I UNFOLLOWED THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE RED CROSS

(Originally I attributed this claim directly to the ICRC

president Spoljaric, but the press source apparently put

together her comment and a separate ICRC comment.)

Today I unfollowed the ICRC,

International Committee of the Red Cross,

on Twitter after it demanded

freedom to Israeli captives in Gaza

while refusing to demand the same

for Palestinian captives held by Israel.

According to the ICRC,

it's enought that Israel "notifies"

ICRC about Palestinian captives,

that it "treats them humanely",

and allows it and families to visit them.

No freedom demanded for them.

Freedom, according to the ICRC -

so it seems based on its declaration -

is reserved for the occupier Israelis,

and imprisonment reserved

for occupied Palestinians.

So I unfollowed ICRC,

the International Committee of the Red Cross.

It has becomes racist pandering

to Israeli regime, dividing people

based on their ethnic-religious identities,

ending up declaring that one label

means captives carrying it deserve freedom,

another that captives don't deserve freedom.

So to the ICRC human beings

given the latter label, the occupied

Palestinians, are like cattle in a cattle pen,

or captured beasts in a zoo, or slaves

whose slavery is approved by the Red Cross.

Not equal human beings to Israelis

in the eyes of the Red Cross.

So, let the Israelis retweet ICRC

from now on. I'm sure they won't.
