North Korea, a nuclear-armed nation, regularly attacks its nearest neighbor for no reason whatsoever, most recently torpedoing a South Korean ship and killing dozens of sailors.
North Korea, a nuclear-armed nation, regularly threatens to attack its neighbors and the United States.
North Korea, a nuclear-armed nation, regularly assists other nations in trying to achieve nuclear weaponization, most recently, Syria.
North Korea, a nuclear-armed nation, regularly sells arms to outlaw organizations like Hizballah.
North Korea, a nuclear-armed nation, never signed the NPT.
So which nuclear-armed nation is the focus of disarmament at the current NPT meeting in New York?
The United States and Egypt are working to bridge differences on a proposed Middle East nuclear arms ban, an idea that could one day force Israel to scrap any atom bombs it has, UN diplomats say.
The US efforts to secure a deal with Egypt and other Arab countries reflect Washington’s concern to win their backing for sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program by offering a concession over US ally Israel, even though Washington says such a ban is impossible without peace in the Middle East.
Western diplomats say that the success or failure of a month-long meeting on the 1970 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) currently under way in New York hinges on the sensitive negotiations on an Egyptian proposal to hold a conference on establishing a zone free of nuclear arms in the Middle East.
[…] If there is no deal on the Middle East, envoys say, there can be no agreement on a final declaration that “names and shames” Iran and North Korea and acknowledges the disarmament steps the big powers have taken, which Washington and its allies want.
The linkage between Israel’s nuclear program and Iran’s is nearly complete. Next on the anti-Israel agenda: Labeling Israel an outlaw state like South Africa. Since they really can’t move forward on the bogus apartheid charges, they’ll fasten on the nukes. The fact that India and Pakistan are also nuclear-armed? Irrelevant. The fact that Pakistan helped create Iran’s nuclear program? Irrelevant. The fact that Russia is helping Iran attain nukes? Irrelevant.
None of them is Israel. What’s the difference between Israel and all those other countries? Hm. Let’s think. Starts with a “J”….
What time is it, kiddies? That’s right, it’s Israeli Double Standard Time. But don’t worry! It only occurs on days that end with a “y”!
The Ynet link is broke. You have an extra \ on that end that should be deleted.
I would love to see the Israeli ambassador come out and say: “What do we need to do to be left alone? Do we need to threaten the United States with destruction like the several TERRORIST nations that the UN isn’t looking at? Do we need to sell nuclear technology to the highest bidder like the several TERRORIST nations that the UN isn’t looking at? Do we need to threaten our neighbors with destruction near daily like the several TERRORIST nations that the UN isn’t looking at? Or do we need to renounce being Jewish? Exactly what is it that is causing the UN to put us under a microscope?”
Israel needs to stop being so silent on the issue. I don’t mean to come out and admit you have nukes, but at least come out and point out the BS from actual evil countries that is being ignored. Call them out on it. Let’s get it over with!
