Gaza now Israeli weapons testing lab?
Tue, 13 Jan 2009 12:11:25 GMT
Israeli soldiers prepare their tanks on the Israeli side of Gaza border before rolling into the coastal sliver. Medics say the army might be testing new weapons in the densely-populated Gaza Strip.
Israel has turned Gaza into a research laboratory to test out its new "extremely nasty" weapons on Palestinians, a medical expert says.

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.

The Times said on Thursday that it had identified stockpiles of M825A1, a US-made White Phosphorus munition, from high-resolution pictures taken from Israeli artillery units on the Gaza border.

A phenomenon characteristic of the chemical -- also known by the military as WP or Willie Pete is that it can burn through flesh to the bone and leave bodies "entirely shriveled with black-green skin."

Earlier last week, Gilbert's team, told Press TV that medics had found depleted uraniumin some Gaza residents.

The reports of profound human sufferings come as Israel continues to reject the fact that it has imposed a humanitarian crisis among the battle-hardened 1.5 million population of Gaza.

I am against violance however i want iran to obtain nuclear power so the americans and europe will be thinking twice to go out and attack muslim countries in the middle east although it might not be in the best interest of the rest of the world because of the behaviour of the iranian president its a risk im more than happy to pay for. More muslim countries should have nuclear so rest take notice

It is so sad to watch the daily Zionist atrocities on unarmed women and children, who firstly were deprived of their land by IMPORTED ZIONISTS in 1948 and now their basic DIGNITY. The Arabs are indeed a fuedal people of SHAME. Imagine the Zionists using DIME and CLUSTER weapons on any other people. SHAME ON THE ARABS and DOUBLE SHAME ON THE WORLD FOR LETTING THIS GENOCIDE HAPPEN.

I see defeat in the words on this web site. Yes, Hamas is on the edge of defeat. Hamas will be willing to except a truce in the near future, but at that point Israel will demand Hamas surrender. But i'm sure the Muslim mind will some how try to make it a victory. I hope you have many more victories like this in the near and distant future. Love to kill you.

Gaza is not the real mission for Israel. It is Iran. If you notice, you will see it is desperately trying to provoke Iran or Hezbollah to intervene in Gaza. Once Iran helps Hamas, US and Israel can have excuse to bomb Iran nuclear plants. Arabs are silent on Gaza out of ear of Iran backed Hamas. They want to wipe Iran out of Gaza.

The Nazis did the same in Guernica, Spain. But Nazis did not speak for Germans, they spoke for the will of Hitler. Jews all over the world are protesting the massacre in Gaza, making it known that Israel does NOT speak for them. Apartheid is evil, state terror is evil. Jews and Palestinians are people, subject to polities that do not believe they are subject to the will of the people.

If United States had a great leader like Hitler, The United States would have 26 Trillion Dollars Surplus, instead of 14 Trillion Dollars deficit.

Most Israelis are illegitimate immigrant coming from several parts of the world. So, they should go back to wherever they come. Indigenous people of Palestine be owner of occupied territories sooner or later. Some Israelis have the second home in the other parts of globe. Ultimately they will escape from the middle east. It is an unavoidable fact. To conclude, Palestine was safer, calmer before Israeli state. Whether we accept or no Palestine belongs Palestinians and they will get back it.
