The sharp comments took place at a rally of thousands of Israelis at the renamed “Hostages Square” in front of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art on Motzei Shabbos to support the families in their demand to return their 239 loved ones home.

The former president addressed the crowd, decrying the International Red Cross for assisting in the delivery of aid to the people of Gaza, while not insisting on having access to Jewish hostages.

“I am with you in the uncompromising call to return all the hostages home. I am speaking and addressing all the leaders around the world and telling them: Get us information, act in all areas for the release of the hostages, as you have demanded of us many times,” Rivlin said.

“This week I contacted the Red Cross Commission and asked them simply: ‘How should we respond to your demand for humanitarian aid to Gaza when you do not force Hamas to allow you to visit all the abductees? Why do you avoid going to the devil, to those who killed and murdered children, old people, and women and use their men as human shields?”

He also said: “With each day the distress grows heavier, knowing of the nights our loved ones are spending in an unknown place and condition.”

if you just look at the IRS 990 form for the IRC you would see clearly what they are all about. $$$ for the higher ups 8-12 % for disaster relief and most of all a political agenda to try and convince people they are a doing good organization.
The volunteers may have their hearts in the right place, but they are volunteers, not over paid shills.
