Israel Testing Nasty Weapons in Gaza, claims Medic.

www.news.com.au

The two medics, who were sent into the war zone by the pro-Palestinian aid organisation NORWAC on December 31, said they had seen clear signs that Dense Inert Metal Explosives (DIME), an experimental kind of explosive, were being used in Gaza.

"This is a new generation of very powerful small explosives that detonates with an extreme power and dissipates its power within a range of five to 10 metres," Mr Gilbert, 61, said.

Once again stories are surfacing of questionable methods being used by Israel in its war against the Gazans. In 2006 there were stories of unusual cluster bombs that burned their targets and left behind a translucent or plastic shapnel. Accusations of DIME weapons being used go back to the 2006 war in Gaza and Lebanon.

DIME is an LCD (”low collateral damage”) weapon developed at the US Air Force Research Laboratory. Publicly, it is slated for initial deployment in 2008. DIME bombs produce an unusually powerful blast within a relatively small area, spraying a superheated “micro-shrapnel” of powdered Heavy Metal Tungsten Alloy (HMTA). Scientific studies have found that HMTA is chemically toxic, damages the immune system, rapidly causes cancer, and attacks DNA (genotoxic).(4-11)

We all know there'll be plenty of people on these boards ripping this statement to shreds, calling them and us "Hamas supporters", while refusing to accept the widespread proven statements of Israel committing war crimes.

They can't help it.

They have little defense but to ridicule and try to refute every claim, proven or otherwise. The only way they manage to sleep at night is by actually believing that the IDF and Israel are acting in the "defense of the Israeli people", and anything that makes them question this belief is a threat to them.

No evidence, no discussion, no international condemnation will prove to them that they are wrong. Why? Because that would force them to accept that they have been defending a monster. And that they were wrong all along.

This report doesn't surprise me. I'll wait until I see clear evidence, but nothing Israel and the IDF do surprises me anymore.

I actually used to support Israel. I used to accept that they were suffering and had a right to defend themselves.
That was before I woke up and saw Israel for what it really is. I discovered the truth through free information and substantiated evidence rather than propaganda. And I was horrified at what I saw, and currently see.

They're just following the US's "bully justice" apparently. Those home-made rockets really need to be countered the way Israel's doing it huh? Sounds like a fair fight doesn't it? *Sarcasm alert* Give me a break, the Russians where doing less then we gave the Taliban guns and rockets to fight them, so what's the difference now? Oh wait that's right, we aided both sides and now are screwed...

Here's Ron Paul talking about just that:


Oh btw, those who say "it's war, so whatever, blahblahblah"

Go fight in it then. Or maybe you'd have a different opinion if it was your son, daughter, niece, brother, sister, mother, father who's just got their legs cut of and are now going to die from it.

So what is everyone who supports this kind of action saying? Anything short of a full nuclear & full on biological exchange is okay? stu-pid!

I wouldn't be surprised if they where also using "depleted Uranium slugs".... FACT: fully depleted uranium is LEAD. So whatever they're firing is lead mixed with still radioactive elements(it's more dense, hence the armor piercing properties) it's just not strong enough to be used as fuel anymore...great way to get rid of waste without the environmentalists on your ass huh?!

White Phosphorous and cluster bombs? Is that your claim?

Show me where they've been used in the urban areas of Gaza against civilians.

Cluster bombs are fantastic area weapons in open country, but hardly worth a damn in an urban environment. HE is much more effective, and especially with delayed fusing.

White phosphorous artillery rounds exist, I suppose bombs exist, grenades exist, as are countermeasures for SAMS, and of course illumination rounds.

You show me one White Phosphorous bomb used in Gaza.

Do your homework, and for God's sake, do not mistake a WP countermeasure usage by an aircraft.

You do know the difference, don't you?

Show me!

And even if you show me, which you can't - it doesn't matter. It is all legal to use. Inefficient as hell in an urban environment, but legal.

Smoke that.
