Subject: [HumanRights] Genotoxic effects of Israeli industrial pollutants on residents of Bruqeen village (Salfit district, Palestine)
Just published: Hammad, Khloud M., and Mazin B. Qumsiyeh (2013):
Genotoxic effects of Israeli industrial pollutants on residents of
Bruqeen village (Salfit district, Palestine), International Journal of
Environmental Studies, DOI: 10.1080/00207233.2013.823050
ABSTRACT: Many industrial byproducts are genotoxic agents that induce
cytogenetic changes and DNA damage. Bruqeen, a Palestinian village in
Salfit district in the northern West bank, is subject to industrial
waste products coming from Barqan Israeli industrial settlement. We
evaluated the extent of chromosomal breaks (Csb) and DNA damage
induced to human cells using whole blood samples from both test and
control sites. Csb were assessed by routine cytogenetic methods and
DNA damage was assessed via the Comet assay which is also called
single cell gel electrophoresis. Cytogenetic analysis for Bruqeen
residents’ sample (n = 30) showed 133 Premature centromere separation
(PCS), 43 Csb, 40 chromatid breaks (Ctb) and 26 dicentrics. In total,
the findings showed an average of 4.08% chromosomal aberrations (CA)
and 3.81% cells with CA. The results of controls (from Bethlehem area
n = 8) showed 21 PCS, 2 Csb, 5 Ctb and 2 dicentric, and in total the
average showed 1.97 CA and 1.91% cells with CA. Statistical analysis
showed that there were no significant differences between exposed and
control subjects for PCS, Ctb and Dicentric (p-value > 0.05), but
there was a statistically significant difference for CA frequency for
cells that have CA and Csb (p-value < 0.05). Comet assay data on the
25 Bruqeen residents showed that there was a significant difference
from those of the control samples (p-value < 0.05).

Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan mentioned Israeli/Zionist involvement
in the events in Egypt. Here is what he was likely referring to:
Zionists Bernard Henry Levy and Tzipi Livni speak in 2011 on plans for
Egypt (if Muslim Brotherhood elected, they would not be allowed to
rule since “democracy is not the ballot box”)

The US, Britain and France (the tripartite) talk about more military
involvement in Syria because of the chemical attack (likely
perpetrated by foreign intelligence agents in Syria). But here is a
bit of interesting news:
Foreign Policy Exclusive: CIA Files Prove America Helped Saddam as He
Gassed Iran; U.S. intelligence officials conveyed the location of the
Iranian troops to Iraq, fully aware that Hussein's military would
attack with chemical weapons, including sarin, a lethal nerve agent.
