State Dept. Says Taxpayers' Money not Used in V-15 Campaign

The U.S. State Dept. said Thursday the American government used to fund the left-wing OneVoice group that is campaigning against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu but that no grants were given after last November.

Spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters, "The U.S. Government grant to OneVoice Israel was for $233,500. The duration of this grant, as I mentioned yesterday but just to reconfirm, was from September 23rd, 2013 through November 30th, 2014.

" No payment was made to OneVoice after November 2014."

The grant was for a project "to support a two-state solution," she said.

Concerning allegations that the State Dept. is funding a campaign to dump Netanyahu, she said, "No. It’s an absolutely false report. The reports were stemming from inaccurate reporting – and a lack of reporting, perhaps I should say, on this grant that I’ve given you many details on."

The question remains why the U.S.  government has to grant organizations money to promote the "two-state solution."

Apparently, it wants to share the failure with others.
