Defund the International Red Cross Now!
Part 3 - Rachel, 14 More Hostages Have Returned To Your Borders
Yesterday evening, 14 hostages were returned to Israel. Fourteen individuals were held for fifty-two days under the worst conditions.
There was joy, all the way to the White House and President Biden when Avigil Idan, aged four, appeared on our screens in Israel. Hamas murdered her parents, and she was dragged into Gaza along with another mother and her two children.
Avigail, thanks to this mother, made it out. She immediately became a symbol for an entire nation. President Biden seemed beyond words when he spoke of her.
For Biden, Freeing Four-year-old Hostage Avigail Was Always Personal
'I Wish I Was There to Hold Her'
Thousands of people lined up along the route the hostages were taken to the hospital, crying in joy, weeping, singing, dancing, and many between joy and rage. Joy at the return; rage against Hamas.
Yet there was Avigail, managing to fill our hearts with joy. Joy and love, in a world that had turned so dark, we only saw flickers of light starting on November 24th, when the first group of hostages were released.
I honestly wish this was where this post would end. With happy pictures and stories of a bit of joy. However, it seems that is not possible. If Israel, and Jews all over the world needed any sort of proof of the evil of Hamas and the moral culpability of their partners, the International Red Cross, it came to us yesterday night and today as well. It came to us in the worst possible manner.
Immediately following the massacre and kidnapping of October 7, 2023, the government of Israel, the government of the United States, and many other governments turned to the International Red Cross to get information from them. Gaza is their home turf, they are deeply embedded with the populace along, of course, with those assholes from the UN.
The International Red Cross answered with silence. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
They did not visit the hostages.
They did not give any report on the health of the hostages.
They did not give out a simple list of those who were being held hostage in Gaza.
They refused, actually refused, to take medicine paid for in Israel to those who were sick and wounded. Telling the families, “it was simply not possible.”
They attempted to defend their silence by showing multiple ambulances moving Hamas members.
The International Red Cross stayed silent for fifty-two days.
Let us take a look at their website, shall we? The simple “About” page.
The work of the ICRC is based on the Geneva Conventions of 1949, their Additional Protocols, its Statutes those of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and the resolutions of the International Conferences of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. The ICRC is an independent, neutral organization ensuring humanitarian protection and assistance for victims of war and armed violence. It takes action in response to emergencies and promotes respect for international humanitarian law and its implementation in national law.
“To protect the lives and dignity of victims of armed conflict and violence and to provide them with assistance.”
This bears repeating.
“To protect the lives and dignity of victims of armed conflict and violence and to provide them with assistance.”
Such a lofty goal. Such beautiful words.
Unless you are an Israeli or a Jew. Then that goal does not apply.
We still are met with silence. We still have not seen a full list. We still do not know the status of those who were kidnapped. We do not even have a full list.
The Moral Reprehensibility of the International Red Cross
Meet Elma Avraham who is eighty-four years old. When she was kidnapped, it was immediately announced that she had multiple health problems, and in order to continue living, she required specific medicines. Her family, and the government of Israel, announced this over and over.
Silence. Nothing. No Red Cross intervention.
Her family bought all the specialized medicines and brought them to the International Red Cross. The staff refused to accept the medicine.
So when Elma appeared last night, she did not join the motorcade to the hospital. She was immediately put on a helicopter and taken to the hospital. She is now on life-saving equipment, and her condition is considered life-threatening. With a pulse of 40, she had to be operated on immediately.
Let us be clear. When Elma was kidnapped her medical condition was totally stable. She was aware, awake, and mobile. She was being taken care of.
As of this writing, Elma is now unconscious, held alive by machines, with hypothermia, low pulse, and low blood pressure, and coming from fifty-one days of living in tunnels, with little food and no medicine.
And the International Red Cross refused and still refuses to do what it is supposed to do. What it does in every other area of the world. Why?
Because like WOKE, #metoo, Queers for Palestine, Black Lives Matter, and all the rest antisemites, the International Red Cross simply hates Jews. They are the sewage of humanity.
DEFUND The International Red Cross NOW!
The Coming Evening & Elon Musk
Israel still does not have a list of who is being released. Israel is once again being psychologically manipulated by Hamas. And the rumors are that children will be released, but their mothers will not! This is the state of things.
Today, Elon Musk came to visit Israel.
Ostensibly, Musk being Musk, he was pushing “StarLink” for Gaza. So, without using X, without having your phone number, here is my message to the richest person in the world.
Get up off your ass and force the International Red Cross to do something. Anything!
Zuckerberg, Bezos, Gates et.al. have not shown an ounce of humanity. Maybe you can prove that your “demon mode” will work for good, Mr. Musk.
(Read Walter Isaacson’s Book, “Elon Musk.” to understand “demon mode. And I recommend every book Isaacson has ever written. He is an incredible biographer.)
So, Mr. Musk. Now you have seen the movies, now you have seen the videos, now that you have visited the border and the burned-out kibbutzim, and visited the people, stand up. Do something. Prove to us that your humanity is not as tainted as others.
Meanwhile, we in Israel wait for the fourth and final night of hostage return and terrorists being let out of prison in exchange, at a 3:1 ratio. Three terrorists for every single hostage.
We wait. We pray. We weep. We cry. And we take a bit of joy in Avigail. She is a flicker of hope in days full of darkness.
