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.

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

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

Why is the Red Cross catering to Muslims or Jews? If they don't want Christian aid then forget about it, move on. But to deny the cross should surely cause the Red Cross to lose millions in donations from Christians. It would be an act of apostasy to contribute to such an organization now.
