Three members of one of the most blood-thirsty terror groups are hanging out in broad daylight in the middle of Jerusalem, given shelter by the Red Cross and giving press conferences no less, and the Israeli government isn't doing anything about it because no bureaucrat wants to take responsibility. If only the world were a simpler place: Bickering over Hamas MPs use of Red Cross office as HQ
The east Jerusalem office of the International Committee of the Red Cross has become, over the last six months, the de facto headquarters of three Hamas legislators, who had been ordered by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) to leave the city. They have established a protest tent there, met with overseas dignitaries, and on Thursday held a press conference, while various Israeli officials argue about what to do with them.
Ahmad Attoun, Khaled Abu- Arafa and Muhammad Totah - all representatives of Hamas's Change and Reform list in the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) - timed their press conference on Thursday to mark International Human Rights Day, which takes place on Friday...
Read on. Even the Red Cross says they have no immunity from arrest there.
Can you imagine three Jew-hating terrorists hanging out in a Jerusalem Red Cross office and pontificating about Human Rights? The world is indeed turned upside-down.
This is especially sickening given the fact that Gilad Shalit is still in captivity and the Red Cross has been next to silent on the matter. Thats the true moral inversion of this story.
