After the Death of 14 Red Cross Aid Workers...an Open Letter to the UN/Red Cross

Dear United Nations, International Committee of the Red Cross...

So, here's my thoughts...there is outrage, unbelievable outrage that the IDF (ACCIDENTALLY!) killed 14 Red Cross workers. Outrage.

More outrage than the fact that the International Committee of the Red Cross's ambulance have often been used BY terrorists to shuttle both terrorists and weapons. 

More outrage than the fact that for 17 months, the Red Cross has done NOTHING to try to see our hostages, let alone get medicine to them or get them released. 

More outrage about 14 workers accidentally killed, than 1200 people murdered, raped, mutilated...and 251 kidnapped. 

War sucks - for everyone. Accidents happen. Absurd claims of an "execution style" have already been shown to be inaccurate by Gazan doctors who admit the bodies were shot in multiple places. Compare this to the 6 Israeli hostages who were executed by Hamas terrorists in cold blood with shots to their heads. 

Claims that the ambulances were easily identified and running with their lights on seem to be shown in a video, but also clear is that the first ambulance did not have its lights on. 

Also factor in that earlier that night, Israeli forces ambushed another convoy of terrorists. And factor in, again, the fact that the Red Cross allows their ambulances to be used regularly by Hamas terrorists (in fact, some of their employees are part of Hamas). 

A key element here, undisputed by the Red Cross, is that these ambulances failed to coordinate their nighttime convoy with Israeli forces in the area.

This was clearly an accident...and yet somehow this accident outrages people more than the intentional targeting of Israeli citizens, more than the barbarity of the way in which our hostages have been treated - beaten, starved, assaulted, humiliated, tortured, mutilated. 14 aid workers died...okay. 

Fine. Sucks. But while you carefully maneuver to gain popularity and pity, don't expect it from Israel.

Until you show the outrage you should have shown for our dead, our kidnapped, our innocents, don't expect outrage from us. Don't expect us to care. Don't expect us to mourn. We have no room left to agonize for your workers, no tears left to shed. 

If Hamas didn't use your ambulances to wage war against us, we would not have cause to suspect an uncoordinated convoy in the middle of the night in a combat area.

If Hamas had not attacked Israel on October 7, we would not now be in Gaza. 

You have a problem, speak to Hamas...and while you do, ask them, demand that they release our hostages. Otherwise, man up. This is what happens in war. Innocents are caught in the middle. Don't blame Israel for a war we didn't start, conditions we did not determine.

And if you can't understand how this accident could happen, you've learned nothing about Hamas.

We expect nothing from you. Feel free to expect nothing from us.
