It was much better fiction on Star Trek.

Wee bit of projection from Pallywood
This ridiculosity is also meant to explain the fact that the victims of this explosion all arrived in (Israeli -- !) hospitals almost completely cleansed of shrapnel. One might be tempted to wonder how that happened, and why. A cynic might think that the Arabs took the shrapnel out to make it more difficult to determine whose bomb it was. The story that PMW is commenting on here is one way of explaining that fact -- you see, they were doing research on every single piece of shrapnel they could find in the victims to figure out how radioactive it was.
Of course, for some strange reason the few pieces they missed were all not radioactive. But maybe those pieces were planted by the Israelis. Or the Americans. Or space aliens.
There, fixed it.
"Yassir Arafat warned us of the existence of Depleted Uranium in the Israeli shrapnel, and the army uses Napalm."
The last phrase sounds a lot like the infantile, "and you mother wears army boots."
How can you tell when a Palestinian politician is lying?
When his lips are moving!
This is from the "people" who pour rat poison over the shrapnel they pack into their suicide bomb vests.
