#Israel using internationally banned bombs in #Lebanon, chemists union says
October 7, 2024
"The Syndicate of Chemists in Lebanon (#SCL) warned yesterday that the extent of destruction and the depth of damage to buildings and the ground confirms the use of internationally banned bombs containing #DepletedUranium by #Israeli forces, warning of the risk of contracting many diseases as a result of inhaling the [#radioactive] dust caused by the bombing.
"It said in a 'very important warning” that it condemns “the barbaric aggression against civilians in Lebanon and the massacres being committed against the Lebanese people,' noting that the warning aims 'to raise awareness about the effects of inhaling the dust from Israeli bombings in several Lebanese areas.'
"'The extent of destruction and the penetration of buildings and ground by dozens of metres is evidence of the use of #bombs containing depleted #uranium, which has tremendous penetrating power,' it added.
"The SCL stressed that “the use of such types of internationally banned weapons, especially in densely populated #Beirut, leads to massive destruction, and their dust causes many diseases, especially when inhaled.'
"The SCL called on 'the international community to stop the aggression against Lebanon, and to stop the use of internationally banned bombs.'
"It also called on the Lebanese state to file a lawsuit with the #UNSecurityCouncil 'against the violations taking place on Lebanese soil and the attempted mass killings of innocent #civilians.'"

NEW re. Canadian military’s handling of contracts with #Emic, a firm I revealed in my 2020 OCCRP article set up by staff of #CambridgeAnalytica parent #SCL to continue work for governments after the scandal. Part of a larger pattern of failures and misjudged attempts to develop influence ‘innovations’ that my research & reporting of David Pugliese showed infringed rights of citizens. Now documents held by the military have vanished. We ask why.

Ex-FIFA executive Jack Warner financed work by Cambridge Analytica parent SCL on a voter-suppression campaign in Trinidad.
Warner is fighting US extradition on charges he accepted $5 million in bribes to vote for Russia to be awarded 2018 world cup.
