Yes, I can understand your reasons.
I just want to make clear that whatever the faults of the American Red Cross they were not anti-Israel like the International and Red Crescent organizations.
There are many choices and it is always hard to figure out who best serves the cause you want to help. The easiest decision is when you are personally involved in the work of the org.
Well I never even thought of the Red Cross being anti anything. I know it is not the worker bees of the Red Cross or any other organization the problem always seems to come from the top from the money grabbers. However, that doesn't change it though...they still use the monies for what they want to use it for. But, we give mostly to St. Jude Cancer Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. It's a place we can go to see the children being helped, see the care they receive from caring staff and...see their research center and know where our money is going. It's an awesome place to visit and anyone who can I would say go there. You will be humbled by the courage,optimism and smiles of the children.
