As the Israeli war machine pounds Lebanon and Gaza, concern is mounting over Israeli use of mystery cluster bombs.
"WHEN the bomb exploded from the plane I felt I was in hell, real hell," shouts 31-year-old Ghassan stabbing the air with his finger and
straining over the side of his grubby hospital bed.
What better way to punish their heathen neighbours than for Israel to use weapons that give them a taste of damnation.
Doctors say they have never before seen such specific burn injuries, concentrated so much on the lower body and causing such a high propensity of
amputations. The Health Ministry has already called for an independent inquiry.
Women, children, the elderly...
Justification for the "strong arm" response to the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers is difficult enough. The slaughter of approximately 400
civilians (so far) and the indiscriminate (or is it?) bombing of Lebanon is nigh impossible to defend.
But this:
"There were amputations of limbs. Most patients were afflicted below the waist. They had burns all over their lower limb," he said.
Others were afflicted by what he described as "translucent shrapnel not shown by X-ray" that caused burns.
Translucent shrapnel?
Thank you Israel for showing the world yet more brutal and savage ways to wage a war.
