“We can finally identify one of the largest holders of Puerto Rican debt,” The Intercept headlined its expose of American financier Seth Klarman on Tuesday after Klarman’s Boston company (https://theintercept.com/2017/10/03/we-can-finally-identify-one-of-the-largest-holders-of-puerto-rican-debt/) disclosed its Puerto Rican investments. Reporter David Dayen linked the Puerto Rican credit with some of Klarman’s political activity.
We’ve reported on the fact that Klarman’s foundation gives a ton of money to liberal causes.
(That was in 2011; but filings show that pattern continued thru 2014).

Seth Klarman is also passionate about Israel. He is the money behind the Israel Project (http://mondoweiss.net/2013/11/palestinian-billionaire-repressive/), a neoconservative propaganda group; MEMRI, a translation service for Arabic sources on Palestine that fosters Islamophobia; the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (a neoconservative thinktank); CAMERA, the pro-Israel media hounds; Birthright, to the tune of $1.5 million a year (the program to get young Jews, and only Jews, to Israel so they will support it); Israel on Campus Coalition (fighting BDS, or boycott); the David Project, which also fights for Israel on campuses; the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, a pro-Israel group, and so on. He also supports (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_Klarman) the Times of Israel.

Hopefully Kushner would not let President Trump wipe him out. Israel is probably the closest US ally in mideast after Saudi Arabia (even if neither one of our top two closest allies sent troops to frontlines in Afghanistan,Iraq,Syria or Libya to stand with America in our our of need/global wars).
