Media in Denmark, Norway and Sweden these days are advertising for Red Cross, Save the Child and similar organisations.
Their ads are very alike “Help the Middle East” they say.
I have been digging for a couple of days, writing to the organisations, reading their ads and their home-pages.
And it’s the same all over. They seem to hide the fact that the aid is for Lebanon only - no aid for Israel.
I wrote to Danish Red Cross, and their answer is: We have contacted Israeli Red Star of David and they don’t need any help.
This I have written to the Israeli Embassy in Copenhagen to get a confirmation.
Another thing is - nobody in Denmark is paying a dime to the the organisations - and they say - “it’s because no danes are involved” or “nobody saw the ads”. Okay its vacation now, but in my opinion it is in danish “thank you for the last time” the danes have not forgotten the burning of ‘Dannebrog’ and the embassies.
I’m following this tightly.
Summary of all correspondance in danish.

Israel turned down help?
Could we get Israel's word on that?
Oh brother.
I am sorry to hear that things are going this way over there in your territory. Happy to hear the Danes are resisting.
I'm also waiting to hear from someone who knows about Israel.
Maybe Avi will come by and fill us in.
Heard today: the whole danish nation have given US$ 150 :-)
I think that is voting with your money.
