Lawrence
Kadish, a high-powered real estate investor, is a key financial
backer of a number of hardline advocacy outfits, including the Center
for Security Policy and Americans for Victory over Terrorism. In
2001, Kadish was listed as one of the Republican Party's top donors,
giving some $500,000 during the 2000 presidential election campaign.
He is also a founding member of the Republican Jewish Coalition,
which according to Mother Jones "has supported a hard-line
approach to negotiating an Israeli-Palestinian peace accord, criticizing
President Clinton for 'appeasing Chairman Arafat' instead of requiring
'responsibility and compliance from the Palestinian Authority.'
Allied with Israel's Likud government, the group supported the construction
of the controversial Har Homa settlement in East Jerusalem, over
Palestinian objections that the project jeopardized the peace process.
It also supports continued American military support of Israel,
including a recent project to build an anti-ballistic missile system."

Encouraged and supported by Mr. Kadish, these two institutions have sought to strengthen democracy and encourage pluralism in the Middle East and around the globe. Mr. Kadish has been a supporter of the Investigative Project, which conducted a strategic review of world wide terrorism and cautioned Americans on the eve of September 11th that systematic terrorism was threatening our nation's security.
