 Shrirne ElJurdi is a member of the Communications Committee, as you know,
and last year at the IEC in Geneva, promised to keep us all informed about
things in Lebanon.  There is plenty to tell us about now, sadly.

*Israelis Rain Down Deadly DU On Lebanese Civilians *









*Written by Paul Joseph Watson*

Saturday, 29 July 2006

Esteemed depleted uranium expert Dr. Doug Rokke is pointing the finger at
Israel for using deadly and illegal depleted uranium munitions against the
Lebanese people which were sold to them by the U.S. government - and calls
for an immediate halt to the practice.

Dr. Doug Rokke's military career spanned four decades before he was
appointed as the head of the US Army's investigative team into the
assessment and teaching of the dangers of depleted uranium.

Dr. Rokke has been called upon as an advisor for the Centers of Disease
Control, Department of Defense, National Academy of Sciences, Institute of
Medicine, U.S Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Department of
Transportation, FAA, U.S. Department of Defense. U.S. General Accounting
Office, Department of Veterans Affairs, British Royal Society, British House
of Lords and House of Commons, United Nations, and Presidential Special
Oversight Board.

Depleted uranium is a radioactive toxic poison - according to Wikipedia,
"Depleted uranium is a byproduct of the enriching of natural uranium for use
in nuclear reactors. When most of the fissile radioactive isotopes of
uranium are removed from natural uranium, the residue is called depleted
uranium."

Depleted uranium is indiscriminate in who it targets. During an appearance
on the Alex Jones Show, Dr. Rokke described some of the effects of depleted
uranium - a battlefield weapon that once used can never be cleaned up and
remains in the atmosphere for eternity. Dr. Doug Rokke's military career

"What we know from first hand experience and what happened to those of us in
Gulf War I and when we did our research for the US Army - the first thing
that hits you is respiratory problems, then you have the rashes, then you
start having permanent lung damage within a few months because of radiation
and chemical toxicity, then you have neurological problems, then you have
gastrointestinal problems."

"You have decalcification of the bones and the teeth - then you have all the
eye problems due to the alpha and beta damage to the eyes - and then the
cancers, the leukemia and everything else," said Rokke.

"It's catastrophic, the US Army briefing the Pentagon leaders prior to Gulf
War II in 2002 flat out acknowledged all of the problems yet they disregard
them and say that they don't exist in public."

Following the bombing of Afghanistan a scientific study by British
scientists Dr. Chris Busby and Saoirse Morgan concluded that high levels of
depleted uranium had contaminated Europe, having drifted on air currents
from the Middle East and Central Asia.

Rokke said the Israelis first used depleted uranium munitions against the
Egyptians during the Arab-Israeli war in 1973-74.

He outlined the path to the Israeli use of depleted uranium munitions, the
'civilized world's' dirty bombs, in Lebanon over the last two weeks.

Extreme birth deformities across Iraq and the Balkans are attributed to
indiscriminate use of depleted uranium.

"The US Army confirmed they had used over 500 tons of uranium munitions just
in the first two months in Iraq - that's the shock and awe - the US Army
thoroughly confirmed in that the GBU 28 - which is a precision guided bomb
if you will - 5,000 pounds of explosives contains a uranium warhead - again
these are the bunker busters," said Rokke.

"Well low and behold last week guess what the United States delivered to
Israel - over 100 GBU 28's to use against targets in Lebanon."

"The Army thoroughly confirmed that its a radioactive bomb and the shrapnel
is there after its use and it's a problem and everything else so it's all
there."

"So now we have photographic confirmation - and I want to repeat -
photographic confirmation of Israeli tankers loading uranium rounds into
Israeli tanks and using them in Lebanon," Rokke told Jones.

"What we have now is deliberate use of radioactive munitions, depleted
uranium munitions, which are illegal according to the United Nations."

"We've got all the Lebanese being effected, all the women and children being
affected, all the Israelis being effected, and the areas over there are so
small you're going to have the whole region effected and contaminated."

"We knew about the GBU 28 delivery, we knew that was a given thing - now we
were looking at the damage that's being done to Lebanon and all the damage
indicates DU but until we actually got the full photograph of the DU round
being loaded by an Israeli tank gunner we didn't have that and that came in
yesterday," said Rokke.

The photographs of Israeli soldiers loading DU munitions were strangely
deleted from numerous different news websites shortly after they were
published but we were able to retrieve these smaller versions from the Getty
archive which are captioned below.

Rokke expands on Israeli use of depleted uranium mission in an article in
which he states that, "the use of uranium weapons is absolutely
unacceptable, and a crime against humanity. Consequently the citizens of the
world and all governments must force cessation of uranium weapons use. I
must demand that Israel now provide medical care to all DU casualties in
Lebanon and clean up all DU contamination."

On Tuesday we carried a video of Lebanese doctors describing injuries to
children as showing all the hallmarks of phosphorous - a chemical weapon
also highly contentious in battlefield use.

In a related development, former NSA official Wayne Madsen was told by his
sources that the Israelis deliberately targeted and killed four UN observers
because they had obtained knowledge of Israeli atrocities being perpetrated
against the Lebanese population.
