Hello,
I have started to collect lots and lots of blankets and items for those affected in Haitit. However, I do not know what organization to give the items too in order to send them to Haiti!

I know of Red Crossand Salvation Army, however, I heard that Red Cross will not take donations other than money, which I think is great, yet, kind of messed up for those who have no money to donate but would love to send love and hope to those through giving them warm blankets, childrens clothings, coats and such. If ANYONE know’s of anything, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know of where I can go or call.

Thank You sooo much!
I live in Orange County, California. My area code is 92705.

Thank You!!!

I would like to know if countries like Pakistan, Ethopia and Thailand are going to set up International Aid and send those poor people in Gloucester and Tewksbury blankets, food and their Army to help these poor people. I cant help but think if this sort of thing happened in Pakistan etc.. there would be appeals on tv for bedding and god knows what.

If I lived in Gloucester and somebody shoved and envelope for another country under my nose I’d probably shove it up their **** or somethin!!

If I lived closer I’d help these poor sods.

aertis asked:

and the Palestinians were the ones responding by carpet bombing the Israelis [with planes and phosphorous gas] resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Israeli children in a matter of a couple of weeks, would people be using the same rhetoric they are presently using to justify Israel’s aggression?

In other words when the question is posed on this site “Is it just that so many Palestinian civilians have been killed by the Israeli army” the answer by commentators on this site is always “Well Hamas are sending rockets over” as if that somehow justifies the deaths.

So if it was the over way around and the Palestinians were trying to protect themselves from Israeli rocket fire by using tanks and planes and blanket bombing the Israelis – Would the killing of Israeli Jewish citizens in the hundreds within a two to three weeks period also be ay ok?

That seems to be the general consensus of some people here – completely refusing to care or justifying the deaths of children by pleading Hamas!

I have a feeling that if it was the other way round and the Palestinians were doing what Israel is doing at the moment [ i.e trying to garner worldwide support albeit unsuccessfully!!] then Israel would still plead that they are the innocents!
otto – I do agree with you. It is so very cunning of Israel to be an aggressor yet plead victimhood. Many people feel this strong sense that the world feels unable to speak out and say this as we all know what they would say in response – We would all have to reflect upon what was done in WWII even though many of us were not even born then. I fear that this future desire to lay guilt on non-Jewish people will permeate through future generations as a means of justifying the ills that Israel commits.
kinley 75 – No Israel would not send rockets over! Why send rockets when you can blanket bomb with planes. Rockes will only kill one or two people but planes can wipe out several generations. They are a far more effective killing machine for the Israelis!!!!
