It Is Either The Enemy Or You, Choose!

A sovereign nation in which its sole purpose is to destroy your nation emerges as your next door neighbor. What do you do? Do you try reason? Tried reason before your neighbor experienced sovereignty - it did not work. So what is next? The reality is your existence VS their existence. What do you do? You legitimately protect yourself by engaging in the rules of self-preservation. Each neighbor that cannot reach a mutual peaceful compromise must rise against the other. The intent: to destroy the capability of your enemy to destroy you. Wake Up Israel! Change the strategy and drive your enemy out and take your Land back! If you don't, your enemy will do the same to you.

IDF: Hamas leaders are legitimate targets

'Israel has no legal obligation to provide humanitarian aid'

A refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist and the Palestinian Authority's continued support of terror activity has granted the IDF the legal right to target and strike the Hamas leadership, a member of the IDF General Staff told The Jerusalem Post this week."

This new reality, in which the PA supports terror, does not prevent terror and does not recognize Israel's right to exist can legally allow for diplomatic and operational decisions that were not made in the past," the officer said. Hamas's refusal to recognize previous agreements, including the Oslo Accords, signed by Israel and the PA constituted a "severe breach of contract" and placed the entire Palestinian leadership on the same footing as a terror group.

The officer said that there was also no reason for Israel to declare war on the Palestinian Authority since international law worked on a de facto basis and once "the PA does not stop terror, it is infected with terror... and becomes a side to the conflict just like terror groups are sides to the conflict." Israel, he added, would be legally allowed to strike and kill Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh if there was evidence that he engaged in and supported anti-Israel terror activity.

If Prime Minister designate Ehud Olmert adopted this legal thinking, the officer said, Israel would be allowed to cut off all ties with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and would be exempt from responsibility for the humanitarian developments there. "We don't have to legally take care of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip," he said. In contrast, the military control over the West Bank obligates Israel to care for the Palestinian population there, the officer added.

Meanwhile, after Israel released five Hamas loyalists from prison following the January Palestinian parliamentary elections, all five received positions in the Hamas government. One is Education Minister and Vice Prime Minister, one is Finance Minister, and another is Minister of Local Affairs. The two other prisoners are now representatives in parliament.
