Israel – micro-killing on a mass scale

Take a good hard look and tell me if people who are ready to inflict this kind of damage on other human beings for land, or any other material resource or ideology, for that matter, deserve anything other than your contempt and your scorn.

"Bodies arrived severely fragmented, melted and disfigured," said Jumaa Saqa'a, a doctor at the Shifa hospital in Gaza City.

"We found internal burning of organs, while externally there were minute pieces of shrapnel. When we opened many of the injured people we found dusting on their internal organs."

In Gaza, Dr Saqa'a said the small pieces of shrapnel found in patients' bodies did not show up under X-ray. "We are used to seeing shrapnel penetrate the body making localised damage. Now we didn't see shrapnel, but we found the destruction," he said.

The doctors also found that patients who were stabilised after one or two days suddenly died. "The patient dies without any apparent scientific cause," Dr Saqa'a said. Photographs of some of the dead from Shifa hospital showed bodies that had been melted and blackened beyond recognition. In several cases doctors amputated badly burnt limbs.

Tissue samples from patients in Gaza were given to journalists from the Italian television channel RAI . . . An Italian laboratory that analysed the samples reportedly said its results were compatible with the hypothesis that a Dime weapon was involved.

The weapon is still in the early stages of development in the US. It has a carbon-fibre casing and contains fine tungsten particles rather than metal shrapnel. It causes a very powerful blast, but with a much more limited radius than other explosives.

[But, of course, the] Israeli military denies the use of Dime weapons.

"The defence establishment is investing considerable effort to develop weaponry in order to minimise the risk of injury to innocent civilians. With regard to allegations of the use of Dime weaponry, the Israel Defence Forces deny the possession or use of such weapons," it said.

And, of course, we believe them. Why would they lie?

It's too late to save so many innocent people from this cruel fate.

Wakeup, America - before it's too late for US.
