Gaza doctors encounter 'unexplained injuries'

Beside especially severe burning "down to the bones", the doctors say that, in other cases, internal organs have been ruptured without any obvious sign of shrapnel wounds.

While a report from the Hamas-run Ministry of Health said the injuries raised the possibility Israel could be using "unprecedented" projectiles with "radiant" substances, the medics acknowledge that there is no proof so far of their claims. They also admit that the difficulty of establishing the exact cause of death is greatly exacerbated by the reluctance of most bereaved Palestinian families to allow autopsies.

I read that, and even before reading your theory, the first thing I thought was "Microwaves!"

What better way to scamble your enemies insides?

Let's just hope Rense doesn't grab hold of this -- assuming he hasn't...

It is called propaganda bullshit, along the same lines as Israel was behind 9/11, or the Protocols of Zion, or any other number of plots and conspiracies the Jews are responsible for.

Oh, please. While I'm certainly wary of -- and disgusted with -- the usual anti-Semitic drek disguised as criticism of Israel, must we assume that *any* charge leveled against Israel is misguided claptrap?

I don't "believe" or disbelieve; I merely found the story intriguing and worth a look.

Chill out.

My husband worked logistics at the Pentagon back in the early '90s. You'd be amazed at the amount of crap our military doled out to our allies.

He'd literally be given a budget worth millions, and a "shopping list" of weapons and supplies to spend it on. Not that I can say who got it, or what they got, 'cause that's still classified.

But, if the Israelites managed to get one of these experimental weapons out of a load of stuff we sent them? It wouldn't surprise me a bit.
