Israel working on biological weapon that targets Arabs
November 22 (?), 1998
LONDON (AP) - Israel is trying to identity genes carried only by Arabs
that could be used to develop a biological weapon that would harm Arabs
but not Jews, the Sunday Times reported.
The newspaper attributed its report to unidentified Israeli military and
Western intelligence sources. It said Israeli scientists are working to
create a genetically modified bacterium or virus that only attacks people
who carry certain genes.
The paper said the weapon is seen as Israel's response to the threat of
chemical and biological warfare from Iraq and could be spread by air or
through the water supply.
The newspaper said the program is based at the biological institute in Nes
Tziyona, which it described as the main research facility for Israel's
chemical and biological weapons. According to the report, researchers have
pinpointed "a characteristic in the genetic profile of certain Arab
communities, particularly the Iraqi people.''
The idea of such research has provoked controversy in Israel because of
parallels with the genetic experiments at Auschwitz by Nazi scientist Dr.
Josef Mengele during World War II, the paper said.
"Morally, based on our history, and our tradition and our experience, such
a weapon is monstrous and should be denied,'' Israeli parliament member
Dedi Zucker is quoted as saying.
Officials at Porton Down, Britain's biological defense facility, said such
weapons were theoretically possible, the newspaper said.
