"Unlike France and Israel, many Americans are ignorant of the fact that phones are two-way microwave radios that are tested while held inches away from the body."

Curious what's different in France and Israel that they get called out special? Don't they sell the same phones there?

A quick search brought up this possibly relevant snippet:

> The World Health Organisation in 2011 [classified] mobile phone radiation as a “possible” human carcinogen and the governments of the United Kingdom, France and Israel issued warnings against mobile phone use by children.
