Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz angrily condemned Iranian President Hassan Rouhani today, accusing him of trying to “divert attention” from the ongoing international dispute over the Iranian nuclear program by spending so much time talking about that self-same program.
“The man is an expert with tricks,” Steinitz reasoned, arguing that all the talk about a nuclear-free Middle East amounted to an anti-Israel plot, since Israel is the only nation in the region with nuclear weapons.
Steinitz’s comments are just the latest in an array of Israeli comments condemning peace talks with Iran in general, and pushing Western nations to tell Iran, now that it has elected a pro-diplomacy president, that it is “too late” for diplomacy.
Some analysts inside Israel have warned the nation’s anti-peace policy is putting them in an ugly spot diplomatically, though with Israel’s domestic media reporting absurd falsehoods as absolute fact, the policy seems like it might have some currency.
Today alone Israeli outlets reported simultaneously that Iran already had nuclear weapons, and simultaneously that they believe Iran could make enough 92 percent uranium to make a bomb within 2 months, even though Iran has never even attempted enrichment beyond 20 percent.
Heard somewhere that it was 1938 again. I do believe this soap shop is really a front for lampshade production.
Which plague was it after which the switch happened from 'pharoah hardened his heart' to 'god hardened pharoah's heart?' Not that it matters. It's not even that it doesn't occur to them that -well- they're pharoah…they just know what the copyrighted narratives are for.
The Israelis never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
The hate the Jewish state of Israel has for its neighbors is inconceivable, they're no different from the so-called terrorist they claim are trying to destroy their racist apartheid state.
Does Fukushima make it obvious that the difference between atomic swords and atomic plowshares is pretty negligible. World-wide there should be no new power plants, nor should existing ones be tolerated.
Jolly good, let's burn lots of nice COAL instead.
Luddites will have us choking to death so that they aren't frightened by something the don't understand.
Look up 'numbers of deaths from coal use' and 'numbers of deaths from nuke power plant accidents' and get back to me- also, you might look at the good old ice-caps in Greenland and Antarctica, in addition to AGW they are being covered by ash from forest fires and fossil fuel burning, and melting even faster. Nuclear, along with solar and wind, CAN mitigate this!
Riighhht…. while the "West" is playing chicken little and in thrall to bouts of manufactured green panic, not knowing whether to go back to coal for good or live with brownouts while squandering resources on wind power and subsidizing solar at the most impossible locations, Russia is pushing hard for export of nuclear plants, even of fast breeder reactors, and getting some success. Nukes are here to stay.
The daily horror show.
