Treatments
editI corrected the "5% sodium hypochlorite solution" comment in the "Protective Measures" section to reflect the modern standards per MCWP 3-37.3 w/change 1. I could flush out this section with more information, but it would just end up needing to have its own section. I am not exactly sure why there is a treatment section at all in an encyclopedic entry about bio Weapons in the first place - NBCD Chief
Poison is biological warfare
editSomeone removed Israel poisoning Palestinian lands in the West Bank claiming it is not biological warfare. See here, poison is mentioned several times in the article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7150198/ Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 20:55, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
- The source cited doesn't mention biological warfare. Not every instance of poisoning is such. Also undue weight to make an entire section for this. Dovidroth (talk) 05:29, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Not every use of poison is biological warfare, but when poison is used in war, it is, so the info belongs here. The section is not "undue weight", there are sections in the article for many different wars, and this is about the Arab-Israeli conflict, so it needs its own section as it doesn't fit anywhere else.--Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 19:04, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- Poison falls closer to chemical warfare than biological warfare. Ap2495 (talk) 18:26, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

The part about biological warfare in the Israeli-Arab war is just ridiculous
editThis is nothing but nonsense made up without any actual evidence by two "historians" who obviously just look for attention. The accusations also doesn't make any sense, why focusing only on villages that were already evacuated?, the only reason why these refugees didn't return is because Israel never allowed them to return, how poisoning the wells will prevent them from returning anyway?, unless the Haganah made the well-poisoning operation known to everybody this claim doesn't make any sense.
Even the historians that believe in Aliens visiting ancient people have better theories since they have at least an internal logic. ThunderheadX (talk) 01:57, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
