That’s actually the tagline for the 2002 movie, The Ring.The Lebanese Army is working on a similar one along the lines of: pick up the phone that rings and you could rot in a Lebanese prison:
The Lebanese army is warning people not to respond to recorded phone messages asking for information about missing Israeli soldiers.
…
An army statement said Saturday that the messages were a violation of Lebanese sovereignty. It said any response would be considered “clear collaboration” with Israel.
"Cleaer collaboration" means a one-way ticket to military court. So be warned.
Of course there is a slight problem with the fact that these calls are originating from countries other than Israel, particularly the UK so you if you don’t have friends and family in London, I wouldn’t answer that phone. Unless its a potential recruiter, since you probably can’t find a decent job in Lebanon so you’ve flood every single country on the planet with your CV, and this just might be your lucky break. What do you do?!?
This is crazy – what do they care if people listen to a recorded message about the missing soldiers? Anyway, the soldiers aren’t missing anymore… their bodies have been returned. Unless they’re asking about information about Ron Arad or Gilad Schalit – but why would they phone people in Lebanon for that?
Israelimom, I believe it still has to do with Ron Arad – I don’t believe the Israeli government was satisfied with the Hezbollah’s evidence.
Angie, at the rate we are all going, probably never. Unless something dramatic happens, it is unlikely negotiations would lead to anything substantial.
wow..people sure do have a lot of time and money to be randomly calling numbers. i think its sad first that a person could just get in trouble for answering the phone.
second that another goverment would put innocent families at risk for becomeing collaberators, because they knew thats what would happen.
will there ever be a day when people can just live life in peace?…maybe not
