Kind Regards, The State of Israel. posted by Richard Seymour
Via Angry Arab, Israel's leaflet promising massacres and translation:It reads:
To the Lebanese citzens residing south of the Litani River
Read this document with full comprehension and do as it orders.
The IDF will escalate its activities and will hit with the most excessive force terrorist elements that uses you as human shields and fires rockets/missiles from inside your houses in the direction of the state of Israel.
Every car including any type that moves south of the Litani river will be bombed because it is suspected in transporting rockets/missiles and military and ruining equipment.
It is your duty to do so as every person in any car is placing their life in danger.
State of Israel
The fact that this promise, apparently in very poor Arabic, comes with the usual obscene lies is intended to be disablingly infuriating. Israel knows very well that Hezbollah is not using the civilian population as human shields. Everyone who receives one of those leaflets knows it, and they know therefore that when their house is flattened under tonnes of explosives this hideous lie will be trotted out with all the predictability of a Tom Clancy novel. They must be having a cackle about that back at Tel Aviv.
