Magen David Adom Joins Red Cross.
Israel Faxx, March, 2000
By IsraelWire
The International Red Cross has informed Israel that it will admit Israel into the organization following years of a boycott.
IRC President Dr. Bernadine Healy, of Columbus, Ohio, in her appeal to admit Israel last year pointed out that the Red Cross is pledged to universality and is composed of 176 member societies from every corner of the earth, with one exception: Israel. Israel's Magen David Adom.
The excuse is the Magen David Adom's symbol: not a red cross or (as do Muslim societies) a red crescent, but a red Shield (or Star) of David. To admit the Israeli society, says the federation (and its associate body, the International Committee of the Red Cross), would lead to a proliferation of other symbols.
