Belgian doctor: Israel using chemical weapons (in Lebanon)
Expatica ^ | July 21, 2006

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".

That's just what I'm thinking about too..... start a furor about "chemical weapons" so that when the Hezbo-Nazis DO start using them against the Israelis their propaganda campaign will be "black is white" and "war is peace" and "Israel is using WMDs".......... this article is pure propaganda but I hope it's not the signal for something much worse to come.

Probably not true............

But what if they are?

What then? Is it a terrorist action? Who's to blame? Is it accepted for them to use chemical warfare, but not others?

Still, probably not true...............

"Israel hasn't used chemical weapons. IF this doctor had REAL EVIDENCE from medical testing on the bodies(and it wouldn't be hard to do), he would have NAMED the agent used. This is pure horse pucky propaganda. No doctor just makes an observational statement without backing it up scientifically. This doc is bogus. "

"I think those who say Iran, Syria and Hezbollah are getting ready to use chemical weapons on Israel are right. Terrorists are lying and setting the stage to either use chemicals or dirty nukes on Israel."

My thoughts too. Islamists started all the wars against Israel to wipe it off the map and when Israel fights back, they (and their useful Idiots around the world like this Doctor) accuse Israel of all the crimes. United States also was accused of using Depleted Uranium shells in the First Gulf War against Saddam. I don't know if there was any truth to that and was there are any substantial evidence or scientific testing to substantiatethose claims, but the fact is that Saddam used chemical weapons to suppress Iraqi Kurds rebellion.

I don't have any reason to believe this Doctor. Islamists start their wars against Israel and they and those who give them the base of operation (like Lebanese govm't) shouldn't complain when Israel hits back hard at them. Don't give shelter to terrorists and you won't be attacked.

I wonder if it's the same poisonous chemical that Jews have been dumping in the wells of every community they've ever lived in since the start of the Diaspora? Jews of course don't need to drink water, so they never accidentally poison themselves. </sarcasm>

And let's not forget that no Jews died in the WTC on 9/11, because thousands of them knew of the plot ahead of time and they all warned each other but didn't warn any of their non-Jewish relatives or close friends or even spouses. Boy, they're sure good at keeping secrets!

I wonder if there's some kind of "reverse IQ" test you can administer to the average "Arab in the street" --- give them a series of "Do you believe that the Jews did ...." questions.

Of course, Hezbollah would NEVER do this to their own people and then claim the Israelis did it.

These are most likely innocent people who were trying to flee the area in response to Israeli pre-bombing warnings, were blocked by Hezbollah (as many civilians were), and then poisoned to death so that Hezbollah could use them as "evidence" that Israel is using chemical weapons.

Good focus on that quote, RB. Notice how the whole article doesn't tell you a thing about what qualifies this "professor" to render the opinions. Absolute garbage.

Facts don't matter, it is the seriousness of the charge that is important. There are at least one billion people on Earth that will believe this BS without question. This includes every Muslim and about 90% all Democrats.

"Don't give shelter to terrorists and you won't be attacked."

Exactly. Great point. The lebanese govt, Syria and Iran are not demanding Hezbolla stop. The Lebanese pres says he has no control over them. He should be thanking Israel for taking care of his "Hezbollah problem". And it's been a tremendous effort on Israel's part to save civilians, otherwise this operation would be over by now. Trying to minimize collateral damage always lenghtens a war.

I have been saying for years that Israel should carpet-bomb the entire Mideast (including ISRAEL) with Valium and Prozac.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

As these Islamic scumbags always use civilians as their shield, the next warning to civilians should be to get out or you will be considered the enemy.

No other way to fight a war against cowards.
