#1 Another LLL flapping his lips about DU, a substance about as hazardous as lead. Best precaution is to stop being a terrorist and the IDF will stop trying to kill you!

#2 Here's a link to WHO's report on DU. DU is less radioactive than normal U, and it seems the primary health effect is kidney damage due to its toxicity (not radioactivity; cancer is a long-term effect of exposure to a carcinogen, typically over many years). Finally, DU is used in anti-armor ordnance, not anti-personnel ordnance.
Yasshole is clearly on the edge. Let's give him a push.

#4 I do know that many individuals are susceptible to allergic reactions from bullets. Whenever they get shot, they get these large, red, round holes in their bodies.

#8 On the other hand, I think we'd have a lot to blame the Israelis for if these bullets ARE contributing to a rising cancer rate: it means they're only wounding their targets.

#9 Oh, so poor ol' Yasser is worried about cancer and radiation? Someone tell him that gathering up all the DU fragments and putting it all together can produce a core for a working nuclear bomb. Watch them clean it all up in a really big hurry. Then monitor their communcations to see who Arafart tries to sell the lump of DU to.
