arc, that was your prerogative. What if you won the prize from a mossad whom you don’t specifically support in their beliefs, but wanted to go to the auction because it is a good one. For example, let’s say it is a mossad who is strongly anti-Zionist, and you are avid Hapoel Hamizrachi. But they have terrific prizes, the fee is very reasonable for the tickets, and you have nothing to do, so you go to the auction. When you find to your pleasant surprise that you win, do you really have a chiyuv to give more money to a place that supports beliefs so alien to your own – or do you not have a right to support whatever Yeshivahs, aniyim fund, cause, you espouse as your own?
