Israel Says It Found Hamas Files with Chemical Weapons Plans
cf.org ^ | 10/21/2023 | Citizen Frank

Posted on 10/21/2023 4:02:51 PM PDT by bitt

The Israeli military found a USB key with instructions for the production of a “cyanide dispersion device” on the body of a Hamas operative who participated in the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, according to two Israeli officials and a copy of a classified Israeli Foreign Ministry cable obtained by Axios.

It is not clear from the file whether Hamas had any serious or operational plan for using makeshift chemical weapons or whether the group had attempted to produce them.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry’s weapons of mass destruction non-proliferation department sent a classified cable to Israeli embassies in dozens of capitals worldwide, including Washington, on Thursday under the headline: “Hamas intention of using chemical weapons.”

The authenticity of the Hamas file could not be independently confirmed by Axios, but Israeli officials have previously said they wouldn’t share information with allies if they didn’t think it was authentic and reliable.

A Hamas spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Israeli intelligence traced the origin of the document to a 2003 Al-Qaeda manual, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said in the cable.

“This finding points to an intention by Hamas to use chemical weapons as part of its terror attack against civilians,” the cable alleges.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry sent the original file with an English description to its embassies and in the cable asked them to privately transfer it to the embassies’ host governments and not use it publicly in any way.

Reminds me of yellow cake. Who can one trust? Israel is high on the list but is that saying much?

Warm up the nukes. If Israel is hit with a cyanide device, you can kiss Gaza goodbye, along with Lebanon, and Syria.

Well let’s just nuke Palestine right now. How about 100 Megatons? Will that do for you?

It would be appropriate to use that gas in the tunnels.

“I wonder if Israel has any neutron bombs.”

We gave ours up supposedly. I think they were the best for the continuation of civilization. Preserve the artifacts and records.

Palestine is just a 'mindset'. It's not a real country. Just like the U.S. is a mindset, and could be wiped off the face of the earth by just forgetting what is stands for and undoing all of its ideals and constitution, which is what the democrats have been attempting for over 100 years.

Hezbollah and Hamas and Iran can be wiped off the face of the earth, but, before that happens, their religion is their constitution and that constitution needs to be eradicated from the face of the earth. If that doesn't happen, the planet is doomed to having wars forever, stemming out of the middle-east.

This seems to be a relatively small scale recipe intended to be delivered to Israeli Arabs or to the PA for local terrorism.

Does anyone doubt the Arabs and Iranians were just about the slander Israel with using chemical weapons?

A similar case by the American Democrats——

The Dems in DC made up a story that the simple irritant tear gas sprayed to stop violent protesters coming toward Trump Melania when he carried the old Bible across the street to St.John’s Episcopal Church was “a chemical agent” and “a chemical weapon.”
The protesters had already set fire the parish house of the church itself and had done damage to fences, plus had physically injured the Secret Service and others.

June 2020 Fox News:

WASHINGTON — At least 50 Secret Service agents were injured during weekend protests over the death of George Floyd. Some agents were injured by thrown bottles and Molotov cocktails as they assisted U.S. Marshals and Drug Enforcement Administration agents in monitoring the protests, Fox News reports.


General Milley apologized later to the protesters for the intimidating deployment of security against their right to free speech.

It took days for Congress and the media to admit that only mild irritant tear gas was used-—NOT “chemical agents.”

Fancy asking one of these inbred savages for comment.

To those that have worked NBC for any length of time we know where it comes from. Hamas gets it from Iran who gets it from China. Here’s an interesting report from Rand. And it is far more extensive than you can imagine.

I think I have heard this WMD BS before. Let’s enter a 20 year war and spend a few trillion, kill a few million, leave countries completely destroyed, and waste Americans lives. If they’re a treat, nuke them from orbit otherwise NO.

Same BS claims for Assad in Syria, which even Trump fell for the first time.
