GAZA - More proof of Genocide!

The Gaza Holocaust, Part Two: The Weapons of Genocide -

The HORRENDOUS 'DIME' bomb!

This genotoxic 100% carcinogenic weapon is the Pentagon's alternative to the Depleted Uranium tipped bombs - it kills within 3 months... So imagine how many more - sure to be unreported - deaths there will be in Gaza...

A conversation with James Brooks of Vermonters for a Just Peace in Palestine/Israel, who is an expert on weapons used by the Israelis. The US weapon manufacturers are testing their latest hyper lethal weapons - including the BGU39 bomb that can be launched from 60 miles away from a fighter bomber plane flying over Israel and glide up to Gaza and explode with tremendous destructive power and spread LOTS of depleted uranium over civilian population.

Much more in the article Unconventional weapons used against Gazans included in full below.

The following 2006 article is also quoted in his radio interview: US and Israel targeting DNA in Gaza? Part 1: The DIME bomb, yet another genotoxic weapon - Here is a telling excerpt: "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]

It is unfortunate that the US media have virtually blacked out the story of Israel's new weapon, not least because our own military may soon be using it in Iraq and Afghanistan. The story might also have told us something about the grossly disproportionate brutality of Israel's war on the Palestinian people -- reason enough for the media to suppress it. (...) "despite the damage in internal soft tissue in the bodies of injured people, the fragments were not detected by X-ray. In other words, they had disappeared or dissolved inside the body." [13] "There were usually entry and exit wounds," Dr. Al-Saqqa reported. "When the wounds were explored no foreign material was found. There was tissue death, the extent of which was difficult to determine. . . . A higher deep infection rate resulted with subsequent amputation. In spite of amputation there was a higher mortality." The effects of the weapon seemed "radioactive." [14] [15] According to Palestine News Network, Dr. Al-Saqqa "confirmed that there were dozens of wounded legs and arms. Many of them had been burned from the inside, and distorted to the point that they cannot return to life again." Much more through http://www.vtjp.org/report/


Here is a confirmation that such this new genotoxic weapon -
The DIME bomb - is indeed being used in Gaza:

Israel turns Gaza into weapon testing lab? (13 Jan 2009)
http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id...onid=351021701

Israel has turned Gaza into a research laboratory to test out its new "extremely nasty" weapons on Palestinians, say on the scene medics. After working for 10 days at the Shifa Hospital in the war-torn Palestinian territory, Dr. Mads Gilbert, a member of a Norwegian triage medical team in Gaza, blasted Israel for conducting experimental military work in the impoverished strip. "There's a very strong suspicion I think that Gaza is now being used as a test laboratory for new weapons," Gilbert told reporters at Oslo's Gardermoen airport upon his return home on Monday. Dr. Gilbert said the kinds of injuries he and his colleague Erik Fosse had seen during their ten-day aid work in Gaza had proven that Dense Inert Metal Explosives (DIME) was being used in the embattled territory. DIME, which is an experimental kind of explosive, is believed to have strong biological effects in those who are hit by the "low lethality" weapons. Survivors close to the lethal range may have their limbs amputated as their soft tissues and bones are shredded to pieces. The victims may also subsequently contract cancer from the micro-shrapnel embedded in their body tissue within just four to six months. "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 meters (16-98 feet)," said Gilbert. "We have not seen the casualties affected directly by the bomb because they are normally torn to pieces and do not survive, but we have seen a number of very brutal amputations... without shrapnel injuries which we strongly suspect must have been caused by the DIME weapons," he added.

The weapon "causes the tissue to be torn from the flesh. It looks very different (from a shrapnel injury). I have seen and treated a lot of different injuries for the last 30 years in different war zones, and this looks completely different," said Fosse, 58. "If you are in the immediate (vicinity of) a DIME weapon, it's like your legs get torn off. It's an enormous pressure wave and there is no shrapnel," he explained. Israel had also used the weapon in the 2006 war with Lebanon and previously in Gaza. "We are not soft-skinned when it comes to war injuries, but these amputations are really extremely nasty and for many of the patients not survivable," he added. Following reports on the use of suspected chemical weapons in Gaza, the United Nations Human Rights Council decided to dispatch a fact-finding mission to investigate human rights violations committed in the territory. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said on Tuesday that "Accountability must be ensured for violations of international law," suggesting that the Council consider a mission to assess violations committed by both sides in the conflict. The latest casualty figures according to Health officials have topped 940 since the operation began on 27 December, while some 4,400 others have been wounded. Senior United Nations officials have expressed grave concern about reports that over 40 per cent of the Palestinians killed in the Israeli offensive, and almost half of the wounded, are women and children. The new report comes on top of earlier reports which revealed the Israeli military had used controversial white phosphorus shells on Gazans. CLIP


Gaza facing 'medical crisis'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7823410.stm
Medical facilities in the Gaza Strip are at the point of collapse, according to two western doctors who have been working there during the conflict. Doctors Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse warn that many more could die as basic medical equipment runs out. - Dr. Mads Gilbert says: "I think we could sum it by saying that it's been a LIVING HELL for the Palestinians!"


Israel maintains heavy bombardment
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/video_and_audio/default.stm
Israeli planes have attacked more than 60 targets in Gaza as its offensive against Hamas entered its 18th day.


'The wounded cannot wait for days'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7827317.stm
The head of the International Red Cross, Jakob Kellenberger, has been to the Gaza Strip to see the humanitarian situation. Mr Kellenberger visited the main Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, where he said he was very concerned that many of those injured in the fighting were unable to get rapid medical assistance. He told reporters: "It is not negotiable that a medical mission in such a conflict has to be protected. The medical mission has to be protected".

Once the Israeli government deems that their "objectives" have been met and they finally pull their troops out of Gaza, all of this will soon be forgotten by most people in the Western world as the media's interest will fade and move to Obama's inauguration and whatever else that can help everyone bury the memories of the blood and gore of Gaza and pretend that everything is back to "normal"... just as most everyone did for all the previous instances of such extreme violence in our recent past.

But the fresh wounds opened by Operation Cast Lead in the hearts of all Palestinians and all those who care for these long-suffering soul beings will continue to fester and unless a deep shift of policy by the US towards Israel is implemented by the new Obama administration, the specter of military violence and mayhem will rear its ugly head again and the unending torture of the Palestinian people will continue while the souls and conscience of all Israeli people of good conscience and all those who care for them will continue to be torn and tortured by the aggressive military policy of their government.

Who thinks ISRAEL will ever see peace while it treats its neighbours like sub-humans?


Lift the blockade and clear off you Fascist Filth!

JERUSALEM (AP) — A rocket fired by Palestinian militants struck southern Israel on Sunday, Israel's military said, violating an informal truce even as Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers appeared to be moving closer to cementing a long-term cease-fire.

This bomb is intended to limit the distance at which the explosion causes damage, to avoid collateral damage in warfare.

Sort of like the Hamas suicide bombers, but they target only civilians.

Because the land is Palestinian land illegally occupied by Terrorist war criminals.
