Red Cross reprimands Israeli hostage families: 'Think about the Palestinians'

Not neutral — they’re on the other side.

[Jerusalem Post] The Red Cross has sparked outrage in Israel with how it has handled the mass kidnapping and massacre conducted by Hamas.

Families of Israelis being held hostage by Hamas were reprimanded by representatives of the Red Cross in a meeting earlier this week, with the Red Cross telling one family they need to "think about the Palestinian side," KAN reported on Thursday night.

Roni and Simona, the parents of Doron Steinbrecher who was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists from Kfar Azza on October 7, were invited to a meeting with the Red Cross earlier this week.

Doron needs a medication she takes daily and her parents thought that the Red Cross was finally willing to transfer the medication to her, but instead they were sat down and reprimanded by representatives of the Red Cross.

"Think about the Palestinian side," the representatives of the Red Cross told Simona, according to KAN. "It's hard for the Palestinians, they're being bombed."

Simona expressed shock at the Red Cross's behavior. "We left there as we entered: without new information, without something new, and with disappointment," said Simona.

#7 I'm guessing this is the International Red Cross and not the American Red Cross. The difference being the International one is international, with all that implies, while the American Red Cross is actually useful in a disaster.
