The controversy over Germany’s decision to give heavily-subsidized nuclear-capable submarines to Israel centered largely around Israel’s nuclear weapons program, and the concern that Germany would be helping them deploy WMDs abroad. This fear appears to have been warranted.
It is now being reported that Israel is doing exactly that, loading the subs with nukes that are to be launched by a secret “hydraulic ejection system” that Germany installed for them. German officials have repeatedly insisted they were “unaware” of the plan.
But now that they’re been caught out helping Israel in this manner, German officials are defending it, saying that they had “always assumed” Israel would load nukes on the submarines.
Though Israel doesn’t officially admit to its widely known program, Defense Minister Ehud Barak didn’t appear to shy away from the matter either, saying that Germany “should be proud” of having helped Israel with the deployments.
And all with a "Green" party so involved? I guess so long as the nuclear winds don't drift over the Vaterland it's "alles in ordnung".
Let's see if the world's nuclear community ignores this development. Moreover, let's see if our own US government ignores it. Nobody with even half a brain could miss the gross hypocrisy of this if it goes unchallenged.
Undeclared nuclear weapons at loose on the high seas? Looks to me like it's open season on Israel- THEY are the biggest threat to world peace, not Iran.
I firmly believe the time will when Israeli nukes will be hunted down and neutralized. The wold powers might be stupid but they are not crazy.
What planet do you live on?
The US Congress and the Isreali's are not just crazy — they are madmen.
Agree Andron, I fear Zionist rulers in Israel will destroy the world before there is true peace in the Middle East.
so when Israel imports weaponry is it still called "smuggling" or does that only apply to the Hamas goverment >
You got that wrong, when Isreal does it, it's called "weapons deals" or "arms sells" same applies to the US. For all others, it's weapons smuggling. Orwell coined that action as the act of Doublespeak.
It won't be long before Israel turn those nukes
Against the US and also Europe, it will be too
Late then to realize how stupid and crazy they
were.
Yes it's called the "Samson Option".
As horrible as it sounds, that would be the only way in which the world is forced to recognize the threat that Isreal poses and do something to neutralize them.
There's a reason it's called the 'Samson Option'. The subtext of that title implies: 'We will gladly destroy ourselves to destroy you'. Strangely enough it is the very same fanatical position that Israel claims that Iran would take.
There´s a reason the CND magazine is called SANITY.
It is difficult to figure out why German gave Israel the very weapon which could destroy berlin. I wonder what is wrong with Merkle? Is she just stupid or is she just that much into destroying her own people. I have watched her on her trips to Israel and I figured she had to act like a prostitute when in the home of hte beast but the submarines and the danger to civilization to have these weapons in a nation like Israel is beyond understanding. Why Merkel would give the subs away is amazing and I hope it was because they actually put a fatal flaw so that the sub blow up as the madmen try to use it to shot off a nuke bomb. Merkel sounds very much like the IMF woman who yells greece is not suffering enough but she fails to pay any taxes. A world of special people is a world not good for most.
Thats because Germany is constantley being harassed by Israel over the Holocaust and it pretty much blackmails the government to get what they want. If Germany doesnt play ball they will use the holocaust card everytime. What other group of people you know use a tradegy to get what they want? These people are pyschoes.
I feel sorry for the German people. They are doomed to always end up on the wrong side of history. First the holocaust by the Nazis and now the coming destruction of the ME by the zionists.
MIC Maybe? False flag or not!
Time for Merkel and the other Germans to grow a pair and stop letting themselves be beaten over the head with the "holcaust" cudgel.
And, who has greater moral culpability? The children and grandchildren of former Nazis or the people now personally dropping and responsible for shooting and dropping white phosphorous upon innocent Palestinian non-combatants?
Hey, Germany, get a pair!
I think Germany is still feeling the guilt from the Holocaust hanging over them. Why do you think we are still making so many WWII/ Holocaust movies after all these years ? It has become part of our subconscious.
Tom,
Drizza is correct. Merkel, the former member of the East German communist party, had a complete change of heart when the Berlin Wall fell, and it had nothing to do with conviction, just a sense of which way the wind was blowing when it came to her ambition. If the wall were still there, guess which side she'd be on?
Merkel has made the defence of Israel a "state reason" in Germany, it's all a question of guilt for Germany's past sins, and, as everyone knows, if you don't succumb to Israeli wishes, then you're obviously anti-semitic. There is no depth to Merkels obsequiousness towards Israel and the U.S.
Merkel can prostitute herself all she likes, the problem being, that the innocent Palestinians have to pay for it,
'King' Benjamin Netanyahu is probably the most insane madman on Earth – a warmongering Zionist hell bent on war.
And of course – the Zionist TRAITORS in our Congress support this madman.
“Israel Deploys Nukes on German-Built Subs”
May be it wants blowback on Germans for the hollowCaust.
If Israel ever uses nukes, it will be nuked…no questions asked.
Hey man, what about all the innocents living there and around?
Pure evil.
Imagine that, Germany of all countries giving nukes to an NPT rogue nuclear nation. Shouldn't the IAEA be demanding some answers and the UN imposing all kinds of sanctions?
Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! Me thinks that the Germans are reviving their old dream of world domination thru their former victim. What strange bedfellows politics makes!
Time to put Germany and Israel on the "axis of evil" list.
Let them be listed jointly: Israel/Germany. Who could miss the irony?
This has been in the works for years and anyone reading Haaretz or other Israeli papers would have known it, both to patrol the water it already controls, legally or otherwise, but also to venture out elsewhere, including the Persian Gulf, and to equip them with nuclear warheads to maintain not only a first strike capability but a second or third strike capability. This makes it all the more critical to push for nuclear disarmament in the Middle East and elsewhere and to pressure the Germans to abrogate these contracts and refuse to deliver the submarines still under contract. Germany has really dropped the ball on this and should not be let off the hook. They would do better to sell the subs to the Chinese, and earn full value under the contracts than to subsidize what has become under Netanyahu an even greater existential threat to the Middle East, Central Asia and elsewhere in the world.
It is a bad time to be German. These people have totally capitulated to the Zionists in their midst lead by Angela the Vampire Merkel.
All Germans now are neutered and only good at working in Harem quarters.
