The director of the Gaza branch of World Vision diverted the humanitarian organization’s funds and resources from the needy to benefit Hamas’ terrorist and military activities.
Introduction:
El-Halabi employed a sophisticated and systematic apparatus for transferring World Vision funds [60% of the charity’s annual budget, according to El-Halabi] to Hamas.
He established and promoted humanitarian projects and fictitious agricultural associations that acted as cover for the transfer of monies to Hamas. Examples of these projects and associations include: greenhouse construction; restoration of agricultural lands; mental health and public health projects for Gaza residents; aid to fishermen; a treatment center for the physically and mentally disabled; and farmers’ associations. All of these projects and associations were used to transfer funds to Hamas.

· 60% of World Vision’s annual budget for the Gaza Strip was diverted by Hamas operative Mohammed El-Halabi to Hamas (approximately $7.2 million/year).
· Monies designated for the needy in Gaza ($4 million/year) were diverted to Hamas for the construction of terror tunnels and the purchase of weapons.
Terrorist/military projects build with World Vision funds

I would be checking up if that far left wing Jewish group Stand Up [ formerly Jewish Aid] funnels any of their donations via World Vision it wouldn’t surprise me at all >
I have met the CEO Gary Samowitz and he didn’t come across as a leftist.
Are you sure?
It is not just that El-Halibi cheated World Vision, but he cheated his fellow Arabs. He diverted funds and supplies from the needy to his support base. This sort of callousness and corruption is typical of mohammedan societies. But World Vision is also at fault; it must have been deliberately blind not to see that the people it portrays as serving were being cheated as were the people who funded it. And through all this, World Vision sides with the Arabs against Jews. I had a low opinion of World Vision for some time because of its anti-Israel bias. After this they join the many loony left, rabid right and islamofascist gangs for which I have nothing but disgust and contempt.
