A German charity for Lebanese orphans is a front organization raising funds for Hizbullah suicide bombers, according to a Brussels-based think tank.
Alexander Ritzmann, a senior fellow at The European Foundation for Democracy and author of a report on "Hizbullah's Fund-raising Organization in Germany," issued last month, said the Orphans Project Lebanon (Waisenkinderprojekt Libanon e.V.), situated in Göttingen, Lower Saxony, is "the German branch of a Hizbullah suborganization" which "promotes suicide bombings" and seeks to destroy Israel.
According to Ritzmann's 23-page analysis on the inner workings of Hizbullah in Germany, "financial donations to the Orphans Project Lebanon are tax deductible and are therefore subsidized by the German state."
When asked on Thursday about donors and donations to the Orphans Project, Ritzmann told The Jerusalem Post the tax authority declined to disclose information based on privacy laws. According to Ritzmann, the Orphans Project did not provide a yearly report on its activities.
