This is being a good day for deletions.
Perhaps if should lie through my freakin' teeth and malign someone in every post I make then I will become one of the "protected ones" maybe?

Honesty is not appreciated in this place ...

G'night all.

Ah, victimhood raises it's practiced cry!

Well practiced in his case.

My wife happened to see those dreadful pictures when I came onto this thread. She couldn't believe her eyes.

Thank God we have sensitive mods here.

My original post plus all pics in context may be found here.

Agreed they are not pleasant to look at but what is being done is not pleasant. Folks should be aware of what is being done, supposedly in the interests of freedom.

Bear in mind ... DU has a life of millions of years and clean-up facilities are being denied.

If you don't want to be shocked, don't look.

For the record, I did not write that, it is a deliberate misquote.

PA Libel:
Israel used shells with depleted uranium
By Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook, June 14, 2006

The Palestinian Authority continues to spread lies and libels about Friday's events on the Gaza beach, even though it now seems certain that Israel was not responsible for the civilian deaths.

The latest PA story is that a Palestinian artist is in the hospital with burns over his body after handling the shrapnel from the "Israeli bombs." The bombs were then examined and found to give off radiation, sup osedly because Israel had contaminated the bombs with "depleted uranium."

The following is the story in the PA official daily, which is under the control of the office of Mahmoud Abbas:

"The enemy committed its attacks on Gaza and killed its victims . My friend, the sculptor and painter, Fayiz Al-Sarsawy, went to one of the bombing sites... to collect the shrapnel of death that the crazed bombing left in order to make a statue of the Palestinian suffering. A friend who assists him would clean the shrapnel...

That night Fayiz received a unsettling call from his friend who assists him: "I am talking to you from the hospital and I'm asking you not to touch the shrapnel you've collected." An infection had formed on the hand of this friend and spread to what looked like burn marks on his skin. When he touched sensitive areas in his body a suspicious swelling appeared.

Experts arrived and took samples of the shrapnel. Later, they asked for all the shrapnel and explained: The shrapnel was treated with some form of depleted uranium, that releases slow and dangerous radiation.

This is not a movie from imagination of Rambo, but actual reality. The shrapnel exists and can be shown to anyone interested. Yassir Arafat warned us of the existence of Depleted Uranium in the Israeli shrapnel, and the army uses Napalm."

Depleted Uranium is 40% less radioactive than natural uranium. Like all heavy metals, it is toxic to humans, but firing DU rounds is probably far less dangerous than putting lead in petrol.
When people arwe exposed to carcinogens, it usually takes 10-20 years for the effects to appear. Hence it is not surprising to find that objective investigation into the deformities that appeared in Iraq in the 1990s have identified the use of chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq war as the most likely cause.
