Booms Over Gaza
Sidestepping the continuing threat of Qassam rockets flying over the Gaza border towards Israeli population centers, The Guardian reported that:
Israel is deploying a terrifying new tactic against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip by letting loose deafening "sound bombs" that cause widespread fear, induce miscarriages and traumatise children.
Both The Guardian and the BBC quote Palestinian Dr Eyad Sarraj, a psychiatrist, who, in a sweeping statement lacking credible scientific or medical evidence, claims:
the sonic booms are having serious effects on children in Gaza, including anxiety, panic, fear, poor concentration and low academic success.
Sarraj also claims that the number of miscarriages among pregnant women increase during periods of frequent sonic booms.
The Guardian states that 28 sonic booms occurred over the course of last week, in addition to 29 during a period in September - hardly a prolonged period of time in which to produce credible medical evidence to back up these claims. The anecdotal evidence of Dr Sarraj, the head of the Gaza Community Mental Health Program (an expert on obstetrics?) is used to back up the story.
In fact, Dr Sarraj is no stranger to giving questionable comment to the media, attempting to explain suicide bombing as the result of the "trauma of Israeli occupation" and stating that "the principle behind [suicide bombing] is that it is better to die in dignity rather than to live in humiliation and shame". Sarraj, while blaming Israel, fails to acknowledge the role of indoctrination and incitement within the Palestinian Authority for creating a breeding ground for suicide bombers.
Hmm...I wonder if the reaction from a sonic boom is as harmful as, say being blown to your atomic structure while grocery shopping, or having your head sawed off by an islamic meatbomb in training?
Not that it's hard to believe that BBC and Guardian would print such trash, but the Paleswines must be really trolling for excuses as to why the Israeli's are so so sooooooo evil.
Sonic boom indeed. The camel-molestors are lucky the Jews are civilized human beings and aren't using napalm on those poor women who've "miscarried", and I suspect the noise has little to do with it...just nature's way of saying that animals shouldn't be born of woman. And for those TRAUMATIZED meatsticks who would rather die than work, strike that, live under the yoke of a people who are many centuries above them on the sociologic scale, and millions of years on the evolutionary one, killing YOURSELF is one thing, asshole, killing the innocent reserves you a special place in hell.
