UNICEF likes form letters
UNICEF responded to my last set of comments. Amazingly, the letter is exactly the same as the one received on July 28th; with one notable difference. I now have a name, and email address.
My response:
This is the exact same message sent to me on July 28th when I challenged Mr. Lyons' initial message. On July 31st, he sent another message. My challenge to UNICEF, I believe, could not be more clear:On both sides of the border, children are killed, placed in harm's way, and displaced. We can argue until we are blue in the face about fault; but UNICEF has done a very poor job of highlighting the plight of Israeli children. I do not care whether UNICEF is going to send even one penny to Israel; but every time UNICEF sends out a message decrying the plight of Lebanese children, UNICEF participates in the media war, and chooses the side of Hizb'allah against Israel -- that is, to make Israel appear as an aggressor nation.
What is UNICEF going to do about this? Are you going to monitor the children in Israel, and ensure that aid agencies are taking care of children there? Are you going to direct donors who are interested in helping Israeli children to the One Family Fund, or Le'eman Achai?
