fully implement the provisions of the 4th Geneva Convention, namely "to take measures that will enable the civilian population living in the Occupied Territories to resume as normal a life as possible, and to respond to their humanitarian needs."as if there were no suicide bombings, false accusations of massacre, incitement to war from surrounding nations, etc.
After the ambulance bomb concealment
Kellenberger also appealed for respect for the Red Cross and Red Crescent Emblems, and for all medical missions, which are protected under international humanitarian lawall the while knowing that the Red Cross has blocked Israel's Mogen David Adom from using its emblem, the 6-pointed Jewish star- for over 50 years.
So I am sure ICRC will figure out some way to cast the Palestinians as the poor victims in this incident and the Palestinians know it.
(via lgf comments)
UPDATE: The ICRC official has been freed. And now we know who kidnapped him and why:
Palestinian security officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said all the gunmen were former police officers who had been fired from their duties in the Palestinian security services. About two months ago the same group abducted three Italians who were in Gaza to express solidarity with the Palestinians, the security officials said. . . . the gunmen were demanding to get their jobs back.So when these guys look for work in the uh, security business, they can state on their resumes that they contributed significantly to two successful hostage-takings and subsequent negotiations. I think they have glowing futures as UN peacekeepers.
