After so many years, can it finally be true?
After so many years of Muslim, Islamic, and Eunuch apathy and interference, the impossible may finally be happening…
The Red Cross humanitarian movement overcame Muslim objections and cleared away the last obstacle to full Israeli membership early Thursday, setting up formal admission later in the day after nearly six decades of exclusion, Israel’s ambassador said.
In a vote that came well after midnight, the International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent approved a resolution that enables Israel’s Magen David Adom society to join while retaining its red star of David instead of having to adopt the red cross or crescent used by other societies, Ambassador Itzhak Levanon said.
As much as I’d like to rejoice, I’ll hold back my jubilation until the ink is dry and Israel is truly sitting at “the adults table” without any reservations whatsoever.

It’s not without any reservation whatsoever; Magen David Adom is barred from use of its emblem internationally, a bar not imposed on any Red Cross or Red Crescent society. Not too long ago Jews wore yellow stars; now Israel’s ambulances are supposed to bear the mark of a “red crystal.”
Can you say “dhimma”?

I saw this and had the same reaction.
