(3,582 posts)Imagine, if you will, if the Nazis had the "Broken Cross" humanitarian society. It affiliated with international humanitarian societies. It publicized their humanitarian endeavors within Germany, maybe even helping Jews/Gays/Gypsies when they're sick or injured, to stay in good-standing with the Red Cross.
Would you believe they were not run by the Nazis and only did unbiased humanitarian work? Would you criticize allies when Goebels printed pictures of how Allies bombed a hospital serving Jews/Gays/Gypsies?
Personally, knowing Hamas and their terrorist behavior in my lifetime and knowing they gladly risk Palestinian lives to cover their terrorist activities and reacting to words used like 'martyr', I am inclined to disregard much of the Hamas-run Red Crescent information without much more credible sourcing.
That's how I look at it, anyway.
Peace.
