Funny, I was predicting war yesterday, and here it is. >>Hamas urges foreigners leave Israel for own safety (UPDATE) Jerusalem Post ^ \| Jun. 12, 2003 \| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Posted on 06/12/2003 9:22 AM EDT by yonif In a new threat, the Islamic [terrorist] group Hamas said Thursday it has ordered "all military cells" to take immediate action and carry out more attacks on Israelis. The group also urged foreigners to leave Israel for their own safety. Hamas has threatened bloody revenge for Israel's attempt earlier this week to kill one of its leaders, Abdel Aziz Rantisi. The Hamas co-founder and pediatrician escaped with minor injuries from an Israeli helicopter missile strike. On Wednesday, a Hamas bomber blew himself up on a Jerusalem bus, killing 16 people and wounding more than 70. Hamas said in a statement Thursday that more attacks would follow. The bus bombing "is the beginning of a new series of attacks and part of a bill the Zionists must pay," a Hamas statement said. "We call upon all foreigners to evacuate the Zionist entity immediately in order to protect their lives," Hamas said. "We call on all military cells to act immediately and act like an earthquake to blow up the Zionist entity and tear it to pieces."<< freerepublic.com Sorry for the link to Free Republic, I can't access the Jerusalem Post directly via Opera, and refuse to open up another browser just for that one site. BTW, I didn't think of the war idea all on my own. I chatted with a young Muslim law student (Egyptian - wearing a head scarf) during a break from a CLE on Tuesday (Continuing Legal Education class). We were talking about Israel/Palestine, and she said there would be a war, all out war, because men are running things. I told her that she was probably right, but that at the end of the war, things will be settled about the same as they would have been without the war. That seemed to take her by surprise but she couldn't disagree. Good thing we have a lot of men and materiel already in the area, we may need it. Oh, and not needing the Saudis? Priceless.
