Israel’s nuclear stockpile

The frenzy of western media, led by the jingoistic American media, against Iran and its nuclear project has a striking similarity to Iraq's so-called weapons of mass destruction in 2003. The US-led invasion of Iraq aimed at divesting it of WMDs, removing Saddam Husein from power, and lastly, the one always noble – freeing the Iraqi people from Iraqis themselves. A similar pattern would follow in Libya and now afoot in Syria. The CIA in its report in 2005 declared that no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq. However, Iraq remains occupied; more than 1.5 million Iraqis out of 30 million of its population have lost their lives, and war clouds have begun to mushroom over Iran.
Amid thunder of war drums against Iran, Barack Obama has vowed not to allow it build a nuclear weapon. While the US operates overtly, Israel operates covertly. Despite Iran's repeated assurances that its nuclear program is only meant to generate energy sources, Mossad has assassinated five Iranian nuclear scientists, including Professor Mustafa Ahmadi Roshan assassinated on 11 January. While possession of nuclear weapons by any Muslim country is an anathema to the west, what's Israel up to visa-a-vis its nuclear weapons of mass destruction?
Israel hasn’t signed the Nuclear Arms Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and has consistently maintained a policy of ambiguity about its nuclear arsenal by neither accepting nor denying its possession. The Jewish state had begun its quest for nuclear weapons since its inception in 1948. In 1956, France provided Israel with an 18-megawatt nuclear reactor that, after Israel's invasion of Egypt in 1956, was upgraded to 24-megawatt. The reactor France provided was erected at Dimona, in Negev desert, and has since remained functional, to which the UK, IAEA, and US are privy. France even provided Israel with heavy water it purchased from Norway thus breaching the assurances France gave to donors for not passing it on to a third country.
Dimona is not subject to international inspections or safeguards. According to the Federation of American Scientists, Israel had achieved nuclear capability by 1960. Reportedly, it now possesses about 400 nuclear devices of varying types, ranging from neutron bombs, tactical nuclear weapons to suitcase bombs meant for restricted war zones. Thus, Israel possesses more nuclear weapons than the UK – a recognised nuclear state and signatory to the NPT.
Israel regards Iran's intended nuclear capability a threat to the region while in reality it’s the Jewish state that manipulates US Middle East policy and is a threat to its neighbouring states. Iran has refused to submit to US pressure regarding its nuclear program because it has already seen the fate of Iraq and Libya. Iran also draws moral courage from North Korea's defiance of American pressure to give up its nuclear and missile technology.
Washington’s negotiations with the pariah state to quit its nuclear weapons program have led nowhere. Only unified nations can afford to defy Western onslaught against them. Iranian and North Korean nations are intrinsically cohesive. Both would rally behind their respective leaderships if their territorial sovereignty is threatened, which unfortunately is not true for us. And the blame must go to successive Pakistani leaderships, both civil and military that have taken turns in the past. A dervish, Ahmedinjad, is an inspiring spirit for his people while another dervish, Mr Gillani, who spends most of his time changing his French suits, falls short. Such is our fate.
There is no doubt about Israel possessing WMDs. Recall, Mordechai Vanunu, a nuclear technician, who first blew the whistle on the Jewish State's nuclear plans in 1986 by presenting evidence about Dimona "Manganese Plant" to The Sunday Times. His information was complete with pictures of 200 nuclear bombs ready for use. However, he succumbed to human frailties when a female Mossad agent of stunning beauty lured him from London to Rome where the agents drugged him and carted him away to Israel. He was tried and given eighteen years in prison, twelve of which he endured in solitary confinement, until released in 2004.
Why the international community doesn’t point fingers at Israel's stockpile of nuclear arsenal? Is it because Israel is an extension of the US in the Middle East or because the Jewish state, according to John Pilger, acts as US ‘hitman’ in the heart of the Arab world? When John Kennedy was elected president, he asked the Israeli prime minister what he could do for Israel since he had been elected to the white house with the support of the Jewish community in the US. Such has been the influence of the AIPAC and other Jewish lobby groups on the white house.
The Muslim states, nevertheless, have as much right to develop nuclear weapons to protect their sovereignty as Israel has. North Korea and Iran harbour no expansionist plans while Israel does. Who really threatens whom? The Anglo-American wars and resultant occupation of Iraq and Libya should remind the comatose Muslim states of their vulnerability. Had Libya not given up its nuclear program in 2003, it might not have fallen so easily in 2011. When Libya fell, North Korea's foreign ministry issued a statement condemning the Libyan invasion and saying, “This is what happens when a country gives up its nukes.” A more apt title of the op-ed piece in the Christian Science Monitor of 30 August 2011 said it all: "A troubling lesson from Libya: Don’t give up your nukes.

Surely it is the SACROSANTO right of every African + Asian Muslim nation to DEFEND THEMSELVES from the insanr barbarity of the FUKUSA axis.
Like yourself I wonder why Dr Khan is demonised while the rest of the nuclear armed countries consider their scientist a hero.
For the UMMAH Dr Khan is a hero bigger than Pakistani government.

UNTIL & UNLESS IRAN does the following even the US can’t prevent an attack by Israel in the coming months:
a) Open up EVERYONE of its nuclear facilities to UNHINDERED IAEA inspections.
b) IMMEDIATELY start DISMANTLING their underground nuke sites.
c) STOP all enrichment above 3.5% and VERIFIABLY surrender all Uranium enriched to over 3.5%
What the world should NEVER DO is let Iran BUY TIME in the garb of negotiations. That will be suicidal!
Nobody can blame Israel if they go to war even when the negotiations are on, but w/o fulfilling the above.
Not even hardcore Islamic supporters like Mr. Fareed Zakaria can prevent Obama from throwing his weight behind ISRAEL, for the simple reason that the valiant Jewish state has the massive support of a MAJORITY OF THE AMERICANS – Democrats & Republicans alike.
Likewise, no spineless Indian govt. can continue to support radical Iran (while pandering to its Muslim minority – once led by the late Islamic scholar Mr. Rafiq Zakaria – Father of CNN’s Mr. Fareed Zakaria) against the wishes of a BILLION HINDUS, & ALL NON-MUSLIM minorities (Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains etc.).

Amit-Atlanta is delusional if he thinks the Iranians will agree to dismantle their enrichment facilities and turn over their nuclear stocks. Personally, I want to see the Israelis attack, but I don't think they have the guts. Iran is well defended, as seen from satellite. The Iranians will have the moral high ground. The Israeli Dimona NRC needs to be destroyed for the sake of all Europeans who are threatened by the Zionist "SAMPSON OPTION". Those Israeli planes who survive the attack, may not have a place to return to.! Nevatim AFB probably won't exist.! Lastly, "Remember JFK", he tried to stop this in 1963. For his effort the zionists had him assassinated.! Now, it's really up to Putin, and the knowledgeable Russians to save the world….

Yes, most WARS are bad & undesirable, but some WARS may in fact be ABSOLUTELY necessary, IF ONLY TO PRESERVE WORLD PEACE……..a war with radical IRAN to stop them from going nuclear, and
watch C-bemans glitter
immediately thereafter, the mother of all wars with TERRORIST PAKISTAN to dismantle their JIHADIST INFRASTRUCTURE & seize their ISLAMIC BOMB.

Here is the pudding that contains the proof of
"Who really threatens whom?"
Israel hasn’t signed the Nuclear Arms Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and has consistently maintained a policy of ambiguity about its nuclear arsenal by neither accepting nor denying its possession.
The Jewish state had begun its quest for nuclear weapons since its inception in 1948. In 1956, France provided Israel with an 18-megawatt nuclear reactor that, after Israel's invasion of Egypt in 1956, was upgraded to 24-megawatt. The reactor France provided was erected at Dimona, in Negev desert, and has since remained functional, to which the UK, IAEA, and US are privy.
..
ALL nations must adhere to the very same demands and proofs or no nation can be held to such demands by a rouge nation that HIDES its own stockpiles.
just sayin in the interests of JUSTICE.

Are you high on drugs?
First and foremost , Israel is NO match for Iran.
You guys cannot even take on 3,000 Hezbollah , and you dare even demand Iran do those things. If if has not been US behind you, Iran would be demanding what you are demanding ….
Iran is not suicidal to use any nuke on say US or even Israel .. but we never know right if Iran already have nukes purchased or developed .
Frankly the world would love to see Iran has the nuke. Then peace will come. Israel will not dare to go berserk every year killing tens of thousands of civilans …the ONLY COUNTRY besides US or NATO doing so.
Wake up.
They are waiting for you if you wish to lead the strike… they have 10 years of missile developments waiting eagerly.

Israel's undeclared nuclear arsenal is estimated at 200-400 nuclear weapons, as stated by a USAF over 10 years ago. Israel's actual weapon stockpile is well over 1,000 making it one of the most dangerous states in the world especially since Israel is the most belligerent and dangerous nation on the planet today. Israel has threatened to use its weapons on all major cities, the crazy Samson Option as it is called, and this is how Israel blackmails the west (along witht the sacred Holohoax, nearly every sheeple believes in the magic 6,000,000 million number that is used by Rabbis many times before WW2).
Since Israel literally controls America politically it stands to reason that Israel CONTROLS the worlds largest nuclear arsenal.
Iran has no nuclear weapons and is surrounded by hundreds of hostile military bases. Iran has signed the NNPT but Israel hasn't. Since Israel has not signed the UN should invade Israel and seize those illegal weapons.
Have you ever wondered where that 2.3 TRILLION disappeared that was announced the day before 9112001 by Mr. Donald Rumsfeld? It went to Israel, the Pentacon comptroller was an ordained Rabbi, Dov Zakheim. Insiders have told me that much of that money went to more nukes.
And these plentiful nukes are downsized and used in black ops like Fukushima, Japan had recognized Palestine so Israel nuked her and now the Isle of Japan is ruined. Furthermore it is now widely recognized that Israel did 911:

http://www.henrymakow.com/theargumentfukushimasabotage.html
"Former NSA analyst, Jim Stone, argues that there was no mag 9.0 earthquake. The tsunami was caused by nuclear bombs in the sea and the Fukushima explosion and meltdown was caused by mini-nukes hidden in cameras installed by an Israeli security firm. The motive: punish Japan for offering to enrich Iranian uranium and straying from Illuminati diktat."
Have you asked why the MSM hasn't informed you on this? 96% of the media is owned by elite Jews.
