Gaza, Al-Watan, September 27, 2005 -- Israeli warplanes last night dropped thousands of leaflets directed at residents of the Gaza Strip. This is the the text of the Israeli army statement:
To the residents of the northern Gaza Strip:
The terrorist actions originating from your areas are forcing the Israel Defense Forces to respond harshly to those who are subjecting the citizens of the State of Israel to danger.
We call on the Palestinian Authority to shoulder its responsibility to prevent these criminal acts.
We warn you of the danger of remaining in the areas which are being used to launch terrorist actions and we advise you to leave your homes. We are not responsible for the consequences if you ignore our warning.
Israel Defense Forces
The Israel Defense Forces which are ignoring the Geneva Convention Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War act but on the other hand I can't say I blame them. I mean you have a country that is surrounded by opposition, is always under a state of fear of terrorist attack and THEY STILL refuse to move. I can't imagine the balls on the inhabitants that will deal with that kinda fear.
I mean look at it real close, they just made a peace accord and moved the Jewish people out of the settlements in Gaza. Look at what the Palestinian people do, they burn the left behind Jewish Temples. Come on that is unnecessary, if not down right cruel. Those building could have been used for something not wasted in an act of defiance. These people are not just cruel and petty, but they are also horrible to perpetrate acts of terrorism on innocent women, men, and children. I think it is about time that Israel stopped playing nice and just dropped the gauntlet and whooped some butt.
