Friends + Interlocutors,

We can be sure that Israel is using the same type of American munitions which the U.S. used in Iraq. The type that utilizes depleted uranium. I don’t know anything about the subject. Scott Ritter does. Watch the video.

American servicemen who served in Iraq and elsewhere have suffered the after-effects from these weapons, most notably cancer. And of course so did the Iraqis on the receiving-end.

Can you imagine how polluted and toxic Gaza must be now after all the bombs and artillery shells that Israel has dropped and fired into it? Joshua Frank of CounterPunch gives us an idea: Cancer, one more weapon in Israel’s genocide arsenal.

Who is ultimately going to clean this toxic site up? Who is going to pay for it? You can bet your bottom dollar it will be Uncle Sam, that is, the American taxpayer. 

Unlike Fallujah in Iraq, Gaza will have to be cleaned up if the territory is ever to be reinhabited. The current occupants, the Palestinian refugees who survive the slaughter, will suffer tremendous health issues, if Fallujah is any example.

The Trump/Jared Kushner real estate plan is to turn Gaza into a high-tech enclave and Riviera-like waterfront resort after Nut&Yahoo kills and expels most of its inhabitants. Who is going to want to move in then? The health risks will be enormous. The memory of what happened there will be indelible. One more stain on American foreign policy.
