The Palestinian Authority Tuesday urged the international community to interfere with Israel to stop the "brutal massacre" in Rafah.
"The Palestinian leadership calls on al the world countries, the US, the Quartet, the Arab brothers, the European Union and the UN Security Council to stop this big brutal massacre decided by the Israeli government," said a statement issued by PA Chairman Yasser Arafat's office.
"The Israeli government's goal is to destroy Rafah and its refugee camps and to displace their residents," the statement charged. "So will the world remain silent in the face of this crime of genocide and displacement?"
The statement vowed that the Palestinians "would not give up their lands and surrender to the occupiers."
PA officials strongly condemned the IDF operation and warned that it would lead to a new cycle of violence. Fatah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad threatened to retaliate by killing Israeli soldiers and civilians.
PA Minister for Negotiations Saeb Erekat accused Israel of perpetrating "war crimes" in Rafah.
"We condemn these war crimes which are continuing in Rafah and urge the US Administration and the Quartet to put pressure on Israel to stop them," Erekat said in an interview with Voice of Palestine from Spain.
Erekat said the PA was holding "extensive contacts" with several countries to persuade them to act immediately to stop the IDF operation in Rafah.
"We call upon the whole world to immediately intervene to block Israel's military escalation," Erekat added.
Speaking to reporters in Ramallah, Arafat's media advisor Nabil Abu Rudeineh called the offensive a "war of annihilation" and a "humanitarian disaster." He also called for outside intervention to stop "these massacres."
Abu Rudeineh appealed to the international community and the UN Security Council "to urgently intervene to stop these massacres and destructions."
Of course there's no "brutal massacre" when Jewish women are murdered at gunpoint and their bellies are sprayed with bullets to make sure unborn Jews do not emerge alive into the world. This is the kind of Orwellian double-talk we've come to expect from the Middle East's principal terrorist regime.
"PA officials strongly condemned the IDF operation and warned that it would lead to a new cycle of violence."
A cycle of violence? Every time we try to forge peace over there, PA terrorists start blowing up Israelis again. That's not a cycle.
Go Jews. Wipe the b@st@rds out. Fight the war like the old days. I want none of this hand-wringing crap from the EU and American Democraps.
Nope! Three cheers for the IDF! Wipe these scumbags out and when you are done bury the bodies under 100 feet of dirt. Deep down they are OK.

The PA talking points will be reported as news on Wednesday, on ABC...etc.
U.N.: Israel must immediately cease all actions in Rafah.
TRANSLATION: We must stop Israel to give Hamas a chance to regroup and kill more Jewish mothers with their daughters at point-blank range.
When it comes to war crimes and unjustified violence in the MidEast--it's a unicycle not a bicycle. We all know who's riding the the unicycle of violence in that respect.
Let's make this simple...It's Jeningrad 2.
