Israeli Crimes Against Humanity (Campaign Update)

CASF | 31.10.2006 23:55 | Palestine

At the dawn of the 21st Century, we believe humanity must have the inalienable right NOT to be killed or maimed by cluster bombs in their front yard, witness their dying or dead baby's wounds catch fire when exposed to air, or suffer new forms of cancer caused by contamination with uranium bombs.

The Israeli crimes against humanity have not ended. The contamination legacy of Israeli 'enriched uranium bombs' used in southern Lebanon is surfacing.
According to Dr Chris Busby, the British Scientific Secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk, soil samples taken from two sites destroyed by "Israeli heavy or guided bombs showed 'elevated radiation signatures.'"

"'The health effects on local civilian populations following the use of large uranium penetrators and the large amounts of respirable uranium oxide particles in the atmosphere,' Busby report says, 'are likely to be significant.'"

The revelations about the Israeli use of enriched uranium bombs come amid the mounting casualty toll claimed by the 1.2 million unexploded cluster bombs fired by Israeli artillery during the last three days of the conflict [despite the ceasefire]. The cluster munitions have killed at least 22 souls, mostly women and children, maimed more than 120 civilians and wounded many more.

Meanwhile, the murder toll in Gaza reached 311 Palestinians last week including 62 children and 13 women, with another 1071 injured, including 315 children and 44 women since the beginning of Israel's 'Operation Summer Rains' this June.

The Petition summarized below is addressed to the UN General Assembly. If you oppose this latest episode of premeditated Israeli atrocities against the civilians, please endorse Petition and make it available on your network for everyone to sign.
