Publishing Israpundit is a full time job for me and has been for 13 years. My time is spent searching for the best articles I can find on sites in Israel the US or the EU. I also spend considerable time moderating the comments and attending to technical problems. Occasionally I write articles which are published by American Thinker, Canada Free Press, Israel National News and others, in addition to Israpundit.
In addition I attend conferences and lectures weekly to keep informed and to network.
This year has been particularly difficult as my host server was illegally entered and my former domain name stolen. Luckily I was able to purchase a new domain, israpundit.org, and reconstitute the site. Of course I couldn’t have done it without employing my technical expert. If that wasn’t enough, I had to retain a new host server to host my email program and mailing list. A few months later this host server crashed and all was lost. Luckily my technical expert who set it up for me was able to set me up on another host server.
Needless to say, it all costs money.
Many people tell me that they look forward to receiving my Daily Digests and very much appreciate the message I am delivering.
I invite you to be a partner in delivering that message by making a donation, large of small. It will help to defray my costs, ease my financial burden and ensure the continuance of Israpundit. Use the donate buttons under the banner above.
Checks may be sent payable to Theodore Belman, Hagdud Haivri #1, Jerusalem, 92344, ISRAEL.
@ Ted Belman:
It is said a man is known by his enemies.
I am under attack again. The hacker has screwed with my paypal buttons so I removed them. They are OK on the newsletter. The hacker also obliterated the Right Column. I’ll keep you posted.
@ Steve Smyser:
There are 3 Paypal buttons just above that have the correct address namely tbelman3@gmail.com
The buttons at the top of the Left Column had the wrong address namely tedbelman90@gmail.com
See if your paypal guy can correct it. I am doing the same from this end.
I am try to figure out where the money from these donate buttons has gone.
@ Ted Belman:
Ted, I’m glad you found the problem. I checked all the transactions from 2011 to today. All the previous donations had gone to the correct account. Just check to be certain that no other donations have gone to the wrong mailing address.
Well, everything is ready for THANKSGIVING. “Happy THANKSGIVING” to you and all the participants in this blog.
I know Canadians have a different date for Thanksgiving but
you can celebrate with us. You are all welcome.
Ted I have talked by phone to Paypal – I do believe they have the wrong email address for you – please send to me the email address you want to use for these transactions – thanks – hope to have this cleared up in a day or so. – Steve
@ mar55:tHIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFO. I found the problem and have to wait until tomorrow to correct it. Thanks.
@ Ted Belman:
After I spoke to you this morning, I contacted my Paypal account. Every transaction is in order and they told me You had to contact Paypal from your side. I sent it through your Paypal button that says DONATE at the left side of your website. The one I pressed says US. Paypal sent the payment to your email address of tedbelman90@gmail.com You have to contact Paypal and let them know the money went to the wrong
account. On this side every transaction is correct because I checked it against my credit card statement every transaction and every single one matches. I have received the merchandise of every payment I made.
Ask Steve to go to his Papal account. http://www.Paypal.com and check to see if they did sent it to the same address as mine.
Contact Paypal on your side.
@ Steve Smyser:
Steve that ID # is not from my account. It is probably from your Paypal account. Please contact your Paypal account and get particulars of who the money went to. Mar 55 sent me a transaction letter and it showed the money as going to my account but with the email tedbelman90@gmail.com I never got it.
Ted I hope you got my donation. On the receipt it says
This credit card transaction will appear on your bill as “PAYPAL *TBELMAN3.
Please confirm…..thanks!
@ mar55:You sent me the details but I have no record of receiving the money. The email for me on your transaction confirmation is tedbelman90@gmail.com
I never use this email so something is odd.
Wyhich paypal button did you use? The one on the site or on the email though they are the same.
also Ted, I have this unique transaction I D #2VH77446J69904N from Paypal maybe you can check from your end also – thanks Steve
