Israel is reportedly developing a biological weapon that would harm Arabs while leaving Jews unaffected, according to a report in London's Sunday Times.

The report, citing Israeli military and western intelligence sources, says that scientists are trying to identify distinctive genes carried by Arabs to create a genetically modified bacterium or virus.

The "ethno-bomb" is reportedly Israel's response to the threat that Iraq may be just weeks away from completing its own biological weapons.

The "ethno-bomb" program is based at Israel's Nes Tziyona research facility. Scientists are trying to use viruses and bacteria to alter DNA inside living cells and attack only those cells bearing Arabic genes.

The task is very complex because both Arabs and Jews are Semitic peoples. But according to the report, the Israelis have succeeded in isolating particular characteristics of certain Arabs, "particularly the Iraqi people."

Dedi Zucker, a member of the Israeli parliament, denounced the research in the Sunday Times. "Morally, based on our history, and our tradition and our experience, such a weapon is monstrous and should be denied."

Last month, Foreign Report claimed that Israel was following in the ignominious footsteps of apartheid-era research, in their supposed efforts to develop an "ethnic bullet."

Interesting read, if not appalling at the same time. It is getting beyond a joke, and when people try and be positive about the future, they are seriously blinded by the war with ourselves which is going on.

What about mixed races? I know its not likely to happen but obviously they haven't thought it through!

Nice Post mate :thumbsup:

I think we're getting too clever for our own good. At this rate we'll end up wiping ourselves out. Crazy!

Peace

Hmmm, sounds a bit sketchy to be honest, I'm no biologist but I'd imagine that'd extremly difficult to acheive as well as the fact that if it where to occur then a new virus releasedwould be extremely unpredictible potentially creating a very large epidemic quickly and very possibly mutating to attack many others.

Forgive my skepticisic mate, have you got the article to hand, be nice to have a read. Oh and if turns out to be true I shall gladly eat my words.
