An Update Needed at WorldVision’s Website
WorldVision is one of several Christian NGO’s that peaceactivists in the West rely on for de-contextualized images and stories of Israelis behaving badly. As documented on CAMERA’s website, the organization’s website uses a distorted anti-Israel narrative to raise funds for its programming in the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.
Given WorldVision’s anti-Israel slant, it should not be a surprise that the organization has failed to update an antiquated report about the suffering of Palestinians area of the Gaza Strip. As of Dec. 22, 2008, the organization still displayed a page on its website reporting that “8,100 Palestinians residing in the Mawasi area are surrounded by 14 Israeli settlements.”
Israel pulled its citizens out of the Gaza Strip in 2005, but this page remains on WorldVision’s website more than three years after the withdrawal.
