Australia and Germany have already halted their contributions to World Vision. They've worked with the Israelis enough to trust that these allegations against the charity are more than likely true.

I realize that Israel haters, BDS'ers, and anti-semites believe Jews lie all the time - and especially Israelis - but reasonable objective people who know anything about Israel know this would be one helluva stupid bluff & very bad for Israeli PR if the allegations are nothing but a hoax.
