#7 FYI ALL: This is about the International RC -- not the same as the US RC, which is who we deal with when we donate to Katrina and such... not that they did a great job with that, but at least they're not the terr enablers described in this article.

#8 There's an easy way to fix this: Don't leave any Hizzies wounded.

#10 As far as I know, there's nothing wrong with them treating the wounded. So long as the wounded are not carrying arms, that is. Hell, that's what the ICRC is for.

But...

But the idea that the ICRC acts as a neutral in these conflicts is a laugh. Hezbollah is not a signatory to the GCs, as a non-state body is not protected by the GCs, and has not abided by the GCs by giving the ICRC access to the captured Israeli soldiers.

So the ICRC was, bluntly, violating the GCs by giving medical aid -- ANY AID -- to Hezbollah fighters.
