Dropping the DIME on Gazans?

Dr. Mads Gilbert, the Norwegian member of the Red Party, who voiced approval for the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center, has accused Israel of war crimes.

Blackfive comments:

Noted lying douchebag and terrorist mouthpiece Dr. Mads Gilbert has returned to his native Norway. but not before spreading some more BS propaganda. His latest slurs claim Israel is using Gaza as a testing grounds for heinous new weapons. He and his partner in lies claim a lot of garbage that sounds good to the gullible media, but makes no sense with even a little due diligence. First what the evil Zionists are up to.

"There's a very strong suspicion I think that Gaza is now being used as a test laboratory for new weapons," Mads Gilbert told reporters at Oslo's Gardermoen airport, commenting on the kinds of injuries he and his colleague Erik Fosse had seen while working at the Shifa Hospital in Gaza.

The two medics, who were sent into the war zone by the pro-Palestinian aid organisation NORWAC on December 31, said they had seen clear signs that Dense Inert Metal Explosives (DIME), an experimental kind of explosive, were being used in Gaza.

"This is a new generation of very powerful small explosives that detonates with an extreme power and dissipates its power within a range of five to 10 metres (16-98 feet)," said Gilbert, 61.

"We have not seen the casualties affected directly by the bomb because they are normally torn to pieces and do not survive, but we have seen a number of very brutal amputations... without shrapnel injuries which we strongly suspect must have been caused by the DIME weapons," he added.

He does make one true statement, it does dissipate within a short range, but let's see why.

Dense Inert Metal Explosive (DIME)

The Air Force is demonstrating a low collateral damage warhead, allowing a "behind-the-wall" threat prosecution with a highly localized lethal footprint. The warhead case consists of a low-density, wrapped carbon-fiber/epoxy matrix integrated with a steel nose and base. The low-density composite case can survive penetration into a one-foot hardened concrete wall. Upon detonation, the carbon-fiber warhead case disintegrates into small non-lethal fibers with little or no metallic fragments, thus significantly reducing collateral damage to people and structures.

So this hellish new weapon, which we don't even know for sure they are using, is actually designed to cause less collateral damage. That would make sense if the Israelis were not actually trying to kill innocent civilians, but hey we know that is not the case. 2 cents worth of common sense would show anyone that if they simply wanted to kill Gazans, using bombs that cause less collateral damage, calling them to tell them when an attack is coming and all the other measures they have taken would be counter-productive. But as usual common sense plays no part for the Israel haters.

Again, if Israel wanted to massacre Gazans, is there any doubt the body count would be much higher than it is?  Really?

 

Maybe what the world needs is for Israel to announce, "no matter what we do, we're accused of committing massacres.  For the next month, we're going to demonstrate to the world what a real massacre looks like...."
