Studies conducted by a group of Italian researchers have revealed the presence of dangerous levels of toxins in the bodies of Palestinian victims of Israeli bombings during operation Cast Lead in 2008-2009. The results of tests conducted on a sample of 15 dead and wounded victims of the war on Gaza, in addition to another sample of 95 citizens, showed the presence of 30 toxic components, notably high levels of uranium. A senior Ministry of Health official in Gaza, Medhat Abbas, confirmed the findings during a press conference last Thursday.

According to Mr. Abbas, the study showed the presence of dangerous substances toxic to human embryos which distort and threaten infertility in men and women and affect genes. It was absorbed through the skin or the mouth during eating.

In a previous study, the same researchers emphasized that the soil of the Gaza Strip now contains toxic metals and carcinogens harmful to embryos. This was due, they claimed, to the absorption of materials used in the recent Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.

Gaza’s Health Minister, Dr Bassem Naim, said the study of the biological samples proved that the Israelis used internationally proscribed weapons against the Palestinians. He warned that the large percentage of toxic uranium in the territory would pose a real threat to future generations. Dr Naim added that his department will send the research findings to the relevant human rights authorities which are documenting Israeli war crimes in the territory.

Following here you'll see my formula for the creation of energy from human thought.

This proves that London is not the centre of the universe, by the principle of the conservation of engery.
I'm told by someone who might well know that uranium only features on the modern battlefield and massacre field in the form of depleted uranium as the penetrator point of armour-piercing ammunition, such as 120mm main gun tank rounds and 30mm rotating cannon rounds as fired by Apache attack helicopters. Allegedly the toxicity of these rounds only develops in the dust created by their high-velocity impact on armour burning in the heat of the friction of the collision. This dust is toxic if breathed in.
At least that has elements of a coherent claim of a mechanism of injury.
The wounds you show could be caused by an axe and cigarette lighter.
What kind of public support are you enlisting with this presentation: silly ninnies?

White phosphorous was used which had a damaging effect as you see. Watch occupation 101 with documented evidence of waht was used during cast lead. Don't forget we are dealing with a nation that has more than 250 nagasaki type bombs but neither confirm or deny it. Thanks to the whistleblower we know. The 5th largets defence force in the world against unarmed women and children. Evil! The deceptors stoop that low that when they ie IDF say they are using rubber bullets they are but they have steel in them. How can anyone have any faith with that? Go to the occupied territories n see 4 urself.
