This Ongoing War..
29 October '12..
The ever-informative Elder of Ziyon blog has this report today on measures being taken by the Israel Defense Forces today to protect ordinary non-combatants on the far side of the fence in the wake of the round-the-clock rocket fire into Israel from Gaza.
Arabic media is reporting that the IDF has been dropping leaflets onto southern Gaza Monday morning warning residents to stay safe.
The flyers, spread from Rafah to Deir al Balah, tell Gazans to stay at least 300 meters away from the border with Israel. It also urges them to stay away from rocket launchers and terrorists. The leaflets say that the terror groups pose a threat to people's lives, their families, their children and their property. The papers further said that that terrorists are firing rockets from populated areas into Israel, saying it will pursue the launchers.
Pro-terror media outlets warned other Arab newspapers in the area - and even in Egypt - not to publish the text or images of the flyers, so as not to play into the hands of the IDF and to avoid having Gazans read the "lies" of the enemy.
Similarly, Hamas has been gathering up the warnings and burning them as fast as they can, ostensibly to reduce "confusion."
And, incidentally, the entire concept of human shields doesn't work as well when the shields refuse to play along.
The IDF has used a variety of additional means in the past [examples here] to go over the heads of the Hamas regime and warn ordinary Palestinian Arab Gazans of the dangers they face as human shields for the jihadists.

Our children are not to be used as cannon fodder- this behavior requires extremely harsh measures.What do we do when we live amongst those who are completely intolerant. What do we do when we are faced with those who loath us, fear us, and are armed to the teeth philosophically, religiously, and physically? Is a peace possible? Peace agreements, truces are a bargaining chip to the Arabs, allowing them to buy time until they have the ultimate strength to fulfill the ultimate goal- extermi

In war, only one side can win. The only thing preventing the Jewish people from winning is fear- a shadow ,of fear of world opinion. And if this is the case, then "they" have won.
If we have bought the program, the lies, then we are sunk. If not, then we need to stop justifying why our actions are necessary. Pursuit of life, liberty and happiness is a natural right.
