ARAB PROPAGANDISTS DUST OFF ANOTHER OLD "ANTI-WAR" CANARD: IDF USED SHELLS WITH DEPLETED URANIUM

HAARETZ:

In a letter on behalf of Arab ambassadors accredited in Austria, Saudi ambassador Prince Mansour Al-Saud expressed "our deep concern regarding the information ... that traces of depleted uranium have been found in Palestinian victims."

A final draft of the letter was made available to The Associated Press on Monday. It urgently called on IAEA Director General Mohammed ElBaradei to carry out a "radiological and physical assessment in order to verify the presence of depleted uranium in the weaponry used by Israel ... in the Gaza Strip."

... It is not the first time Israel has been accused of using ordnance containing depleted uranium, which makes shells and bombs harder and increases their penetrating power. The Israeli army declined comment. But the U.S. and NATO have used uranium-depleted rounds in Bosnia and Iraq.

According to the World Health Organization, the weapons are lightly radioactive, though under most circumstances, use of DU will make a negligible contribution to the overall natural background levels of uranium in the environment.

... Syria, which is being investigated by the Vienna-based agency for alleged secret nuclear activities, says traces of uranium found by IAEA experts at a site bombed by Israel jets Sept. 6, 2007 likely came from bombs or missiles used by the Israelis.

The Israelis have denied using such weaponry in that raid, and on Monday two diplomats accredited to the IAEA and familiar with its Syria investigations told the AP that the agency has virtually ruled out Israeli munitions as the source of the uranium. They asked for anonymity for discussing confidential information.

THIS IS THE SAME KIND OF FALSE "WAR-CRIME" CHARGE THE LEFT HAS USED AGAINST ISRAEL FOR DECADES.

• IT'S JUST MORE "PALLYWOOD" CRAP.

• THE KIND OF ANTISEMITIC CRAP THE LEFTIST-DOMINATED MSM AND LEFTIST DOMINATED U.N. EAT UP!

• IT WAS AN OLD PROPAGANDA TACTICWHEN SC*MBAG JOHN KERRY USED IT AGAINST HIS FELLOW VETERANS, CALLING THEIR ACTIONS "REMINISCENT OF GENGHIS KHAN."

• IT'S A LIE.

FILE IT ACCORDINGLY.
