"Kars4Kids funnels money to the IDF" will make a fine addition to my collection of crazy sounding but actually true things I can scream at people from the side of the road.

acknowledging the existence of Fivish is anti-semetic

The organization that created that mascot, Oorah, which is also funded by Kars4Kids apparently ran summer camps where this happened:

In the summer of 2007, 31 undocumented workers doing work for a subcontractor at Oorah's summer camp were arrested in a raid by ICE and local law enforcement.

Very on brand for Zionists.

It does certainly feel like it

I do remember learning that lovely little fact (kars4kids being a front for laundering money for the entity) from TrueAnon a while back. I just looked it up and its episode 477 if anyone is curious. The thing I'm shocked to hear at this point is that a court in the US actually ruled against them. Obviously this means California is antisemitic.

Another benefit of California: not having to hear that annoying ear-worm zionist jingle.

The existence of fiveish means you basically can't accuse the average gentile of antisemitism. Like there's nothing I can say or do that rivals that.

What is kars4kids? Because if its what it sounds like, Its a really Bad idea nontheless

I work with children (7-14) and am currently in driving school (European that is, so we actually learn to drive)

In both of them, the first thing they tell us is „children cannot be trusted without a guardian. you give them a jumping rope, they will hang themselves. You give them nothing? They will eat some poisonous plant off the ground.

This, but they have multi ton vehicles is simply diabolical

It's a "charity" we heard a lot of around here because it had a really catchy radio jingle that would play during all the commercial breaks of radio stations.

It would advertise you donating your old car you're not using anymore and they would use the money to help children, in some vague way.

I remember I discovered this forever ago deciding to randomly search them on Wikipedia and was really surprised by what I found. See, what they didn't say in their catchy commercials is it was some Jewish organization and they would use the money to fund things like kids' birthright trips (where they brainwash you about how great Israel is), Jewish schools, and apparently (I'm just learnimg now?) the IDF lol.

It was basically for people to donate their vehicles to them, under the premise that the money would be funding at-risk youth or whatever you want to call it. After they receive the car, they part it out or sell it and use that money for their activities.

But the money exclusively went to a few orthodox zionist communities in New Jersey (IIRC), where they regularly auctioned off tickets to isntreal.

They had an annoying ass jingle that would play on the radio every 10 minutes it felt like, and it was across the nation so everyone knew about them, but didn't know where the money was actually going
