Yes, of course, like every other international organisation in the World, the Red Cross is antisemitic.

What arrant nonsense. The simple fact is that the Red Cross does not put public pressure on governments. If it did, the Israeli government would be very quick to react.

And anyway, everyone knows why Hamas won`t allow access to Shalit. It is for fear of an Israeli tracing of those invovled, followed by a move to release him.

If Israel promised credibly not to do that, the Red Cross would get access immediately.

But the problem is that Israel cannot make any promises which Hamas - or even the Red Cross - would believe. Why is that?
