David Deri, makes the point that only Sephardi children received the x-rays. “I was in class and the men came to take us on a tour. They asked our names. The Ashkenazi children [descendents of European Jews] were told to return to their seats. The dark children were put on the bus.” A Moroccan woman: “It was a Holocaust, a Sephardi Holocaust. And what I want to know is why no one stood up to stop it.”
The film presents a historian who declares that the ringworm operation was a eugenics program aimed at weeding out what Ashkenazi leaders perceived to be the “weak strains of society”. Running Rings Around the Victims, by Aryeh Dayan, says that the ringworm radiation campaign lasted until 1960.

Gadassi was born in 1950 in Moshav Shtulim, to parents who had come to Israel a year earlier from Yemen. She says that in the summer of 1957 all the children of the moshav were taken to Haifa, on the pretext that they were going to a summer camp. "A large truck picked us up. On the way to Haifa we sang and played happily, but the moment we arrived at the Sha'ar Ha'aliyah camp, near Haifa, the abuse began. They took us into the clinic, smeared some substance on our heads, pulled out all our hair and gave us radiation treatments. We returned home bald and bruised, both physically and emotionally."

The Ringworm Children - A Review by Barry Chamish
On August 14, at 9 PM, Israeli television station, Channel Ten, broke all convention and exposed the ugliest secret of Israel's Labor Zionist founders; the deliberate mass radiation poisoning of nearly all Sephardi Jews.
The expose began with the presentation of a documentary film called, The Ringworm Children, and concluded with a panel discussion moderated by TV host Dan Margalit, surprising because he is infamous for toeing the establishment line.
Subject: In 1951, the director general of the Israeli Health Ministry, Dr. Chaim Sheba flew to America and returned with 7 x-ray machines, supplied to him by the American army. They were to be used in a mass atomic experiment with an entire generation of Sephardic youths to be used as guinea pigs. Every Sephardic child was to be given 35,000 times the maximum dose of x-rays through his head.
For doing so, the American government paid the Israeli government 300 million Israeli liras a year. The entire Health budget was 60 million liras. The money paid by the Americans is equivalent to billions of dollars today. To fool the parents of the victims, the children were taken away on "school trips" and their parents were later told the x-rays were a treatment for the scourge of scalpal ringworm. 6,000 of the children died shortly after their doses were given, while many of the rest developed cancers that killed them over time and are still killing them now. While living, the victims suffered from disorders such as epilepsy, amnesia, Alzheimer's disease, chronic headaches and psychosis.
Looking up the lethal dose (L.D. 50/30) death-rate of X-rays for humans is 250 - 300 rads. That means, if the children were given 500 to 600 times the maximum dose, 50% of the children would have died within 30 days. At 35,000 times the maximum yearly dose, the doctor, technicians and all the children would have been dead before the end of the month. This 6,000 figure is completely bogus or the maximum dose is bogus..
Yes, that is the subject of the documentary in cold terms. It is another matter to see the victims on the screen. ie. To watch the Moroccan lady describe what getting 35,000 times the dose of allowable x-rays in her head feels like. "I screamed make the headache go away. Make the headache go away. Make the headache go away. But it never went away."
That's strange... The effects of x-rays or any other radiation poisoning take a few hours at the speediest and days and weeks later normally.. Obviously the documentary crew did not have a radiation expert handy. Someone has watched too many science fiction films. Be aware that the skin does not have receptors that sense radiation exposure. No matter how large a radiation dose a person receives, there is no sensation at the time the dose is delivered... It has been reported that some people who have received extremely large doses have felt a tingling in the skin... However, the tingling is due to static charge at the skin surface rather than the direct sensation of radiation exposure.... No one can actually feel pain from X-rays until much, much later; and that pain is not from the X-rays themselves but from the damage to the tissues that occurs much later. All this "Make the headache go away" is a complete fabrication - it cannot have happened.
OK, let us assume Moroccan children can handle large doses of x-rays without dying..... According to the medical literature 500 to 600 rem (or 1,000 times max dose) will sterilize you (and kill 35% of the victims after 30 days)... That means there could not have been the next generation, and certainly this woman would never have had any children..
Everyone notices that Sephardic women in their fifties today, often have sparse patchy hair, which they try to cover with henna. Most of us assumed it was just a characteristic of Sephardic women. We watch the woman on the screen wearing a baseball-style hat. She places a picture of a lovely young teenager with flowing black hair opposite the lens. "That was me before my treatment. Now look at me." She removes her hat. Even the red henna can't cover the horrifying scarred bald spots.
It is quite disingenuous to take an observable cultural trait, that almost all Sephardic women dye their hair with henna, and give it a sinister purpose. Henna is used in almost all countries from the Atlantic coast of Africa to Malaysia and among Muslims and Non-Muslims not just Jews. There are even henna parties and events. Sephardic women use henna because of tradition, not because they need to hide the effects of radiation poisoning. It is a millennium-old tradition. Saying they do this only in Israel because of X-ray exposure is patently absurd. Anyone familiar with the Middle-East knows about Henna Parties.
The majority of the victims were Moroccan because they were the most numerous of the Sephardic immigrants. The generation that was poisoned became the country's perpetual poor and criminal class. It didn't make sense. The Moroccans who fled to France became prosperous and highly educated. The common explanation was that France got the rich, thus smart ones. The real explanation is that every French Moroccan child didn't have his brain cells fried with gamma rays.
Just a technical point: to be accurate, the term gamma ray is used to denote electromagnetic radiation from the nucleus as a part of a radioactive process. Simply stated, gamma rays do not come from x-ray machines. In addition, unlike optical light and X-rays, gamma rays cannot be captured and reflected in mirrors.
Also, Moroccans are the most numerous of the Sephardi immigrants today. But not in 1951. The director/researcher here did not do his research. The assumption that because there are about 700,000 Moroccan Jews in Israel today, representing the largest proportion of Sephardic Jews, that this was so in 1951.
However, Jews were not under duress in Morocco before, during, or after WWII and it took 50 years of emigration starting in 1956 [one year after Morocco's Independence] with special Israeli incentives to send even 400,000 of them over the years to Israel. Indeed the largest Jewish community in the Arab world today is in Morocco. There are between 7,000 and 10,000 Jews left in Morocco—mostly in Casablanca, but also in Marrakesh, Tangiers and Rabat. Charles Dahan, a close friend of the ambassador and president of the World Sephardic Association of Moroccan Jews, said that unlike the case in Algeria, Iraq or Egypt, the Jews of Morocco never suffered discrimination or violence.
In 1951 there were at most 20,000 Moroccan Jews in Israel.... Yet in this poorly researched and obviously anti-Jewish documentary it states that 100,000 Sephardic children, of which Moroccans were the majority, were exposed to X-rays. Demographically speaking this could not have happened. Someone is guilty of an anachronism. Ascribing present statistics to past events is one of the many mistakes or purposeful lies in this documentary.
The film made it perfectly plain that this operation was no accident. The dangers of x-rays had been known for over forty years.
We read the official guidelines for x-ray treatment in 1952. The maximum dose to be given a child in Israel was.5 rad. There was no mistake made. The children were deliberately poisoned.
Again we have historical revisionism. Back in the 50s radiation from x-ray machines was considered harmless. Shoe stores in America even had X-ray machines used for shoe-fitting that were a common sight in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It wasn't until 1969 that the .5 rad maximum yearly exposure was determined. Nice try Chamish, but no cigar.
There is one person alive who knows the truth and participated in the atrocities. He is Leader Of The Opposition Shimon Peres, the peacemaker. The only way to get to the truth and start the healing is to investigate him for his role in the kidnapping of 4500 Yemenite infants and the mass poisoning of over 100,000 Sephardic children and youths.
OK, OK - I have to stop - I can't take anymore. Chamish goes on and on with other conspiracy theories all of which are just as easy to debunk as this one. Let me answer some arguments I have seen raised about this hoax of a story that Chamish has planted in various anti-Jewish sites.
"But if it's a documentary the story must be true.".
Again ... you bash Wiki as a source.. but you use a conspiracy site as your source? wow.. just wow!!
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak has proposed a plan to reunite his country with North Korea and suggested a tax to prepare for the costs expected if the two countries come together, South Korea's state media said Sunday.
SEOUL—South Korea offered nearly $10 million worth of assistance to North Korea to cope with recent flooding there, even as it issued a final report blaming Pyongyang for the March sinking of one of its warships.
If we pull all of our support from ALL of our allies... There will be WW3 but it will not include the US...

Poisoned by radiation overdose
The appalling blunder has left her body red, blistered and so burned that she has to take frequent cold showers to cool down. The pain makes it impossible to sleep and she now worries how long she has left to live.
The hospital said "human error" had led to Lisa being given overdoses at each of her 17 scheduled radiotherapy sessions.

If you or a loved one suffered hair loss, skin reddening, headaches, memory loss and confusion after a CT brain perfusion scan, you may have been a victim of a radiation overdose.

One patient, Larry Biggles, says that the doctors willfully deceived him by never revealing the mistake. He recalls flaking skin, losing clumps of hair, headaches, and blurred vision.

More insults ... and you criticised another poster in this thread for insulting you .
Please read this.. There are some very valid points made that you should take into consideration while you are on your witch hunt.
Perhaps if you acknowleged the sources of your quotes your long post might make some sense.
Which parts of your post are your own words? Are you enclosing your own words in quote tags, or are you plaguarising the work of others without acknowledgement?

There is no logic in these figures. You make statements about the effect of multiples of the "maximum dose" without even attempting to establish what the maximum dose was. The article does not say "maximum yearly dose", it simply says "maximum dose", which may well refer to the maximum dose generally used for a single ringworm treatment.
That's strange... The effects of x-rays or any other radiation poisoning take a few hours at the speediest and days and weeks later normally..

Radiation overdose can cause immediate burns, both on the skin and inside the body.
These burns hurt like any other sort of burn.
I know. I've seen my gutsy mother-in-law burnt and crying immediately after a radiation treatment overdose.
For another example:

Again, you are making assumptions about the value of A x B without knowing the value of B.

Red Herring, may I say?
Stop making things up. Nowhere is it said that the Henna is worn because of the radiation.
Just a technical point: . . .
You keep arguing against things I have never written, and do not even give the source.
Quoting without acknowledging the source from which you quote is plaguarism.
Look, I am not personally attacking you.
Lol, you call me a water brain, a sponge brain, a racist, and tell me I'm "the entire problem with our world", and "Obviously you are the core problem of all conspiracies." ...
Do you write in your sleep and thus not know what you have written?
Again ... you bash Wiki as a source.. but you use a conspiracy site as your source? wow.. just wow!!
I also quoted from an article first printed in Haaretz which acknowledges that at least some of the victims of this atrocity are now getting compensation.
I guess Israel commonly compensates people for "opinions and conspiracies"?
I can only wonder why you've gone to so much trouble to defend Israel in a matter in which Israel already acknowledges wrongdoing.
