The ICRC continues its shameful legacy

Well, it looks like anti-Semitism rages on at the ICRC as Muslim countries are effectively stonewalling any discussion of adoption of the new symbol:

An attempt to end Israel’s long isolation from the Red Cross humanitarian movement hit a snag Tuesday as Muslim opponents used procedural moves to block progress at a decisive international conference, delegates said.

The International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, which opened Tuesday and is expected to conclude Wednesday, is being asked to approve changes to meet Israeli demands of almost six decades that it be granted full membership without using the cross or crescent to identify itself.

But Red Cross officials hosting the conference confirmed that the meeting’s validity had been challenged. They declined to identify the delegation that filed the motion because the session was being held behind closed doors.

It’s got to be Syria. They were the designated spearpoint for the Arab League and OIC’s offensive against Magen David Adom in previous meetings, and there’s nothing suggesting that the two groups have handed off responsibility for blocking the Jews at any point.

We’ll see if the same rock-throwing stonewallers attempt to do a procedural end-run around the current stalemate with Magen David Adom to get the terrorist taxis of the Palestinian Red Crescent full ICRC member status.
