The Red Cross' War Against the Jews

The Red Cross is waging a “soft war” against Israel and the Jews. In 2001 Rene Kosirnik, head of the International Red Cross’s delegation to Israel, called the Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria a “war crime”.

The organization is serving as a mouthpiece for Palestinian propaganda against Israel on a variety of issues, including Israel’s security barrier aimed at preventing suicide attacks - and the blood libel of the 2002 battle in the Jenin refugee camp that the Red Cross described as a “massacre” (independent investigators subsequently found that no massacre was committed, rather 11 Israeli soldiers died in house to house fighting with terrorists because the IDF refrained from having the area strafed - this to avoid civilian casualties despite having warned residents to leave).

A case in point is how the Red Cross allocates budgets worldwide.

For all of North Africa, the Red Cross has one office in Tunis.

For “Israel/Occupied Territories/Autonomous Territories,” the Red Cross has offices in Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus, Kalkilya, Ramallah, Jericho, Bethlehem, Hebron, Gaza, Khan Yunis, Majdel Shams, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv.

During the Second Intifada, Red Crescent ambulances commonly served as “Trojan horses” to transport terrorists and weaponry through the "West Bank" and Gaza, although Article 44 of the First Geneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field (1949) clearly states, “… the emblem of the Red Cross on a white ground … may not be employed, either in time of peace or in time of war, except to indicate or to protect the medical units and establishments…”.

Last year the east Jerusalem office of the Red Cross became the de facto headquarters of Hamas terrorists.

Red Cross officials were all over the Gaza war in 2009, describing it as a “humanitarian nightmare”. But where were they when tens of thousands of Israeli families could not sleep for fear of a rocket attack? Where were their trauma experts to decry that humanitarian crisis?

In the more than five years that Gilad Shalit was held prisoner in Gaza, the Red Cross filed one request to see him.

A booklet published by the Red Cross in 1947 argued that “aid to the Jews, like that to the civilian deportees, rested on no juridical basis” in international law, in contrast to aid to prisoners of war. Therefore the Red Cross did not have “the shadow of a pretext to intervene” for the Jews during the war.

Rather than alerting the world, the Red Cross lied to international public opinion.

After the war, the Red Cross was a major conduit for Nazis to escape Europe, including Adolf Eichmann. The Red Cross provided passports, for example, to the commandants of Treblinka and Sobibor concentration camps, and enabled Alois Brunner, Eichmann’s assistant, to escape to Damascus.

During the war, the Red Cross failed miserably to help Jewish inmates of concentration camps. The Red Cross was reluctant to investigate gas chambers, massacres, brutality and human-rights abuses. When it did visit some of the camps, its reports whitewashed Nazi atrocities.
Amidst a carefully created mirage, three foreign observers -- two from the Red Cross -- toured the ghastly Czech ghetto of Theresienstadt and left with the impression that the Jews there were “happy”, “healthy” and not headed for Hitler’s extermination camps.

Once again, it is apparent nothing has changed, be it the Red Cross or other institutions touting humanitarian aid. Well, especially when it comes to Jews/Israelis, whether in the past or the present; needless to say, tomorrow.

The Red Cross should change its name to Red Crescent entirely and get it over with.
Too tired to get into details, but look at their policies.

Anything with a cross is sacred to us Christians, for Jesus Himself was a Jew...don't forget.

why dont you focus on the actions of the christians against the jews throughout the centuries, instead of saying jesus was a jew.
actions speak louder than words my friend.

I agree wholeheartedly JerichoMissile. This said, I try not to lump everyone in the same ball of refuse, it causes me, most I believe, to lose perspective and perhaps objectivity. Yes, many Christians have and remain Jew bashers, calling Jews Christ-killers but not all. I, too, sometimes question the motives of some evangelicals but not to the point where paranoia sets in.

Relations between the two faiths have evolved in many cases. Yes, there is the old faction that continues upon the anti-Semitic path but there are those whose backing of Israel are sincere and without cynical motivation. I do, however, choose to remain vigilant.
