Refuses? Or fails to. Regardless, we quit giving to them decades ago.

I hope that this report is not accurate! Every year at Christmas, I volunteer several hours to ringing a bell in front of a Salvation Army red kettle. Unless this story is disputed, I will forgo my charitable contributions and utilize my time in another pursuit.

Just looked a bit further on the topic:

Red Cross says in contact with Hamas, Israel over hostages (a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20231012-red-cross-says-in-contact-with-hamas-israel-over-hostages">https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20231012-red-cross-says-in-contact-with-hamas-israel-over-hostages Article addresses both the hostages and the bigger picture plight of Palestinians.

Red Cross demands Hamas grant immediate access to hostages held in Gaza, https://www.timesofisrael.com/red-cross-demands-hamas-grant-immediate-access-to-hostages-held-in-gaza/ offers a more focus on the Islamic Hamas hostages.

So, no, it does not appear that the Red Cross is refusing to help the hostages, just a false headline to stir things up.

I’ve already given my opinion of the red cross. Spit!

Useless organization. After the Almeda wildfire I was never able to make contact with them. Got zero help . They were there for the illegal aliens.

Tells us everything we need to know about Red Cross.

Red Cross == Non-funny joke...
For over 70 years...

The Red Cross has been on my feces list since I went through Marine Corps boot camp in 1973 and my drill instructors vilified them for their actions in WW 2. My mentor, who was a B-17/B-24 gunner in WW 2, verified their stories about how the RC charged frontline soldiers for coffee and donuts when other organizations didn’t. Now the Salvation Army is on that same list after their International Social Justice Commission came out with its “Let’s Talk About Racism” pamphlet that instructed whites to feel guilty for being white.

The America Red Cross repeatedly fails on a number of fronts while running a funding scam that mere pennies on the dollar reach those in need. Why would the International Red Cross be any different?

I’ll bet you Samaritans Purse is there.

Red Cross is another woke organization. A few years ago, I was going to donate blood and I had my Trump 2020 T-shirt on, the woke Red Cross told me that she didn’t need my blood.
