***My late father was a WWII veteran - he and many of his friends from the same era despised the Red Cross.***
My mom said the same thing about them during WWII.
They worked their butts off knitting socks and donoating to the RC. Then word came back from the soldiers that much of the stuff was going to behind the lines officers and when a RC person brought doughnuts to the front line infantry, each soldier received 1/4 of a doughnut.

That is very true.
My dad says they used to make them pay for the coffee and donuts -- while the Sally Anns gave it out for free.

I was shopping today and put a dollar in the 'pot'. They are the only organization I will give money to.

Will they be changing the name of their organization to the “Red Scimitar and the green Moon”?

Well, scratch RC off my giving list forever. If one faction of the organization believes this tripe, it is infested in all to some degree. Screw them.

I was told many years ago a lot of the blood drawn at blood banks was used for cosmetics.I would guess that this is expired or unused blood.
Just imagine if THE PUBLIC really knew the truth about the JUNK they plaster on their bodies, and what it comes from.
I don't know if it would stop them, even the PETA types.
They seem to believe that 'everything' they use/consume/eat comes from some sterile factory and that there are no animals involved.

According to the article the British Red Cross is a member of the ICRC out of Geneva. The ICRC is a mewling, cowardly organization that should not receive the report of anyone or any body. It has a long history of caving to Islamist despots (e.g., Bashir and the Sudan).

Needy muslims go to Christian charities for help. Both here and in the ME.

After my dad a WW2 Vet told me they charged him for coffee and donuts, I never gave them a dime until 911, then they pull that garbage and I knew they’d never, ever see another dime of my money. Their top people make 6 figures.

Since the UAE has a $14 million Christmas tree, it's not likely the muslims this time. It sounds like anti-christian activists and bigots blaming muslims.

There are a lot better organizations you can donate your money to. I don't do my blood donations at red cross centers either.
