Comment on Israel drops 'depleted uranium bombs' inside Beirut: Official
Kaboom@reddthat.com 2 months ago
So terrorist claims something absurd that makes them out to be a victim? Again?
Does anyone outside of Lemmy believe them at this point? Boy who cried wolf syndrome.
Depleted uranium is used in armor piercing tank shells, armor piercing autocannon rounds, and bunker buster bombs. The high density of Uranium helps with penetration. Depleted uranium is commonly used for that purpose. Tungsten is a more expensive and slightly worse alternative used by other countries.
We know the Israeli Air Force used bunker buster bombs to kill Nasrallah in his bunker, possibly BLU-109.
So this whole story is certainly plausible.
Plausible yes. Painting it as if it were doctrine is not.
DU is toxic and radioactive, but the radioactivity is stopped by a literal sheet of paper. So the article is just panic inducing propaganda intended for people who want yet another reason to hate on Israel

Oh good. I’ll just line my lungs with paper, then?

Lebanese people are not labelled terrorist by any country. With the exceptions of Israel, of course. But even Israel doesn’t dare to state that directly, so they instead claim all killed civilians as Hezbollah operatives. But their global standing is nonexistent since they are actively committing a genocide against Palestinian people at the moment. They will be remembered as the next Nazis in the history books.
If you are either uneducated or brainwashed enough to believe that a 3-year-old or 5-year-old child is a Hezbollah operative, there is no helping you.
Also, the same can be said for the terrorist state of Israel. Should anyone believe any of their claims since they are known for terrorist attacks?
