#The International committee of the red Cross

[humusboii2thereturnoftheking]

Israel is the low-hanging fruit Human Rights Organizations pick on for validation.

Remember these organizations operate on donations. If you were attempting to maximize donations, which topic would you discuss?

(A) The Uyghur concentration camps in China

(B) The genocide and ethnic cleansing in Sudan

(C) The genocide and ethnic cleansing in Myanmar

(D) One of the worst humanitarian crisis ongoing in Yemen

(E) The terrible human rights violations in Iran

(F) Pakistan expelling two million refugees

(G) Russia's war crimes and massacres in Ukraine

(H) The war in Gaza launched by Hamas

Obviously, the answer is G, as evident by the mind-boggling amount of attention the conflict receives. The popularity of the Israel-Palestine conflict pales in comparison to other global major events and Human Right Organizations know it.

For The Red Cross, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch It is much more profitable, popular and safer to criticize Israel than Russia, Iran, Sudan, China, Pakistan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, etc.

Let's summarize:

The ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross) has made 6 times more statements to criticize Israel and has often resorted to hyperbole to cast Israel as a “limitless” destroyer to evoke sympathy for one side and demonize Israel. No statement was made speaking directly about the massacre of October 7th. Beyond language, only 2 statements condemning Hamas include videos and pictures while 38 tweets condemning Israel contain images, graphic testimonies, and videos designed to solicit greater attention and a stronger response. Through their Twitter, it is evident that the ICRC has dedicated large amounts of resources to interviewing doctors and victims in Gaza, to editing infographics and videos, and to appearing on the news to talk about the devastation in Gaza. Comparatively little to no attention was paid to Israeli victims.

Human Rights WatcH (HRW) - Is obsessed with criticizing Israel in the conflict and has been called out by their own founder for abandoning their mission and focusing on scrutinizing Israel. HRW disproportionately focuses on condemnations of Israel and that publications related to Israel often lack credibility. HRW also promotes an agenda based solely on the Palestinian narrative of victimization and Israeli aggression.

Amnesty International - Disproportionately singles out Israel for condemnation, focusing solely on the conflict with the Palestinians, misrepresenting the complexity of the conflict, and ignoring more severe human rights violations in the region. In October 2023, in the aftermath of the brutal Hamas attack on October 7, Amnesty emphasized “the root causes” of the conflict, in particular “Israel’s system of apartheid imposed on all Palestinians.” Amnesty does not identify “root causes” on the part of any other actor, including Palestinians and terror groups.

I will reiterate- these organizations follow the wishes of their donors and while their funding isn't fully transparent here are some notable moments:

• In November 2023, MEMRI leaked a document detailing a €3 million donation in 2018 to HRW from Qatar.

• In February 2020, it was revealed that HRW's Executive Director Ken Roth accepted a donation in 2012 from a Saudi real estate tycoon for $470,000 “promising not to support advocacy of the LGBT community in the Middle East and North Africa.”

• In December 2013, Amnesty International admitted to working with the Alkarama foundation, whose Qatari co-founder has been accused of financing Al Qaeda and its affiliates.

• In February 2021, Indian officials accused Amnesty International India of money laundering.

For those complaining I'm relying on UNWatch and NGO-Monitor: Every word is backed by a source which you are encouraged to verify yourself. Anyone refusing to accept factual data because of their cognitive bias should not be discussing this topic in the first place.

Today is the 187 day since Hamas abducted men, women, elders and children from their homes. 133 of them are still in captivity. Ceasefire will only come when Hamas surrenders and releases the hostages.

The International Committee of the Red Cross has said it is investigating allegations that a member of its staff made highly inflammatory comments against Israel on his social media accounts and violated the organization’s commitment to neutrality and impartiality.

The allegations were made by the UN Watch organization, which this week flagged several fiercely anti-Israel Facebook posts made by Haythem “Ethan” Abid since the October 7 atrocities committed by Hamas and the ensuing war in Gaza.

Abid wrote on his personal Facebook page and his LinkedIn page that he was an ICRC head of office, although he shut down both accounts after his controversial posts came to light.1/2

Abid appears to be based in Montreal, Canada, but is thought to be the head of ICRC Libya — which is run out of the organization’s Algeria office. ICRC would not confirm directly that he was an employee, but said it was investigating the matter “thoroughly.”

The organization refused to provide any further details regarding Abid’s employment and location, and his closure of his social media accounts meant he could not be directly contacted.

In one Facebook post from October 18, 2023, Abid wrote, “Fuck neutral shit, today being neutral is taking a side,” above a picture of bloodied children’s shoes.

In another Facebook post on October 24, Abid posted a picture of himself holding a large Palestinian flag during an October 22 rally in Montreal organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement and Montreal4Palestine organizations, both of which are highly antagonistic toward Israel.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 🚨 ICRC CALLS ISRAEL'S TARGETING OF AMBULANCES "UNACCEPTABLE" AND DECLARES THE COST OF NOT UPHOLDING INTERNATIONAL LAW "UNBEARABLE"

In a news release issued by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the ICRC slams Israel's "military siege" on Gaza, as Gaza's 2.3 million people are "deprived of food, water and medicine.. leaving people without the essentials to survive."

The ICRC also highlighted the need for safe and sustained access to humanitarian aid for Gaza and stressed the dire need for the restoration of critical services like Healthcare, water and electricity, calling them "a lifesaving priority".

"Massive bombardments are gutting civilian infrastructure across Gaza, sowing the seeds of hardship for generations to come," the ICRC railed against Israel's crimes in its news release.

Among the most shocking impact is the agony children have had to bear. Children have been ripped from their families and held hostage. In Gaza, ICRC surgeons treat toddlers whose skin is charred from widespread burns,” ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric is quoted as saying.

“What more must children endure? The images of suffering, dead and wounded children will haunt us all. This is a moral failing.”

The ICRC pointed to both sides' obligations under International Humanitarian Law, saying civilians must be spared from military operations and offered their willingness to assist in the negotiations with Hamas to return hostages being held.

"The hostages must be released immediately. They play no part in this conflict and we reiterate our offer as neutral actor to facilitate any future release operation," President Spoljaric said.

The ICRC news release goes on to slam "Scenes of damaged hospitals and ambulances" as "unacceptable".

The news release continues by pointing to the many humanitarian workers killed in Israeli bombing and highlights how the medical facilities being targeted are sanctuaries fo civilians hiding from Israeli bombs.

"Tragically, medics from both the Palestine Red Crescent and Magen David Adom, alongside UN and other humanitarian workers, have been killed in the last month while working to help others," the news release says.

"Medical facilities are sanctuaries for the sick and wounded, as well as for the thousands of displaced people seeking refuge. They must be protected. The human cost of not doing so is unbearable."

The news release ends by talking about the agony for families waiting for news about loved ones in the Gaza Strip being hammered by Israeli bombing raids.

"One month on, families face an agonizing wait for news of their loved ones, while the conflict has killed, maimed and displaced far too many men, women and children. The sides must deescalate now to prevent yet more suffering."

Brad Sherman models the perfect pro-Israel Democrat

This piece, written late last week, takes on a new importance in light of the Israeli massacre in Jenin and the Palestinian lone shooter attack in Neve Yakov. More to the point, the importance it’s magnified by Antony Blinken’s contemptible tour of Middle East criminals, from Cairo and al-Sisi to Jerusalem and Netanyahu. The article examines the words of Brad Sherman, one of the most zealous…

Amid an ongoing spat with the Red Cross, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen demanded Wednesday that the group visit the 240 hostages Israeli believes are being held captive by Hamas in the Gaza Strip and harshly criticized the organization’s conduct.

The foreign minister told the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Mirjana Spoljaric, that the ICRC must demand to meet and provide medical assistance to all the hostages, Cohen’s office said.

“The Red Cross has no right to exist if it does not succeed in visiting the hostages being held captive by the Hamas terror group,” Cohen told Spoljaric, and noted that “children, women and Holocaust survivors” are being held captive.

“The Red Cross must act decisively and with a clear voice and utilize all leverage it has to push for a visit to the hostages as soon as possible,” Cohen added.

Cohen’s statements came after the Red Cross sent a letter on Tuesday to the Israel Prison Service, cautioning the state about a wartime law passed in the Knesset two weeks ago that allows National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to worsen the conditions of security prisoners if a “prison emergency” were to be declared.

The foreign minister criticized the ICRC for focusing on Israel, “which is bound by international law and acts in accordance with it,” instead of the enormous humanitarian crisis created by Hamas.

Prison Service commissioner Katy Perry, in a statement Wednesday, said that the Red Cross would not be allowed to visit Palestinian terror prisoners held in Israeli jails until the organization is able to provide assistance to the Israeli hostages in Gaza.

Eleven years after the start of the conflict in Syria, the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequences of the war in Ukraine have made the economic situation in the war-torn country even worse. FRANCE 24 interviewed Peter Maurer, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, who recently met President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. Maurer said Assad was "very aware of the international environment and the pressure it exerts on Syria" and that the Syrian leader was "grateful for the humanitarian work" but "crystal clear in his vision that things cannot go on this way".
