“The difference between World Vision’s approach to violence in Syria and Israel is so stark that it is impossible to believe that the people who run the organization from their offices in Federal Way, Washington do not see what is happening. People like Kevin Jenkins, the organization’s international president, simply do not get put in charge of multibillion-dollar charities without knowing what is happening in the organization’s they lead.”

If you give money to World Vision, a multibillion-dollar Christian aid and development agency, whose U.S. affiliate is headquartered in Federal Way, Washington, there’s something you need to know.

The organization, which does great work promoting the welfare of children throughout the world is also a major player in the campaign to demonize Israel, the Jewish state.

Don’t believe me?

Take a look at the organization’s website and see for yourself. In particular, you need to see World Vision’s differential approach to dealing with the impact of violence on children in the Middle East.

When it comes to Syria, the organization talks about the suffering children endure as a result of that country’s civil war in a non-political and non-polemical manner.

It describes and laments the suffering inflicted on children in Syria but omits any reference to the perpetrators. It does not name and shame the perpetrators in any way.

About the only thing you will learn about the civil war in Syria from World Vision materials is that it began in 2011, harms children and that World Vision needs money to help these children. Fair enough.

World Vision takes a decidedly different approach, however, when it comes to dealing with the suffering of children in Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza.

When publicizing its work in these areas, World Vision rarely misses an opportunity to blame Israel for the suffering it confronts. Interestingly enough, World Vision materials rarely make any mention, of the role Hamas has played in putting children in danger.
