Would you lie for $7 million? KAIROS would.

Yesterday I wrote that KAIROS, the anti-Israel NGO that had a $7 million funding application turned down by the Conservative government, was scrubbing its website of evidence of its anti-Israel activities and connections.

Today, someone identifying himself as Nik Beeson, KAIROS's webmaster, left a comment denying it.

So let me prove to you that KAIROS is scrubbing their website after the fact.

Here's a small proof.

Take this page, called "resources for education and action". As you can see, there is now a prominent disclaimer at the top of the page that disowns the more radical "resources" linked to on the page, implying that KAIROS does not actually agree with what it's propagating.

Now look at that same page, caught on Google cache two months ago, before KAIROS had its funding cut. No disclaimer.

That sort of after-the-fact editing is rife on KAIROS's website.

They're trying to scrub evidence of their anti-Israel animosity. They're trying to come up with an alibi, by fudging the record.

Dear reader, let me ask you a question: if KAIROS isn't ashamed of the ant-Israel "resources" it linked to, if it's not embarrassed by what it was promoting, if there was nothing wrong with what they were doing, then why is Nik scrubbing his site?

Put another way, if KAIROS has nothing to hide, then why is it hiding it?

Or another way: doesn't KAIROS know that by making such after-the-fact changes, and then sending young Nik to lie about it, it just makes them look guilty as hell? Don't they know that undermines their righteous indignation that they've done nothing wrong? If they've done nothing wrong, then why is Nik fixing it?

Friends, if someone told me that I could get $7 million for lying about my website, and making some changes to it, I admit I'd be pretty tempted to do it.

KAIROS thinks that by lying about its record -- by engaging in a little revisionist history -- they might just get their $7 million after all.

But I think their behaviour only confirms the wisdom of cutting off these buffoons, don't you?
