New York, NY – Lev Leviev, known for his wealth and philanthropy, volunteered misleading information regarding the destination of his charitable donations.

On December 28th, 2007, Lifestyles Magazine conducted an interview with the philanthropist Leviev. During the interview, several organizations were mentioned as recipients of donations from Leviev, among them Oxfam-US. The donation to Oxfam was also noted in profile pieces and other interviews with Leviev
Oxfam released a statement on the 13th of January 2008, stating that the organization maintains no connection whatsoever with Leviev. The statement, signed by Alex Renton of Oxfam-Great Britain and Adrienne Smith of Oxfam America, asserts that: “Contrary to various citations, Lev Leviev is not a donor to Oxfam America and has never been one. To the best of our knowledge Mr. Leviev has not been a donor to Oxfam or any of its affiliates. Oxfam International is an organization of 13 national affiliates working in 100 countries, and we are checking thoroughly whether any Oxfam has had any relationship with Mr. Leviev.”
The statement goes on to explain that “Oxfam’s policies on donations are clear. We do not accept donations from businesses involved in illegal activities, or operating in occupied territory, including settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.”
i googled oxfam. they (supposedly)are an organization that fights poverty and “injustice”. sounds like another antisemetic “unicef” to me.
With a statement like that, I would HOPE that he didn’t, doesn’t, and will not ever give them money. Leviev is an honest guy, and supports Torah mosdos and organiz. that support ALL of E”Y, including Yesha
OX-FAM, really, is an acronym (rushei teivos) for OXI-MORON (mehuggeneh Oxen), FArMishteh. B”H, that MR. Leviev’s money, that supports so much TORAH and Yiddishkeit does not go to support such murderous sympathizers of the murderous Palestinians. Let the axis of evil (i.e. Nat. K., Iran and other vermin) support them.
Something does not make sense here. Leviev does not talk nonsense nor does he lie. Did anyone ask him about this?
It’s well known in the UK that Oxfam supports Palestinian terrorists; we knew that 30 years ago.
This sounds like an error on the part of Lifestyles.
thank gd
he did not give them money
lev leviev is a tzadik of a yid for all the good he is doing with his money
and i am sure he has enough sechel to know where and to whom to give
With such outright hate it would be hard to believe that any jew in his right mind would be their donor.
