Was anybody surprised how quickly the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews updated their ads to reflect the ongoing situation in Ukraine?

It was truly hilarious to see Yael Eckstein (actually I don't think he appeared in this spot) -- and his female compatriot already renewing their very specific calls to help specific people. I think I actually conceived that this would happen (an updated IFoCJ ad) before it did, and when I saw it, it was hilarious. I'm not a psychic, I just know that /they/ never let a crisis go to waste...

I looked up their public filing once. She gets paid like 200 or 300,000 a year by the charity and they basically give all their money to another charity in Israel. What a job!

Run ads. Pay yourself a salary!

People think corruption is with politicians and government employees. I can tell you from decades of personal experience that political corruption is DWARFED by nonprofits and government contractors. Like easily by a factor of 100.

There's like a handful of Jews in Ukraine. A handful.

You know they go out into eastern Belarus or Moldova and find some remote, desolate, incredibly poor, unchanged since 1910 village and give some food and vodka to old peasant women and ask them to tell stories of their deceased relatives and get them crying for the camera. You know that's how they film these "hungry, elderly Jews are at risk in the cold winter!" commercials..
