Red Cross Trains Taliban in First Aid
Red Cross training Taliban in first aid - will they be feeding them next?
As we seem to be focusing on the rampant dhimmitude in the human rights/NGO spheres today, we have to say that this story in particular had everyone here speechless. You seriously couldn’t have dreamed this up in a million years.
If there were such a thing as the Moral Equivalency World Cup, the International Committee of the Red Cross would surely lift the Jules Rimet Trophy, had it not already been stolen:
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says it has given first aid training to Taliban members in Afghanistan.
An ICRC statement said the organisation had provided basic training and first aid kits to about 70 members of the “armed opposition” last month.
The ICRC said that it had also provided training to civilians.
A spokesman said that the training had been going on for some time to ensure that everyone is treated humanely.
The spokesman said the ICRC’s constitution stipulates that all parties harmed by warfare will be treated as fairly as possible.
He said that giving first aid training to armies and armed opposition groups was “routine” in other conflict areas of the world such as Sri Lanka.
Correspondents say that revelations that the ICRC is providing first aid training to the Taliban are not a surprise, but will nevertheless not go down well with many in the Afghan government.
A Nato spokesman in Kabul said that the alliance respects the humanitarian work carried out by the ICRC and recognises the need for this work to be carried out impartially.
The spokesman pointed out that Nato frequently provided first aid to injured Taliban fighters.
‘Impartial organisation’
The ICRC spokesman denied that by giving first aid training to the Taliban – rather than merely treating injured insurgents – it was crossing an important dividing line.
The ICRC attaches great importance to its impartiality
“Our aim is to treat people when and where it matters most, irrespective of what side they are on,” he said. “It is a fundamental part of our objectives.
“We treat and train people on the basis of medical necessity as an impartial organisation, regardless of race or politics.”
In a report on Tuesday looking at the state of Afghanistan’s health services, the ICRC said that “fighting, mines and road blocks” were preventing many people in the conflict-affected areas from getting to hospital.
“The armed conflict is taking a heavy toll on health services around the country. Even basic first aid is often lacking, let alone advanced war surgery. And when health care is available, it is not always easy to get it,” it said.
Afghanistan is the ICRC’s biggest operation worldwide. It has 140 international and 1,540 national staff based in its main delegation in Kabul and in five sub-delegations and 10 offices countrywide.
This astounding example of moral equivalence defies belief. While Western troops are being slaughtered in their hundreds in Afghanistan, this traitorous so-called humanitarian organisation is keeping the enemy battle fit. Boycott this inexcusable behaviour – DO NOT GIVE THESE TRAITORS YOUR MONEY.

We can’t control what the ICRC does…but we can stop donating to the AMERICAN Red cross…..
thats AMERICAN for those who didn’t hear me…
AMERICAN!!
Between the government , the Red Cross, The Iraqi and Afghan govts…the liberal idiots of the world..our troops don’t have a chance.
ICRC claims to want to treat everyone humanely. By helping the savage Taliban to survive and fight on, it is likely more innocents and civilians will be maimed and killed, resulting in less humane treatment overall.
I say triage and don’t waste time or medicine on any Islamic extremist!
I posted about this as well, and had a visit from the national headquarters of the red cross. I think they are obviously monitoring responses. Maybe they will get the pictur that this is no ordinary ‘war’, and that they are aiding and abetting terrorists.
This goes well beyond humanitarian effort. This is offering comfort to the enemy – Red Cross donors from those countries that have troops in Afghanistan should withhold contributions and any privileged taxation status should be withdrawn; until and unless they have a commitment that this outrageous moral inversion ceases.
Any wounded Taliban that may have been treated and then went on to kill a coalition soldier is blood on the ICRC’s hands.
Why only now? The Red Cross needs to explain why for several years they have failed to satisfy the Taliban’s needs for first aid training.
We are mad and getting madder!

I support the main theme of the Red Cross…but the way they’re going about it is really, really stupid.
