In answer to some questions we have received over the last week, or since the inception of the project, we have the following to say:

This project is HUMANITARIAN in nature.

The tangible goal we seek to reach is to raise funds to aid in the medical assistance, feeding and sheltering of people which the International Committee of the Red Cross is overseeing, REGARDLESS of their position in the conflict.

The tragedy stemming from the loss of life and the hundred of thousands of displaced is affecting the whole region, Israelis, Lebanese and Palestinians (in alphabetical order).

It is absolutely LUDICROUS and RIDUCULOUS to even think that one life is worth more than another.

The International Committee of the Red Cross works in association with the national offices of the Red Cross, national offices of the Red Crescent, and the national offices of Magen David Adom in the respective countries they operate in.

Due to logistic reasons and an increased need in the aid operations in Lebanon, the Lebanese Red Cross and the Lebanese Red Crescent asked for the assistance of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Although offered, Magen David Adom in Israel and the Red Crescent in Palestine have declined the assistance of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

We understand the extent of a possible backlash to this statement.

This conflict is just another event in a chain reaction that has left a whole region living in fear of their neighbor! True terror is living in fear of continual potential threat from any entity toward any entity. This project does not promote terror or fear.

We, the team members of this project, stand up for the weak and the humanitarian aspect of this conflict. If you do not agree that unbiased help is needed and that a new perspective, a human perspective, has to emerge from this conflict, then so be it.

But we, the team members of this project, believe and act upon our belief in the human cause. The basic needs of shelter, food and security are primordial to humans, long before democracy, religion and financial well being.

We understand that it is utopian to believe we can achieve this by selling a map. But if the map can help, then we are doing what is in our power to aid.

We appeal to you to understand that our cause is an unbiased HUMANITARIAN effort.
