Summary/Abstract |
Recently there has been a great deal of talk about visions and alternative visions of the world and the values involved in each vision.1 Obviously it is important for us to see clearly the various visions of the world. But the picture is quite murky and there is really no end to history, and there will be no conquering of one vision over another anytime soon. In the meantime, it is more important for us to be good decision-makers in any vision of the world that we find ourselves in, or choose to live in. To illustrate, if we are capitalists, we'd better be good capitalist decision-makers; if we are socialists, we'd better be good socialist decision-makers.

Summary/Abstract |
Israel has long sought to erase Palestinians, Palestinian resistance, and Palestinian organizations. In Israel’s latest rendition of erasure, Palestinian nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have become the new target. By labeling NGO staff, and now NGOs, as “terror-affiliated,” Israel is attempting to silence these organizations by making it impossible for them to be funded. Looking at the case of Mohammed El Halabi from World Vision, one can see that it does not take much for donors to run scared: just using the “t” word is sufficient, with no need for evidence.

Summary/Abstract |
Throughout its history, World Vision (WV), a multi-billion dollar relief, development and advocacy agency that promotes child welfare in poor countries throughout the world, has used images and stories of suffering and dying children to solicit donations. When it did so during the Ethiopian famine of 1984 and 1985, this practice met with criticism.
