BRUSSELS — The Israeli military is using chemical weapons during its bombing of Lebanon, a Belgian-Lebanese professor claimed during a press conference in Brussels on Thursday.
The press conference was organised by the secretary of the Tripoli archbishop, Monsignor Jean Abboud. The Belgian professor of Lebanese origin, Bachir Cham, is the head of a hospital in Lebanon.
"The bodies don't look like they normally do. After an explosion there were no traces of blood loss or subcutaneous haemorrhages [bruises]," Cham said via mobile phone direct from Beirut.
"The hair and sometimes the beard and the moustache remained intact. I found no traces of the pressure wave by the explosion. The colour of the skin was black like a shoe, but the skin was not carbonised or burnt."
Eight mummy-like bodies were taken to the hospital on Monday and photos taken of the corpses. Two children's bodies showed no indication of wounds resulting from an explosion.
"I have the impression that a poisonous product penetrated the body via the skin. Death follows with almost 100 percent certainty," the professor said.
A heart specialist, Mohammad Farran, said letters had been sent to the UN and the EU drawing their attention to the alleged use of chemical weapons by Israel in Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Arab, Lebanese and Belgian peace activists protested for fourth consecutive day in front of the EU headquarters in Brussels against the Israeli attacks in Lebanon.
Placards carried by the protestors read: "Israel today is committing a deliberate crime against Lebanon" and "Stop Israeli terrorism".

Sounds like the Lebanese are preparing the European street for the fact that they are going to use chemical weapons against the Israelis.
Yup on that. Those folks have been dead a while.
Not a chance. Using chemical weapons would turn the whole world, including the US, against them. Israel isn't that stupid.
Sounds like they were roasted to perfection.
I think this is all part of Iran's manipulations. They need evidence that Israel has and is willing to use WMD so they can justify their nuclear program as "self defense".
I may not be an expert in pathology or explosives but I do know that a pressure wave can cause damage to underlying soft tissue while leaving the external body intact.
You are correct.
That's a Blood Libel.
Well, after the Israelis put chemicals in the ground in Gaza so nothing would grow there after they left... I wouldn't put anything past them.
They look burned to me. Juxtapose these photos from photos taken during the chemical attacks in Iraq on the Kurds.
That's what happened to Zarq, right?
Now they will call for investigations. If they don't get them that will be proof that it's true. If they do get the investigation and they find nothing, then they will charge it was covered up. As long as the MSM can use innuendo and half truths many people will believe it is true.

This was his "impression" from photos? Well then let me try an examination doing it his way: My impression of this supposed doctor, sight unseen, is that he is a Quack. After all, if you talk like a duck..
"Now they will call for investigations."
Let's do controlled experiments with Hezbellah, istead.
You know, expose them to chemicals and various explosives and see if we can reproduce the effects.
It's the only way to know for sure.
They looked like that before they were shot.
