum with her personal viewpoints.

It's not only about the Israel Day Parade.
New Israel Fund CEO is lobbying Netanyahu not to speak in front of Congress re: Iran. Apparently we are offending the President of the USA since he wasn't properly informed...
No matter that Iran nuclear armament is an existential threat to Israel and a danger to the entire region. http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2015/02/tzc-newsletter-february-20-2015-rosh.html
"The prime minister and [Israeli] Ambassador [to Washington Ron] Dermer need to understand that they made a mistake when they put the Jewish community in a corner," said Daniel Sokatch, CEO of the New Israel Fund, an organization supporting progressive causes in Israel. "Putting the community in a position in which it has to choose between Israel and the president is a lose-lose situation."

Shift in funding strategy is meant to push back against right wing extremism in Israel.

I suppose protecting the rights of terrorists, protecting their homes etc. and providing for their legal defense is part of the NIF agenda and promoting the expulsion of Jews from their homes in Judea and Samaria is as well.

If you agree that NIF does not belong at the Israel Day Parade, then contact the head of the JCRC, Michael Miller at millerm@jcrcny.org and Michael Mittelman at mittelmanm@jcrcny.org.
New Israel Fund (NIF):
a group that hurts the Jewish State, funds legal efforts that seek to place the rights of the terrorists over the victims who were killed http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4598738,00.html while praying in Jerusalem, and has called Israel "racist" and "murderous."
...
I did some additional research about NIF and how dangerous they are to Israel fyi.Israel's Economic Minister, MK Naftali Bennett noted, "The NIF works methodically and consistently to attack our Israeli soldiers, accuse them of war crimes of torturing Palestinians and intentionally attacking women and children. They turn to the UN and to the committees that are most hostile to Israel and try their best to convince them that Israel is a war criminal."
NIF provides funding for Hamoked and Yesh Din which provides defense for the terrorists and their families!
Please read in this Mondoweiss journal article about the legality of punitive demolitions of the homes of the families of the Har Nof Terrorists.
For the first time Israel's high court wrestles with legality of punitive home demolitions - http://mondoweiss.net/2014/12/legality-punitive-demolitions

NIF-FUNDED NGOS: GOLDSTONE'S BUILDING BLOCKS
NGO MonitorFebruary 09, 2010 http://www.ngo-monitor.org/article/nif_funded_ngos_goldstone_s_building_blocks
In the past, Israel and by extension, the IDF has accepted the 2 State Solution in principle and acted with misplaced compassion on our enemy to prevent "civilian" casualties at the expense of our own soldiers and defense . This is done in spite of the enemy hiding behind schools, medical centers and human shields. By being merciful to the cruel we end up compromising the security of our own children and citizens. Israel is then vilified and accused of fabricated, monstrous atrocities and war crimes. RememberJenin OPERATION DEFENSIVE SHIELD AND THE MYTH OF THE JENIN MASSACRE and Goldstone Report following Operation Cast Lead.
Let us compare how much lawyers like Andre Rosenthal who works for HaMoked are paid compared to Honenu lawyers http://honenu.org/ staffed often by volunteer lawyers.
Honenu is an Israeli Zionist legal aid organization which offers legal assistance to our people to protect and preserve their rights to receive a fair judicial process. We provide legal services to approximately 1000 arrestees a year. Soldiers and civilians who find themselves in legal entanglements due to defending themselves against Arab aggression, or due to their love for Israel, have an organization that will come to their aid 24 hours a day. In the Arab-Jewish conflict in Israel there are dozens of foreign funded organizations helping our enemies. We are there for those loyal to the Jewish people.
The fact of the matter is that Terrorists have it pretty good in Israel: They are rewarded with money, education, power, honor and even eternal blessings. Check out these links.

- They even get a degree PALESTINIANS EARN DEGREES WHILE IN ISRAELI JAIL http://bigstory.ap.org/article/palestinians-earn-degrees-while-israeli-jail
- often released and then receive a heroes welcome. Israelis React in Pain Over Release of Terrorists http://unitedwithisrael.org/israelis-react-in-pain-over-release-of-terrorists/

- families of martyrs are rewarded Terrorist 'Martyrs' Families to Receive Millions of Dollars. PA government encourages terrorists to trade their lives for their families' financial security - 74 million dollars' worth. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/178853#.VOVg_fnF8WJ

On the other hand, settler homes in Judea and Samaria have been demolished for not having a legal permit! Here we are debating the legality of demolishing the home of terrorists involved in the brutal butchering of worshipers in a synagogue while at the same time, Israel allows the cruel demolition of settlers homes because they lack the proper permit. How come this is happening? Funding from NGO's has something to do with this outrage.
Yes let's promote DEMOCRACY and Civil Rights for Jews living in Judea and Samaria who lead productive lives rather than talk of the human rights of terrorists, those intent on destroying innocent Israelis and/or residents of Israel.
Stop the arrest, provocation and vilification of Settler Youth of Judea and Samaria who witness homes cruelly demolished, and their Yeshiva taken over and their friends kidnapped.
If this surprises you please read about it and watch the heart wrenching videos! Trust me that I am not getting paid to raise awareness regarding this travesty of justice.

This is much bigger than a mere parade!!
But even if you argue that terrorists and their families need lawyers to defend them, after all they have human rights....
Do you really need to invite them to your special family getogethers while dissing your own family?
We don't want them at our parade!
The time has come to funnel Jewish money into legitimate Jewish Organizations who support a Jewish Israel!
Anyone out there ready to take on the challenge of mobilizing Jewish donors to direct monies towards authentic Jewish organizations rather than to organizations such as Jewish Federation which have become unrecognizable and indistinguishable as being Jewish?
