And you thought the Red Cross was neutral...
An acquaintance of mine, Mike Bussio, sent me the following e-mail.
I thought you readers might be interested in seeing it in full. I
haven't investigated it, but it sounds like the kind of bone-headed
thing the International Committee of the Red Cross would do.
It has been suggested by Julie Taub, M.Ed., LL.B. Immigration Lawyer, Ottawa, Canada that when she receives a letter from the Red Cross soliciting funds, she sends a note back in their postpaid envelope stating that, since Israel's Magen David Adom (Israel's "Red Cross") is not recognized by the International Red Cross organization, she will withhold any contributions and will advise everyone she knows to do the same; until this wrong is corrected.If you agree please send this to everyone in your address book. It may
help get Magen David Adom on the funded list of that organization and
they sorely need the help.
If you wish to directly express your displeasure with this situation, sign the Simon Wiesenthal Center's petition addressed to the President of the Swiss Confederation.
