Ministry of Health report on toxic Israeli weapons confirmed by Gaza City

[Tempest]

Director of Public Relations at Gaza City’s Al Shifa Hospital, Dr. Juma Al Sakka, confirmed the Palestinian Ministry of Health’s report from earlier this week which stated that Israeli forces are using toxic weapons in the Gaza Strip.

Dr. Al Sakka told Voice of Palestine Radio that the Israeli army is using new types of non-conventional weapons against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during the recent attacks. He said, “They are targeting the Palestinian body with unconventional weapons and with that comes a phenomena we have not seen before in any Israeli bombardment we have lived through for many years.”

He continued, “The hospital is central and sees almost all cases of injuries and deaths as a result of Israeli against the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip. These Israeli bombings are entering the body and fragmenting, causing internal combustion leading to up to fourth degree internal burns, exposing the bone, and affecting the tissue and skin.”

The doctor added, “These tissues die, they do not survive, which obliges us to perform arm or leg amputations, and there are fragments which penetrate the body and do not show up on X-rays. When entering the body they spark like a combustion firearm, but not chemically. They seem radioactive.”

1. yes, I posted an article about this a few days ago - war crime

10. There is no such thing as a war crime if Israel does it.

3. perhaps the UN should send representatives to the hospital - if indeed

this is true it is a war crime, no?

4. If they ARE radioactive it should be a simple matter to identify isotopes

Likewise if a toxic chemical or bio agent is being used they should be able to very quickly get a ballpark identification.

This story doesn't pass the Smell Test.

[whistle]

5. Holy shit, IDF is using the tactical nuclear weapons Bush gave them

[slackmaster]

7. Eh?

:wtf:

11. Better wait for more information

Hysterics does not help, just confuses the situation. Let the UN Experts check it out.

6. And the whole world looks the other way.

9. Welcome to DU.

This sounds gruesome.

8. Oh noes!

This must be that zionist death magic... bullets that dissappear after they enter the body! Old man jenkins in a ghost costume! Dammit people, Israel has enough ways of killing people, it doesn't need magic kryptonite bullets.

13. It's Israel's secret alien flying saucer torture chambers

as reported by the Director of Public Relations in Gaza!

And we all know exactly how fair and balanced he'd be! Get with the program.
The eeeeeviil Zionist flying saucers, at President Bushes behest, also were responsible for 9/11! Wheeeeeee!!!!!! :crazy:

(phew - I think I'm finally getting the hang of how to have opinions acceptable enough to not be deleted on the D.U.)

12. This is the hospital that carefully removed all the shrapnel

from the Gaza (extended) family wounded/killed on the beach.

With a description ("When entering the body they spark like a combustion firearm, but not chemically. They seem radioactive.") which seems to indicate a lack of information about radioactivity; or perhaps it's so badly translated that the meaning is a Rohrshach test.

Perhaps he has in mind small quantities of rubidium, or a radioactive isotope of potassium. But then delivery would be a problem.

Rather like the mysterious sustance that burned not clothing, but only when immersed in water, and was oddly labelled white phosphorus contrary to all the standard properties of white phosphorus. So now the Palestinians are so convinced the Jews are superior that they even have their own chemistry and physics. Perhaps the Elders so cleverly revealed in the ever-so-truthy Protocols are behind this.

Is Palestine.

And the discussion of Zionism for what it is -- exactly as we are witnessing right now -- a secular, racist political movement, characterized by expansionism and militarism , is going to have to happen online, because neither the mainstream press nor mainstream politicians will touch it with a ten-foot pole... even when it is piling up more bodies as it leads the world into a regional disaster.

Let's just get something out of the way right up front, before I go any further. Zionism is not Judaism; being Jewish does not make anyone Zionist; and anti-Zionism is not equivalent to anti-Semitism.

It is now well past time for the United States to withdraw all rogue state, Israel; though that is unlikely to happen without a movement to make it happen, because the US is now effectively the biggest and most dangerous rogue state on the planet.

Democrats won't touch this issue for the same reason they avoid that other P-Word, Prison. They are as complict in the incarceration of 2 million people here -- mostly of color -- as they are in the continuing support of the terror state of Israel.

So let's just talk briefly about what Zionism actually is, and get away from the mythology promoted by and AIPAC.
