Gaza Continues To Fall Victim By The IOF’s Use Of DU/EU Weapons

UK, December 24, 2009, (Pal Telegraph) - Whenever I try to break away from talking about the deeply disturbing use of American and Israeli WMD's both during the Lebanon conflict in 2006 and in Gaza during Cast Lead in 2008/9 I find myself being haunted by more gut-wrenching stories coming out of the strip.
A survey was carried out to compare the health of the people of Gaza back in the summer of 2008 and the summer following the Israeli attack in 2009. The report is shocking to say the least and one can clearly see that the health problems have more than doubled as a direct result of the IDF's use of illegal weapons that can only be described as WMD's. Most of these weapons are manufactured in the US and exported to Israel under a Foreign Military Sales Program which is part of the US security assistance to authorised foreign purchasers.
This programme falls under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and conducted using formal contracts or agreements between the United States Government (USG) and an authorized foreign purchaser. What is even more astonishing is the fact that the President of the United States himself makes the determination as to if the prospective purchaser is eligible. The first priority of the US Criteria is the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to such a country or international organization is that it must strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace.
As one can clearly see the authorisation comes directly from the President and therefore if the weapons in question are indiscriminate or of a nature to cause some concern then he, as the Commander in Chief, must approve the export and at the same time must know its application. It is therefore a possibility that President Obama could become implicated in any such deal since he took office and as such could constitute as being a war crime. The weapons that were used in Lebanon, Gaza and also currently in Afghanistan and Pakistan are or were totally illegal. They are currently classified as conventional weapons when in actual fact many of them contain uranium components and therefore fall into the category of WMD's
In January 2009, Congressman Dennis Kucinich sent notice to Secretary of State, Dr. Condoleezza Rice, that Israel's actions in Gaza since December 27th, 2008 may constitute a violation of the requirements of the Arms Export Control Act. When the President is aware of the possibility of such violations, the AECA requires a report to Congress on the potential violation(s).
Samples collected from Gaza were tested at Harwell famous laboratory in the UK and tested positive to both DU/EU. Experts considered that Gaza may have been used as a test bed for 4th Generation Weapons. It is also believed that Israel Military Industries Ltd (IMI) also manufacture such illegal weaponry and have in the past converted Harpoon missiles from the US into nuclear warheads. Israel continues to carry out in all sphere of nuclear development totally unchecked under the watchful eye of the US President, the US Administration, the US Congress and Department of Defense.
Let's now get back to the contamination bestowed on the people of Gaza and West Bank. It should also be pointed out that when the IDF use these weapons they are also nuking themselves (Israel) and all downwind countries such as Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and beyond. So what is now showing up in the health system of Palestine? You will no doubt have guessed.......exactly the same as what happened in the Balkans, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Gaza and now Pakistan.
Significant rise in all types of cancers, diabetes, mental illnesses, infertility, still births and gross birth defects.
