(105,917 posts)You chose the 'nuclear bomb' claim. Don't run away from it. You could have posted one of many videos that actually show larger explosions, but you chose the one that claims it was a nuclear bomb - which no-one believes, apart from the nutter who made that video.
You are wittering on about depleted uranium, but that is entirely irrelevant to either nuclear explosions (it's 'depleted' because they've extracted the isotope of uranium that can produce a fission explosion), and probably to this attack too - as you've been told, DU is not explosive - it's used simply for its mass to help penetration.
You are trying to spread extremely dangerous rumours. Luckily, no-one on DU believes you so far, but there may be someone gullible enough to do so. You are being very irresponsible. I suggest you delete the video in the OP, and stick to reality, not the imagination of an anonymous YouTuber.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume this was your ignorance, and not an intentional attempt to make Israel look bad by claiming they used a nuclear weapon. But, if you refuse to edit out the idiotic video in the OP, now that you've been told repeatedly that you're wrong, I think we'll have to assume you really are warmongering.
"As you can see I posted the NYT article which talks about Iran shipping Hezbollah a nuclear weapon "
No, that's a lie. The NYT article talks about "Iranian nuclear installations that Israeli and American officials believe are part of an Iranian nuclear weapons program. ["b]Nowhere does it claim that Iran shipped Hezbollah a nuclear weapon. That is such an irresponsible thing to write. It's flatly untrue. It's a lie. You need to remove that from your posts too.
