Your charity dollars at work: JNF paying $500K for Bill Clinton to come to Peres' birthday party

And you thought they planted trees.... The Jewish National Fund is paying $500,000 to the Bill Clinton Foundation so that Bill will come to Israel to celebrate Shimon Peres' 90th birthday.

The Jewish National Fund (Keren Kayemet Leyisrael) will pay former U.S. President Bill Clinton $500,000 in return for his coming to Israel to give a speech at a gala evening in Rehovot, and at a JNF event.
