The International Atomic Energy Agency’s annual September meeting is on the horizon, and that means the usual round of angry Israeli condemnations for Arab nations attempting to put their nuclear arsenal on the agenda.
The IAEA talks regularly include discussion of the stalled Nuclear-Free Middle East initiative, and that necessarily means discussion of the only nuclear armed state in the region.
Israel insists that any discussion of their nuclear arsenal is “counterproductive” and an attempt to “bash Israel,” while officials reiterated their opposition to a nuclear arms-free Middle East, citing neighbors that Israel doesn’t like.
Still, at least one Arab envoy said that efforts to get Israel’s arsenal under IAEA safeguards would continue, and to get Israel to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which Israel has repeatedly ruled out.
And if they do Israel is going to nuke them all.., then what going to happen to Israeli people with all that inhalation of chemicals, the cancers of all kind and etc. do Israel have a cure for that as well, or they just as usual bluffing. Look: for USA the israel has been a tool playing with arab nations over 60 years, they want for palestinians to be the second or third citizen of Israel. For their sake, Saudis and UAE playing along the game plan by the USA and Israel selling the Palestinians rights by bribing them, as they do in Egypt and as they do in Syria, money is no object for these regimes they get paid by the oil companies while these companies running the western vulture capitalism political culture.
The Arabs can't even complain about Israel's 'non existent' nukes? That's all Israel and its stooges do regarding Iran's non existent nukes. It's time someone raised the problem that they exist in Congress. That would immediately require the US to stop aid to Israel, so that ain't gonna happen.
I guess Israel is sensitive about this issue as they used a nuke against Syria on 4/5 May 2013.
It restarted the cold war with a bang, the Russian boomers are back out to sea and the arms race is back on.
Our governmental leaders are insane.
The footage alleging to prove that it was a nuke is part of the proof that it wasn't a nuke (the rest of the proof is that there's been precisely zero subsequent evidence of radioactivity above background levels). EMP would have toasted the electronics. It was probably a MOAB.
Israel is the only criminal in the world who is allowed to object to allegations of its crimes. Because of our support, it is allowed to criticize the non-existent nukes in Iran, a signatory of the NPT who is pursuing permissible use of nuclear energy, while itself continuing to stockpile a huge arsenal of nukes.
We have lost our prestige and moral standing in the world by continuing to enable that rogue nation. Isn't it time we lynched our Israel-firster politicians? These venal traitors continue to funnel our treasure to Israel while our own infrastructure rots and our own citizens wander homeless, and our sons and daughters die in foreign lands fighting Israel's enemies.
Let's start by tearing down our mainstream media that hides the truth from our citizenry and forestalls the backlash that is long overdue. Once that is done, eyes will open and pitchforks will be brandished. Stop paying for newspapers and TV. The Internet has more truth than these zionist controlled "journalists".
As for the afore mentioned venal traitors that occupy our senate and the house, could we please not re-elect them? Israel funds their elections with the very same money that these dogs stole from us and sent to that shi*ty little country! Talk about a vicious cycle!
Damn them all to hell!
Agreed. Nothing gets done to end the handout of US taxpayer treasure to Israel, in particular, until we stop electing those who have a problem with putting the US first instead of a foreign country – whose plans btw, are not necessarily in line with the US welfare. Fire them all and pray the next batch is not as beholden to the Israelis as the current class of idiots.
But, you know, I'm not putting much faith in that happening. I just don't believe the majority of those who vote understand what the problem is – and might not even care…But, if asked, they're all Patriots. But, that's just this old Curmudgeon's opinion…and on this I'd love to be proven wrong.
I agree I do not know how anyone could have stated it better.
Interesting that Obama recently spoke out for (eventual) total nuclear disarmament. But if the nuclear capability of Israel is never broached how is that going to work ? I don't think I would like to see a world in which Israel is the only nation armed with nukes. That might be much worse that the present status quo which is already extremely dangerous.
This is a golden opportunity for the US to show good faith by demanding Israel open its nuclear weapons programs to IAEA inspections just as they demand Iran to do the same. However, the sad reality is US politicians from both parties are obedient to the Israel lobby. Not only do they take tax dollars from Americans and give them to the Jewish state, they sacrifice the lives of American military people for the benefit of their political careers which need support from the Israel lobby.
One way to strike the root of the problem is to take the advice of the American founder and Deist Thomas Paine. In his monumental book on God, Deism and religion, The Age of Reason, The Complete Edition, Paine called for a revolution in religion based on our innate God-given reason and Deism. This would smash the "chosen people" myth and may even give politicians courage to stand up to the Israel lobby.

The IAEA is aware that Israel is armed with nuclear weapons, so why is the Arabs still complaining to an organization that is impotent.
How is it that a non-member, a defiant non-signatory, has so much say over what is discussed at meetings of members who did sign.
Same question on how they should deal with Iran, one of their own under the Treaty, which Israel defiantly did not sign and is itself in violation?
It is obnoxious.
