The Foreign Office advises all UK citizens to leave the West Bank and Gaza 'while exit routes remain open'. It has been evident for some time that Sharon and the Israeli Zionist state will use the cover of the escalation of war on Iraq to launch another, perhaps far greater offensive against the Palestinian people, just as they have used the 'war on terror' to increase the assault on the occupied territories and carry out a daily genocide against the Palestinians. It is likely that, once the war begins in earnest, when the bombs which have been dropping for 12 years are multiplied and the troops enter Iraq to further murder it's people, devastated by over a decade of sanctions, the Israeli state will close the borders and do the same to the Palestinians.
