I can understand this ... Jews aren't Christians. So let them use the red Star of David, if they must.

Ideally I wish this wasn't an issue.

So we have THREE emblems thus far--

the Red Cross

the Red Crescent

and the Iranian symbol

But for Israel to attempt to use a Star of David? The world recoils!

Use a crescent and a star with a circle and a slash throught it. I micturate on the Islamic gutter.

That's a non starter. The diamond (the star to be used only in Israel or countries that allow it) was a compromise.

"Ideally I wish this wasn't an issue."

That's how I feel as well. The Red Cross is the Red Cross for crying outloud.

I hold the Red Cross organization responsible for this. They could solve it if they really wanted to. In general, the Red Cross stinks. Give your money to the Salvation Army instead---that is a first-class organization.

This is why words like "f*cking" and "retards" had to be created.

Amazing.

The arabs continue to demonstrate to the World what a bunch of spoiled, childish little malcontents that they really are.

Anyone who gives to the Red Cross is funding Hamas. Give to the Salvation Army instead.

The Red Diamond (or Crystal) was developed because many countries (mainly Arab) were blocking the Star of David. Muslim countries get to use a Red Crescent, BTW.

Iran maintains a right to use a Red Lion with Sun, though they haven't since the Shah was overthrown.

Honestly I think the Arabs won't care....they'll blow up an ambulance just as quickly as they'll blow up an Army jeep (or a school bus)...
