New and unkown deadly weapons used by Israeli forces

[Popol Vuh]

What's up with this? Has anybody else heard anything about this?

By now there are countless reports, from hospitals, witnesses, armament experts and journalists that strongly suggest that in the present offensive of Israeli forces against Lebanon and Gaza 'new weapons' are being used.

New and strange symptoms are reported amongst the wounded and the dead.

1. One wonders WHERE they got these "weapons" from, eh?

[fuzzyball]

8. Israel has a huge indigenous weapons industry....

Israel sells arms to dozens of other countries.
They have some advanced weapons which even the US
does not have.

2. An amped up microwave riot control ray gun?

US has one and rumors are the Israelis have developed one, too.

Riot Control Ray Gun Causes Worry
 
WASHINGTON -- Scientists are questioning the safety of a Star Wars-style riot control ray gun due to be deployed in Iraq next year.

The Active Denial System weapon, classified as "less lethal" by the Pentagon, fires a 95-gigahertz microwave beam at rioters to cause heating and intolerable pain in less than five seconds.

The idea is people caught in the beam will rapidly try to move out of it and therefore break up the crowd.

But New Scientist magazine reported today that during tests carried out at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, participants playing the part of rioters were told to remove glasses and contact lenses to protect their eyes.

In another test they were also told to remove metal objects like coins from their clothing to avoid local hot spots developing on their skin.

"What happens if someone in a crowd is unable for whatever reason to move away from the beam," asked Neil Davison, coordinator of the non-lethal weapons research project at Britain's Bradford University.

"How do you ensure that the dose doesn't cross the threshold for permanent damage? Does the weapon cut out to prevent overexposure?," he said.

The magazine said a vehicle-mounted version of the weapon named Sheriff was scheduled for service in Iraq in 2006 and that US Marines and police were both working on portable versions.

3. I'd love to see

intended victims of that hold up some type of mirror to reflect that back. Then see the attackers who fired it cry that they were attacked with a deadly weapon.

Nazism is alive and well it seems.. *sigh*

4. In the inner city where we are armed with alley apples....

A convenient garbage can lid might be useful. ;)
