| Israel Used New Weapon In Gaza, According To Italian TV | ||
| 2006-10-11 | ||
Rome, 11 Oct. (AKI) - Israel may have used an experimental weapon against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, causing especially serious physical injuries, such as amputated limbs and severe burns, according to an investigative report to be aired Wednesday on Italian state television.
The weapon which is similar to one developed by the US military, known as DIME, causes a powerful and lethal blast, but only within a relatively small radius, Haaretz said.
The Italian Rai News 24 report is based on eyewitness accounts of medical doctors in the Strip, as well as tests carried out in an Italian laboratory. The investigative team is the same one that exposed, several months ago, the use by US forces in Iraq of phosphorous bombs, against Iraqi rebels in Faluja. The investigation, by Rai News 24, follows reports by Gaza-based doctors of inexplicably serious injuries. The doctors reported an exceptionally large number of wounded who lost legs, of completely burned bodies and injuries unaccompanied by metal shrapnel. Some of the doctors also claimed that they removed particles from wounds that could not be seen in an X-ray machine. | ||

| #21 Wow .com, that's a really mean scenario you play out in your link from #15! (works for me BTW) ;) Thing is, there are plenty of ELE's around - my 'favourite', gamma-ray burster within, say, 1000 light years - badda-bing! Yup, plenty of dumb-ass stuff going on around the world - and a shedload of it comes from the most ungrateful, psychopathic, worthless people on the planet - the Paleos. I reckon we're living in 'The Crazy Years'. |

| #20 I got a piece of melanite in the back of my hand in Vietnam. It finally worked itself out seven years later. It was a piece from some equipment that got blown to bits by an NVA mortar shell. It never showed up on x-rays, either. What's the bleeding point? The Paleos are fighting a war against Israel. Anything the Israelis use that isn't specifically banned is not a Geneva War Convention violation. As the paleos not only haven't signed the convention, but routinely violate it, anything that happens to them, regardless of what it is, is "commensurate". Kill them all and they'll stop. |

| #17 Damn! Just when I'm finishing up the design for my Infrared High Explosive Armor Piercing Heat Seeking Depleted Uranium White Phosphorus Napalm Hollow Point Flame Thrower Cluster Bomb Munition, they throw this in. Back to the drawing board... I'll take ten cases in .308 /125 grains please. With them, you kill Bambi, AND you cook him at the same time. |

| #15 Spot on, Tony (UK). So much bullshit, obvious lying with media collaboration, pussy-footing around, half-measures - or outright running away from problems, death by a thousand cuts shit going on in the world, mostly in the name of "stability" and other absurdities. Fuck it. |

| #11 Israel may have used an experimental weapon against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, causing especially serious physical injuries, such as amputated limbs and severe burns Amputated limbs? Severe burns? The Palestinians already do this to themselves without any Jewish help. They just use bomb belts instead. |

| #9 Maybe if the same 'victim' had been hit by the usual ordnance he wouldn't have had inexplicably serious injuries This is correct. They would have been dead and there would have been no investigation and therefore nothing mysterious! But now, alas, their society has to take care of an amputee. They probably don't like that. Not only will they do a poor job, they are complaining about it to boot. I figure it's either one or the other, not both. I also figure if you hit them hard enough in this regard, leaving plenty of examples in plain sight of why you don't engage in terrorism, it may actually help. In a normal society. In this society though, it may well lead to increased seething. |

| #8 "reports by Gaza-based doctors of inexplicably serious injuries." Maybe if the same 'victim' had been hit by the usual ordnance he wouldn't have had inexplicably serious injuries - it would have been totally expected that there were no pieces larger than a golf ball. |

| #7 So the Zionists are dropping smaller bombs to reduce colateral damage? Is there no limit to the depths to which the Evil Joos(tm) will sink? Smaller bombs, indeed. If they had any humanity all all, instead of bombs, they would drop giant Stay-Puft marshmallows and then hand out lollipops to anyone who was frightened. The poor oppressed Palestinians only want to engage in their traditional folkloric activities of seething, gun sex and jew-killing. note: certain (banned?) land mines are made of plastic and produce fragments that do not show up well in x-rays. I assume that is what the 'invisible particles' bit is hinting at. In all honesty, I don't believe Stay-Puft marshmallows show up on x-rays either. |

| #6 Some of the doctors also claimed that they removed particles from wounds that could not be seen in an X-ray machine. Some of the Israeli doctors also say that they removed particles from wounds that could not be seen in an X-ray machine. The "particles" are shards of glass carefully packed into the bomb belts of the shahids, placed there to inflict as much carnage as possible. |

| #5 And the bombs are filled with bacon!!!! |

| #4 a powerful and lethal blast, but only within a relatively small radius wait a second. isn't this better than "a powerful and lethal blast over a large radius?" doesn't this, in fact, address all the complaints levied against Israel about collateral damage? Won't this simply target the bad guys and leave civilians alone? Or is this another case of "disproportionate" use of force. People who shoot rockets that land in empty fields, yet sent to kill as many people as possible, are still worthy of being killed. It seems the prevailing wisdom is that if no Israelis get killed (even though that was fully the intent), Israel shouldn't be allowed to kill the perpetrators. As far as gaza-based doctors not being able to explain the injuries, perhaps they're just lousy doctors. Get a Jewish doctor ;o) But frankly, I agree with the others.... it's mostly BS. |

By the way, the "phosphorous-bombs-against-innocent-civilians" meme (with its implied notions of the USA using what supposedly abounds to chemical weapons, hence to WMD) was very interesting, in that it exposed the self-referential nature of the left's propaganda. One subsection of the Vast Leftwing Conspiracy uncovers it, it is confirmed because other leftist media report it, and from then, it is used as background material for further discoveries. |

| #1 Some of the doctors also claimed that they removed particles from wounds that could not be seen in an X-ray machine. Geez, even non-techno geeks can see through this one. What would "see" these particles, then? An electron microscope? In Gaza? Give me a farkin' break. |
