Four weeks of UN efforts to get together a conference on a nuclear weapons ban in the Middle East ended in failure today, with the US spurning the deal on the conference, citing Israel.
Though the US initially backed the nuclear-free Middle East effort, they later realized Israel is the only nation in the region with such arms, and has since criticized the effort as unfair.
Though US officials have been to Israel in recent days to try to get them to sign off on some vague notion of an eventual nuclear-free Middle East, there was no progress, as Israel won’t even publicly affirm their arsenal.
After failing to get Israel to okay the deal, the US angrily blamed Egypt for the whole thing, saying they’d “cynically manipulated” the process by bringing up Israel’s arsenal at all.
So much for Obama's claim he was not going to rubber stamp everything Israel wants.
Business as usual.
Are we hypocrite criminal scum or what?
Israel was created in 1949, just when Empire USA was starting to establish dominance over Middle-East oil. So, Israel has but one purpose, to be a terrorist state that maximizes profit in trading war materials for Middle-East oil.
And so, the power combine of the corporate rich that rules Empire USA, they who supply over 90% of political donations in both USA and Israel and thereby establish an absolute dictatorship over both countries, why would they be so stupid as to allow Israel to have real nukes that could blow up their Empire?
"…they later realized Israel is the only nation in the region with such arms…"
Bullsh!t…they know exactly who has what – and how many. So, for what reason would they advocate and then run for the hills pointing fingers at the Egyptians? What's the real reason? What's the other hand doing that they don't want anyone to see? What's the point of the shell game this time?
What is the point of the shell game this time? Silly boy, you should know by now that the point of the game is for the Israelis to ALWAYS get their way – to have nukes, but only them; to steal whatever land that the Israelis covet; to always get money out of America but never, never give any back; ….cause when you are the “chosen people” your sh-t never stinks.
They don't require slight of hand for that…they brazenly stand at the microphones and tell us that all the time…just listen to CSPAN or read the NYT or WSJ or WAPO…or Faux News…they're not afraid of saying it.
Actually, Arafat already tried this. Same thing, Israel won't admit to having any nukes, and continues to refuse to sign the NPT. The difference is Arafat tried this way before Iran even thought of having nukes. So you can say, If we would of pushed for a Nuclear Free Middle East, back when Arafat was alive, there would be no Iran Nuclear Issue now.
Them cynical manipulators, bringing up the facts on the ground as they stand, how dare they?
Sure would suck to single out who the legitimate concerns would actually tend to single out… So hey, why not tell the world that Iraq has 'wmd' again? That way, you won't have to focus on just who the focus would be on if reality trumped personal comfort…
Hmmm…
cynical [sin-i-kuh l] adjective
1. distrusting or disparaging the motives of others; like or characteristic of a cynic.
2. showing contempt for accepted standards of honesty or morality by one's actions, especially by actions that exploit the scruples of others.
[think I can rule out 3 & 4]
By (1), they'd mean there's an implication that Israel has motives, and hence interests.
By (2), the further implication that said interests are contrary to everyone else's is indeed contrary to long established 'accepted standards of honesty or morality,' since it is a long accepted standard to be dishonest and immoral on her behalf.
What a load of BULL____ from the "Champions Of Democracy" – the USG.
The middle east state should go ahead on their own, then give Israel the opportunity to join, or not.
