The 'war on' the Red Cross (?) |

Red Cross to adopt another emblem alongside the cross and crescent emblems. The two aid organisations say the additional emblem would be free of any religious or political connotations. http://www.adnki.com/index_2Level.php?cat=Trends&loid=8.0.207872172&par=0

1. This was the only way Israel could get its EMS recognized |
|
The ICRC would not allow Magen David Adom (Red Star-of-David) to join without changing its symbol.

and if they used a simple red circle, would WWII vets protest, would Japan?
maybe they should all use the the caduceus, the twining staff of Mercury, symbol for the medical profession. but the red cross/crescent has always stood for a more than exclusively medical assistance....
what is wrong with people???
