1. The Red "Cross" says everything
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.26.11)
It is a symbol of oppression equal to that of the swastika for Jews. The number of Jews murdered in the name of Christianity is every bit the equal of the Nazis.
2. the NGO people have evidently never
meghan ,   israel   (11.26.11)
visited an Israeli hospital. Do the except the "red cresent"!!! (islamic red cross!)
3. #1 Difamation
Gregg ,   Haifa IL   (11.26.11)
Shut up or I'm gonna sue you for difamation! It's very popular lately
4. everybody has to pay for his/her sins
tiki ,   belgium   (11.26.11)
So will the Red Cross, Docters without borders and all the other 'medical NGO's. The world is in crisis, money flows & private donations will stop and all these anti semitic, double faced good-doers will have to stop their propaganda wars. In the end, the truth always prevails somehow, also the discusting lies of these "humanistic organisations. In the end people will beg to be safed by Magen David Adom and it's great caring dokters.
5. Agree
Dan ,   Germany   (11.26.11)
Being from the Nations and a Follower of the Jewish Yeshua I can only agree. Christianity has Brought Great Surffering on the jewish People.
6. Israel should sue these NGOs
Hannah ,   Ny   (11.26.11)
Thank you Meotti
7. Antisemites
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (11.26.11)
Does the Muslim "Crescent" bother them as much? If they have made positive statements about that as opposed to the "MDA", then suit can be brought against them for slander. Really, just why do we need to be part of their "organization"? WHy is the Magen David red? Why not make it blue and tell them to piss up a rope.
8. Then stop using Israeli expertise
steve from raleigh   (11.26.11)
Israel should demand they stop using Israeli expertise. They should be forced to sign a pledge to boycott all Israeli medical technology of all kinds.
9. I wonder if this report will be in other media
Arnold ,   Canada   (11.26.11)
For the sake of New York City taxpayers I wish the UN building to be empty of people and to be razed to the ground. The most valuable asset of the United Nations building in Manhattan is the real estate it is built on.
10. Doctors Without Borders
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (11.26.11)
Maybe we should take them up on their idea: They charge that Israeli authorities are “depriving Gazans of critical medicare.” Give 'em Medicare, or better yet, Obamacare! That'll finish them off without a bullet being fired!
11. why using red cross only, if Lebanon has also red crescent
observer ,   Egypt   (11.26.11)
12. The irony
John Q. ,   Miami, Florida   (11.26.11)
Neutral, fair, impartial...funny words used by Israel.
13. democracy... they still forbid Mogen Dovid
Miron ,   USA   (11.26.11)
14. red Cross
sharona ,   Sydney, Australia   (11.26.11)
That is precisely why I will not donate to the Red Cross anywhere in the world.No matter what. They can go to hell.
15. Rabbis for Human Rights, why don't you act here?! And,
Adam Smith   (11.26.11)
why do some Jews abroad claim to be Jewish yet continue to support such groups that instead of standing for the human rights of Jews, sell their souls and sustain those who are silent about the human rights of Jews?
16. They object to the Star of David.
Devorah   (11.26.11)
So, will someone explain: 1. International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies 2. National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies These good-for-nothings have an antisemitic agenda and should be thrown out of Israel.
17. Red Cross
Salim Varese ,   Chattanooga   (11.26.11)
Equating the Star of David to the swastica is in it of itself sick.
18. Force the Red Cross to use a "double cross"
Scott ,   USA   (11.26.11)
By the way, the bastards are still hiding two Hamas men in their Jerusalem hq.
19. Good paper Giulio!
Yossef   (11.26.11)
20. Biased article
Dan ,   NY,NY   (11.26.11)
some of the Red Cross positions might be not so neutral, but there is a reason for that, the grave injustice they see on first hand on the ground surely contributes to that. what this articl fails to mention is the hundreds of Palestinian women who had to deliver their babies at checkpoints some of whom died there and then...the army protecting settlers while they are torturing palestininan children, the Israeli prisons's master schemes of torture that is hard to prove, the prisoners' deprivation of basic medical care, and ...and...and...the list goes on frever.. Then you expect the ICRC people to feel sorry for you not for the victims!!!!
21. Theresienstadt
Udi ,   Haifa   (11.26.11)
The Red Cross visited Theresienstadt during WW2 and reported that Jews were treated well. What do you expect from this evil organisation today?
22. @ #1 : The Red "Cross" says everything.
Desse A Verdade ,   Lisbon Portugal   (11.26.11)
I'm sorry for you that you're so angry. I know Jews who lost all their families WW2 and young men who had nothing left but to fight the Nazi's. Hitler and the mass delusion that ensued has less to do with Jesus Christ and the cross and more to do with humanity gone wrong when people use religion as a political tool. What's changed is the mass communications medium and its ability to influence. News was called propaganda then and rightly so.The Red Cross has a lot of pseudo-scientific intellectuals who are atheistic in nature and see all religions as the source of conflicts. Personally, I seek the source of intent in people’s hearts and judge not till they show their true colors. As a legal entity and organization the Red Cross has shown theirs. But you can't judge all that belong to it thus, only the charter of their operations. I do recall that Jesus was a Jew and beautiful one at that. Last I checked Hitler wasn’t even a practicing Christian. I dare say that he was neither the first leader nor the last to profess publicly of belonging to a religious denomination because of the favor it garnered with the public. Incidentally, the swastika is an occult symbol of astrological power with origins in the Hindu tradition. Which tells you a lot about Hitler’s beliefs and aspirations. For those curious, the Swastika represents the motion of the stars across the sky down on earth. When used the way Hitler used it, it denotes one whom the universe revolves around. Very apt given his Psychopathy. Hardly someone who looked to the heavens and saw GOD.
23. MDA sold their soul
john Tango ,   usa   (11.26.11)
And yet the MDA has sold our Religous identity and took the Star of David off some of the ambalances. Why?
24. a great article
Phil ,   Amsterdam   (11.26.11)
Let's hope enough people use their social media links to spread articles like this one. Knowledge is power.
25. Nazis killed Jews, and now Jews kill Palestinians
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.26.11)
And you want neutrality?
26. resistance
Ben ,   Russia   (11.26.11)
boycott Jews who " do not notice" Jew-hate, they are collaborators!
27. Medical NGO's
InfantryVeteran ,   Johnson City, TN   (11.26.11)
Why do the ICRC, Physicians for Human Rights, Médecins Sans Frontières, the WHO, and others repeatedly condemn Israel? (Hint: it's not anti-Semitism)
28. War of communication
Alberto ,   Milano, Italy   (11.26.11)
Provided that this situation persists since a long time, maybe Israel should learn to communicate better and more on the subject, not only to US but also to Europe where prejudice is high, instead to complain about on its newspapers...
29. Israel allows this to happen
David ,   Montpelier   (11.26.11)
The IRC should be expelled from Israel. If the Israeli government had any courage it would throw the IRC out, as well as the BBC!
30. Israel Doctors calls it nonsence
Daoud Kuttab   (11.26.11)
Just spoke to a well respected Israeli doctor and asked him what he thinks of this article he said " it is a mixture of facts, propaganda, fallacies and nonsense"
