    I admit, first time I read that headline I was like, “WHAT? Israel adding Asbestos to their bombs now? How sinister. What’s next - radon?” It took a minute to get up to speed.

        Well, my second thought was, “that’s pretty short-sighted if you’re gonna Zionist all over the destroyed area… why would you introduce a carcinogen when…” and by then it clicked. The zionists don’t want carcinogens either, but explosively spreading existing asbestos is the price they’re willing to pay for genocide.
