  Israel Drops Cancer-inducing Bombs on Gazans

    A Norwegian doctor working in Gaza has strongly criticized Israel
    for using cancer-inducing bombs against Palestinian civilians.

According to Al Ray Palestinian Media Agency, Dr. Erik Fosse recently 
stated to Press TV that the majority of patients hospitalized in Gaza 
are civilians injured in attacks on their homes, and that about thirty 
percent of these victims are children.

Dense Inert Metal Explosive <http://imemc.org/article/68456>, known as 
DIME, is an explosive device developed to minimize damage to things that 
are incidental to the intended target, known as "collateral damage".

The bombs reportedly effect a relatively small but rather significantly 
damaging blast radius 
<http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dvideogames&field-keywords=blast+radius>, 
and are believed by medical experts to have severe biological effects on 
those hit with the bomb's micro-shrapnel.

DIME munitions were developed by the US Air Force, in 2006, and have 
since been tested repeatedly on the people of Gaza, who, according to 
the Electronic Intifada 
<http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/rania-khalek/israel-firing-experimental-weapons-gazas-civilians-say-doctors>, 
have long served as involuntary lab rats for Israel's weapons industry.

DIME bombs contain tungsten, a cancer-causing metal which helps to 
produce blasts which slice through flesh and bone, often completely 
destroying the lower limbs of people within the blast radius

The doctor also says that some Palestinians in the besieged enclave have 
been wounded by a new type of weapon which even doctors with previous 
experience in war zones do not recognize.

Israel has used banned weapons in the past, including depleted-uranium 
and white phosphorus, which is nearly impossible to extiguish and leaves 
its victim hideously burned and scarred, should he or she even survive 
such an attack.

The ground assault continues in Gaza 
<http://www.imemc.org/article/68524>, today, with nearly 300 reported 
deaths and over 2,000 wounded in Gaza, to include elderly, disabled and 
children not even a year old -- all victims of targets which include 
mostly civilian homes

hospitals

and municipal facilities
