Electronic Intifada has a sample of the leaflets being dropped on Gaza encouraging its residents to snitch on any “terrorists”. They even called up the hotline to play a bit of a prank. The recording is actually worth listening to, and if you don’t understand the broken-Arabic you can read the transcript in English also on EI. This is probably my favorite part:
EI: So what’s your name?
Israeli officer: I’m Abu Ibrahim.
EI: So you don’t want to give me your name?
Israeli officer: And you, you too don’t want to …
EI: As far as the Israelis are concerned all Arabs are called Ahmad or Muhammad so what’s the difference?
Israeli officer: So you want to know my full name, if I asked you your full name … let me say a few words to you. Look, I’m a Jew and I’m from the Israeli Defense Forces. But unlike you, my great, great, great grandfathers were all born here, going back thousands of years. We never left the country. You Palestinians have never been a nation. The Palestinians settled here recently, only a short time ago. What’s that got to do with me?
EI: Ok, the person who wants to help the people of Gaza talks like that about the Palestinians? You deny their existence?
Israeli officer: Look, I’ll tell you …
Ali rocks thanks for the link
That was brilliant. Thanks for that.
Even in war there is something to laugh about and this one is just amazing.
thanks for that, I will call for some fun 🙂
nice one…
Let’s jam thier phone lines!
Loved it. Fantastic.
Brilliant!
I never understood why this continues to be an issue. No one is stopping their rockets and each side is saying “they started it.”
The truth is, neither side is GOING ANYWHERE.
LIVE WITH IT!
I know, it’s not fair, blah blah blah. BUT countries don’t just “leave” lol
Kyle,
Once noting that, solution starts.
Especially by Europeans who an integral part of their prosperity was built by imperialism and colonization.
Stop saying Israel Say IsraHell , in you writing , chat , talk , conversations and artwork .
we lunched this campaign , to show the world how illegal israhell is .
Please write an Article , POST , make an Artwork about this new name of IsraHell .
Please forward the message and say IsraHell .
That was hilarious….we should give out the phone number, let the whole of the Middle East and the world jam their phone lines.
And Kyle, guess what? Things change. Would you have told South African activists that the Apartheid state “was not going any where”? What about Jews during the Nazi era?
It is the right of occupied peoples to resist their oppressors, and the duty of the rest of the world to aid them in their resistance. Free Palestine!
