  > The international Red Cross accused Israeli forces Thursday ...
  
  I wonder if the international Red Cross EVER accused Hamas, Islamic Jihad or Hezbollah for DELIBERATE attacks against Israeli civilians. After all, we're still waiting for them to assist the men, women and children killed and wounded by their actions.
  
  Any ideas?

    "For a second straight day, Israel suspended its Gaza military operation for three hours to allow in humanitarian supplies. Shortly before the pause took effect, however, the U.N. said one of its aid trucks came under fire from a gunner on an Israeli tank, killing the driver.
    
    U.N. spokesman Adnan Abu Hasna said the U.N. coordinated the delivery with Israel, and the vehicle was marked with a U.N. flag and insignia when it was shot in northern Gaza. The Israeli army said it was investigating.
    
    In Geneva, the international Red Cross said it would restrict its aid operations to Gaza City for at least one day after one of its convoys came under Israeli fire at the Netzarim crossing during the three-hour lull in fighting Thursday. One driver was lightly injured."

      "Many of the dead were in the same neighborhood where the international Red Cross said rescuers discovered young children too weak to stand who had stayed by their dead mothers. "
      
      "Many of the dead found Thursday were in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighborhood, where the international Red Cross said it found four small children alive next to their mothers' bodies in the rubble of a home hit by Israeli shelling."

    Yes. That should tell you something about the level of the horrors being perpetrated by the Israelis, shouldn't it.

      It would if Hamas weren't cowards using the civilians of Gaza city as human shields. Googlemap the Gaza Strip as I've previously said. Hamas has plenty of unpopulated areas from which to fire their rockets. But then, nobody wants to have a bulls eye painted on their heads, do they? If Hamas used these areas, there wouldn't be a single civilian death or injury. That wouldn't serve Hamas' purpose, would it?

      "In 2008 six people were killed by Qassam rocket and mortar attacks on Israel bringing the total number of such deaths within Israel to 18 since June 2004."
      
      18 israelis dead due to rock attacks since 2004
      
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rocket_and_mo...
      
      here's the palestinian death toll....
      
      "255 deaths - 2005
      993 injuries - 2005
      
      881 deaths - 2004
      4009 injuries - 2004"
      
      http://www.black-iris.com/2006/01/02/israel-death-...
      
      during the past almost 2 weeks of israel's assault on gaza the palestinian death toll is now said to be 700+ with 2000+ injured
      
      so to roughly summarize. here's the score since 2004....
      18 israelis + soldiers/ approx 2000 palestinians, possibly more as there may be other figures to be added
      
      and you wonder why the red cross doesn't complain. :|

  The IRC doesn't recognize the Israel Magan David Adom although it recognizes the Arab Red Crescent. Is there any bias within the IRC? It seems that they have as much credibility as the UN.

    "It seems that they have as much credibility as the UN "
    
    Which is to say a hell of a lot more than Israel and their murdering hordes of the IDF.

      Right, the UN has a lot of credibility. What were they doing today when rockets were being fired into Israel from Lebanon? They were put there to prevent exactly that. What was the answer of the UN when questioned why rockets were being fired from Lebanon? Complete bewilderment. Now that sounds like a credible peace keeping force. Good luck to Israel with Hamas if there is a cease fire and the UN is given the task of policing it!!

  They ignore Gaza wounded? Like the world ignored rockets being fired willy nilly into Israeli civilian neighborhoods from territory, Gaza, Israel traded WITH those future Gaza wounded in the hopes of achieving peace?
