By JONATHAN COOK, in Nazareth
CounterPunch
Israeli peace activists are planning to ratchet up their campaign against groups in the United States that raise money for settlers by highlighting how tax exemptions are helping to fund the expansion of illegal settlements in the West Bank.

Gush Shalom, a small peace group that advocates Israel’s withdrawal from the occupied territories, is preparing to send details to the US tax authorities questioning the charitable status of several organisations.

    No matter what, the Jewish population in the liberated territories will continue to grow rapidly.

    Even through the Arabs' terrorist war from 2000, the population grew at 5-6%
