Despite repeated US warnings not to mention Israel during next week’s Vienna meetings of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), reports suggest that a number of Arab nations are planning to bring the topic up again and to urge Israel to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The US is expected to vigorously oppose this effort.
The US had previously condemned an effort to include Israel’s nuclear arsenal, the only one in the Middle East, as a topic for discussion at any IAEA meeting, insisting it was “uncalled for” and was part of a plot to turn attention away from the US goal of centering nearly the entire meeting on Iran’s civilian program.
Arab nations have been hoping to revive the “Nuclear-Free Middle East” proposal, an effort the US initially voted for but then condemned as a “mistake” because it would assume Israel’s joining the NPT, as the last nation in the region which has yet to do so.
But Israel has condemned such calls as unfair and ruled out ever signing the NPT. President Obama has insisted that Israel has an inherent “right” to possess a nuclear arsenal.
So long as Israel exists in its current political form, meaning Zionist, it will never give up its nuclear arsenal. Never. You can take that to the bank.
All these summits and meetings are useless.
This is the beginning of an end to expose US and Israel in double standard and americans will be looser. Every unjust decision will cost american crediblity. This is the lesson of the history, you can,t hide wrong doing. Allah may punish america for their killings on innocent Muslims. Americans have given another present to Pakistan in our Idd by killing 30 civilians in which children and women were victims and we pray to punish wrong doers and hope it will happen in some or the other form.
This is the sort of hypocrisy that makes America really hated.
I thought Israel was God's chosen people and he would fight all of their battles for them, if they had faith. Why do they need a nuclear arsenal. They must have doubts about their main man.
I would hardly call the mass murder of 6 million of my co-religionists in the space of 5 or 6 years a ringing endorsement by the Almighty of my status as a chosen people– but then again, that's just me.
it's about time
I've never seen people who are more enthusiastic and overtly obvious about their hypocracy. If the subject matter weren't so dire, it would be comedy. The sheer gall is almost overwhelming
Has Israel ever told the truth about anything? ANYTHING???
The Arab nations should drop out of the NPT since it's obvious BS. Then they should all announce they are starting nuclear weapons development since they need to defend themselves from the rouge nation of Israel.
"By way of deception thou shalt do war…"
What else do we expect?
We would also like Israel to remove the nuclear arsenal they have stored in Australia. Yes, Australia!
Hey man, don't forget that the US and many others, including Israel, store their crappy nuclear waste in our nice little country, so it only goes to show, that not only do we despise the US for this, but also for their non complance with IAEA concerning Israel, but we also despise Israel for what they do in this country.
Phone taps, reverse phone bugs, Nuclear waste, nuclear missiles, cameras, operatives living here, interference in our political system, you name it, they've done it……including the massacre at Port Arthur!
