In a vote of 43-51, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has rejected a resolution that would have issued a non-binding call for Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT).
The resolution was pushed by Arab nations as a sign of displeasure at the call for a nuclear-free Middle East having been stalled. Israel is the only nation in the region with nuclear arms, and has ruled out ever giving them up.
US Envoy Joe Macmanus expressed anger that the resolution was even allowed to be brought up for a vote, saying that any questioning of Israeli arms was a threat to disarmament.
The international community endorsed the idea of a nuclear-free Middle East in 2010, with the US government voting in favor. After apparently realizing that Israel is in the Middle East, the Obama Administration backtracked, condemned the resolution, and insisted Israel has a “right” to such arms.
Why Israel should have the right to such weapon and other countries can not? We ask Obama to explain this………this is the question that American should be asking instead of supporting Obama to attack Iran and Syria.If you wish to stop terrorism, stop terrorizing others, this is simple and normal formula that does not go into the American politicians head. The behavior of some American politicians and law makers are such that if they are domestic servants of Israel…….
'the Obama Administration backtracked, condemned the resolution, and insisted Israel has a “right” to such arms.' The Washington establishment admits that Israel has such arms, but, of course, the American law that forbids aid to nuclear nations does not apply because no law applies to Israel. That appears to be the logic. Americans have no more a right to the rule of law than do the non-Jews in occupied Palestine, because Washington is Zionist Occupied.
As Haaretz says:
"Member states of the UN nuclear agency on Friday rejected an Iranian-backed Arab bid to single out Israel for criticism over its assumed atomic arsenal, in a diplomatic victory for Western powers that opposed the initiative."
"U.S. and Israeli officials – who see Iran's atomic activity as the main proliferation threat – have said a nuclear arms-free zone in the Middle East could not be a reality until there was broad Arab-Israeli peace and Iran curbed its program."
In a word, "never"
I would love for Obama to tell the World why Israel has a "right" to such arms, it's the only country in the middle east who is threating it's neighbors, bomb civilian neighbor woods with the same 'such arms' Obama and the IAEA wants them to keep.
US foreign policy as it applies in the Middle East is the most insane and stupid way
forward. It is destructive , anti democratic and DANGEROUS. Imagine, the most aggressive
RACIST and IMMORAL state in the Middle East, is the only state that can have WMD incuding nuclear weapons, WOW!
Israel is NOT our friend! Remember the USS Liberty!!!
The giant parasite rides again ! Above the law ! The voices of reason are mocked by this clinging vine that chokes the VERY life force from all things good and decent ! The vine should be pruned lest it literally choke its ma$ter to DEATH. ( gurgling sounds)
