Red Cross disgrace

The Red Cross have never liked Jews much. They ARE European, after all

"The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies have finally agreed to probably allow Magen David Adom (Israel's "Red Cross") into their club instead of being a simple observer.

For those of you unaware of the story, it basically goes as follows: The ICRC has never allowed Israel to be a full participating member because the Red Crescent states (Muslim states) were against it. They argued that not only was Israel a pariah state for Muslims, but that the red Star of David which Israel uses on their ambulances was offensive to Muslims. In fact, the former head of the ICRC a few years ago questioned the validity of ever allowing the Star of David into the ICRC as a symbol. As he put it, "If we're going to have the Shield of David, why would we not have to accept the swastika?"

I leave it to the reader how offensive that is to Jews around the world. In fact, it did cause a storm, but as usual, nothing much was made of it in the end because here we are, years later, and it is only now coming up as something which should finally be negotiated.

Well, you might all be surprised to learn that it was in fact agreed upon, and the agreement is simple: Israel will drop the Star of David for a nondescript and non-offensive diamond shape. Something which has nothing to do with Israel as far as anyone can tell, nothing to do with Jews, and nothing to do with history in any offensive way possible".
