Abstract
First paragraph: One of the most alarming aspects of Israel’s recent incursions into the West Bank was its refusal to grant delegates of the International Committee of the Red Cross access to the Palestinian areas until long after its bulldozers, tanks and troops had begun their gruesome work. To many outside observers, Israel’s treatment of the ICRC epitomized the alarming turn in Israeli attitudes at the time, and the disdain Sharon’s government seemed to show towards the wishes of the international community. As Dominque-D. Junod shows in her excellent book, The Imperiled Red Cross, Israel’s suspicion of this apparently revered institution is by no means new. The ICRC’s ?first foray into this tangled conflict was every bit as challenging as its most recent.
