Rudd calls for inspections of Israel's nuclear facility

[Jos]

FOREIGN Minister Kevin Rudd has arrived in Israel with a blunt message: allow international inspectors into your nuclear facility.
He has also called on Israel to stop building in Jewish settlements in both the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
In an interview with The Australian before he arrived in Israel last night, Mr Rudd staked out strong positions on both issues.
While many countries are calling on Israel to halt settlement growth, it is Mr Rudd's strong stance on Israel's nuclear facility that is bound to be most controversial in Israel.

Israel refuses to confirm that it even has nuclear weapons, but foreign intelligence analysts familiar with the program believe Israel has just over 200 nuclear warheads at its facility in Dimona in southern Israel. Israeli officials have confirmed to The Australian that Israel has nuclear weapons but will not place a figure on them.

What is the point of this? Israel, as a point of policy, won't confirm or deny, but everyone knows they have them. They have had them for more than 40 years. They havn't used them on anyone. They haven't even threatened. For most of the mideast, the knowledge that they are there has kept things pretty cool.

Until Iran decided that stupid is more important than survival.

Noted Israeli military historian Martin van Creveld stated that Israel could find itself one day forced to exterminate the European continent using all kinds of weapons including its nuclear arsenal if it felt its demise neared, stressing that Israel also considers Europe a hostile target.

This came in a press interview broadcast by the seventh Hebrew radio and was translated on Wednesday into Arabic by the press information analysis and study center.

“We have hundreds of nuclear warheads and missiles that can reach different targets in the heart of the European continent, including beyond the borders of Rome, the Italian capital,” Creveld said, adding that most of the European capitals would become preferred targets for the Israeli air force.

The Israeli historian reiterated Israel’s ability to destroy the whole world whenever it felt its existence would be doomed to extinction.

I wonder on what basis Rudd makes such a demand?

 

[Ropey]

It is very surprising; first of all, as we are not signatories to the NPT we are not bound by its obligations; and, secondly, the NPT has proven to be ineffective. Its signatories include Iran, Syria, Libya and Iraq, which should speak for itself.

Exactly.

.... and, secondly, the NPT has proven to be ineffective. Its signatories include Iran, Syria, Libya and Iraq, which should speak for itself.

The UN is feckless on so many levels, but allowing them to administer and 'enforce' a treaty of such import is insanity.

Rudd should have his anus internationally inspected, of course.

"There has been no limit to the servility of Washington to Tel Aviv.

"On July 8 the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz revealed that the Obama Administration was planning to start transferring nuclear fuel to Israel in order to build up Tel Aviv’s nuclear stockpile.

"In other words, amid an unrelenting campaign against Iran -- the Wikileaks files reveal it to be the US’ prime diplomatic obsession – for enriching uranium and planning to make a nuclear bomb, Washington is flouting the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) by aiding Israel’s nuclear weapons program.

"Israel refuses to sign the NPT—indeed, to this day won’t concede it has nuclear weapons at all—thus making it ineligible to buy uranium on the world market.

"US intelligence agencies commonly reckon Israel has anywhere from 100 to 200 nuclear missiles.

"Article I of the NPT explicitly forbids supplying nuclear material to a non-signatory country, which in the case of Israel makes the U.S. in violation of the NPT."

Of course, international law does NOT apply to Israel and the US.

Right?

Europe must destroy Israel before Israel nukes us.

Best post of the day.

Israel is the only nation civilized and sane enough in the bass ackwards M.E. to deserve and handle nukes anyway.

 

[georgephillip]

Only for those whose definitions of civilization and sanity stretch far enough to include Belligerent Occupation.

"There are 149 substantive articles of the Fourth Geneva Convention that protect the rights of every one of these Palestinians living in occupied Palestine.

"The Israeli Government is currently violating, and has since 1967 been violating, almost each and every one of these sacred rights of the Palestinian People recognized by the Fourth Geneva Convention.

"Indeed, violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention are war crimes.

So this is not a symmetrical situation.

"As matters of fact and of law, the gross and repeated violations of Palestinian rights by the Israeli army and Israeli settlers living illegally in occupied Palestine constitute war crimes.

"Conversely, the Palestinian People are defending themselves and their Land and their Homes against Israeli war crimes and Israeli war criminals, both military and civilian."
