Israel (not "The Jews" unless you're an anti-Semite who can't differentiate) has been using the Red Magen David longer than it has been a nation. If they'd just call it a rastafarian symbol, everything would be fine.

BTW you might check out
Talks on new emblem for Red Cross. The idea that the cross isn't a Christian symbol only seems to exist when it comes to baring Israel from membership.

The disagreement centers around whether a red Star of David can join the emblems of the red cross and red crescent to identify ambulances, medical workers and others on humanitarian missions. No, this is only a symptom of the disagreement; the real problem is that the Arab members of the Red Cross (who are the ONLY ones objecting) still cannot accept the very idea of a nation run by Jews, let alone the reality of it. This is pure anti-Semitism, nothing more and nothing less. The fact that the other members (the US excepted, as usual) permit this bullshiite to continue earns them a pox on their houses.
The latest proposal envisions what its proponents call a red crystal a square standing on one corner, with a blank white interior and a thick red border. Magen David Adom, or MDA, the Israeli society, would be allowed to put its Red Star of David in the center but the Israeli military would not be able to use the combined symbol in an armed conflict to protect its medics.
To use anything other than the existing symbol, which is also the symbol for Israel the nation, is unbelieveably insulting. I suppose that it was OK for the German military in WW1 to use the Red Cross symbol while having the Knights Cross on vehicles and planes, but not for the JOOOOOS.
KCUF that noise. Israel should want to have little to nothing to do with such trash.

Henri Dunant, the founder of the International Red Cross, was one of the observers at the First Zionist Congress in Basel in 1897 (there were lots of observers because everyone figured with a bunch of JOOOOOOS getting together, it had to have
something to do with their Nefarious Conspiracy To Attain World Rule). In other words, the founder of the Red Cross spied on the Jews to keep them from "conspiring."
The RC will never recognize the Magen David 'Adom at any time because of its own anti-Semitic roots.
I'd tell them to get bent.

One of the co-founders of the American Red Cross (together with Civil War nurse Clara Barton) was Adolphus Solomons, a Washington D.C. photographer and an Orthodox Jew.

[So, the Red Crescent is allowed so the Muslims won't be offended, and the Red Magen David is not allowed so the Muslims won't be offended.]

[I'm not aware of any religions affiliated with the International Red Cross]
I believe the Red Crescent is already.
[ The red crescent, along with the Red Lion and Sun of Iran, was enshrined with the red cross in the Geneva conventions of 1929.]
Is the Red Cross really trustworthy? I have read on two occasions that they kept donated monies for their own use and that they have a checkered past being closer to some of America's enemies than to us.

Good graphic work. The concept is just SOOOOO wrong. Would have been happy with the words "Let's Roll" - maybe the Israelis could use that on their vehicles ;) One set of heros could honour another.

As a matter of curiosity, just what countries do you think will be adopting objectionable symbols I don't consider any of those symbols objectionable, but my PC detector is going off. And I hate PC.
I think we both know that the decision has nothing to do with the threat of new symbol's, and everything to do with the fact that the majority Red Crescent members refuse to recognize the sovereignty of Israel.
Definitely. I have a perverse desire to see it adopted just to piss off the intolerant Muslims.
To: Alouette
not "The Jews" unless you're an anti-Semite who can't differentiate PC Alert! Save that for DU.

... Because RedStarOfDavid won't bomb, won't terrorize.
Terror wins, again.
In UK, "experts" gathered to "see" what is Muslims' rage... and the Muslim Rep. came up with the "offensive"-to-Muslims day of the Holocaust memorial...
Spanish Mr. Zapatero got out of Iraq as soon as Madrid got bombed.
Who says terror doesn't pay?
