this is quite disturbing

Disturbing, but birth defects, health issues, etc are always side effects of war. You can't drop bombs full of lethal materials out of the sky and expect there to be no negative consequences. There are still far reaching effects in Vietnam due to the use of Agent Orange, and that war took place farther back than most people on this forum are old.

No birth defects are not always a side of war. They are only a side effect of wars where WMDs are used(nuclear, chemical & biological weapons). Like the one used by Israel on Gaza with white phosphorus.

Incorrect. One needn't use chemical or biological weapons to release harmful gasses/contamination.

All wars have consequences, but some materials have far reaching consequences. Depleted uranium will make parts of Iraq uninhabitable for millions of years.

Of course, no one expects the culprits to take responsibility, especially when the global media is complicit in hiding their crimes, but it doesn't mean the victims have to forget.

"We will never forget" should be the motto of the victims of DU, drones and other war crimes by the West. Sooner or later, eventually, the day of reckoning will come when the war criminals will be held accountable. It may take a hundred years, but they WILL be held accountable.
