Goes back the better part of the 20th Century. The IRC gave a glowing review of Theresienstadt, the "model" concentration camp (found the collection of poems and drawings by dead children who were inmates there before being killed; knew it was in my personal library somewhere).
He didn't have money for plane tickets.
I took him to the Red Cross.
No help.
Then Salvation Army. They had him on a plane home the next day.
Discussing the matter with other, I found out that was normal.
I will NEVER give a dime to the Red Cross.
So the Red Cross gave a glowing review of Theresienstadt at the exact time they were charging US soldiers for a coffee and donut?
Classy
Over time, charities that are not specifically conservative, move left and become corrupt, but I think I have repeated myself.
I am pretty sure the Red Cross has out posts in Mexico to help illegals enter our country.
Every guy I met who had served in Vietnam HATED the Red Cross. There were different reasons, but the hate was constant.
The red cross is a leftist run communist organization.
Period
I have a little respect for the Red Cross, any of their various forms. I’m also bothered by how insensitive we have become to the fact that these are hostages, held by terrorist, and are not legitimate prisoners of war. Hamas murdered, raped, and took people hostage. Yes, it is good if they can finally do something constructive and visit the hostages, assess their needs, give them medical attention. Then they should share where they are held so that Israel in the United States and other countries can go in and retrieve them. Once they are retrieved, every last member and supporter of Hamas needs to be tracked down and killed.
I do not, donate to the Red Cross, rarely to Salvation Army or Goodwill. All of these groups place American interest second or ant the bottom of the list and with the Red Cross, they spend way too much money on politics, on their buildings, on their salaries.
Wow - Never knew all this. I donate blood regularly to Red Cross. I’ve often wondered why a Christian organization doesn’t develop their own blood donor system, and only provide blood to hospitals that won’t perform abortions.
