    I just find it fucking ridiculous that Israel, the country that secretly created a nuclear weapons program and armed itself with nuclear weapons, is complaining that countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia want to start or restart nuclear energy programs.


    Thats because YOU live in........the Garden State and NOT Israel. If your country had been invaded three times by your neighbors wouldn't you NOT want them to have nuclear bombs? How is this so difficult to understand?

    It isn't really a matter of having nuclear bombs or not anymore. The technology is there for the whole world to use. The nuclear issue isn't an issue if you think in terms of the strategica fearmongera. That is to say folks like Mujumahehahdahhdadh of Iran and the like, who send pleading nonsensical letters to our President in fear of the Bush intention... aren't afraid of nuclear annihilation so much as they are afraid of an Iraq-style bomb and scrape campaign. The nuclear issue is a tool for the masses (Iranian or American) to digest in the way the masses digest all other hyperbolic veiled threats to one's well-being.

    Israel gets to have nuclear weapons to defend itself because Israel is the only legitimate, civilized democracy in that whole godforsaken region.

    There's your answer right there.

    Define civilized.

  • Brown people are lower on the social scale than all other minorities put together.

    Hate to say it, but it is an ethnic scrubbing and reduction in numbers of that race of people.

    Let's just call it what it is.

    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions

  • Well you asked. I delivered. Clearly you have not been to the Middle East. If you had you would not be making statements that there are no brown Israelis. That's just ignorant. Both Arabs and Israeli's are semitic people. The pic I posted was a joke. That was an Ethiopian Jew. Cant get much browner than that can ya? Do your homework or travel or something...

    Anytime you want to answer my question on what percentage or Israelis are dark skinned (or black people as you are trying to indicate?!?!) go right ahead.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but so far you have shown me nothing at all.

    You're the one that made the issue of Israeli skin color if you care to recollect.

    seeing as how israel is the one terrorizing the region, shouldn't they be the number one people who SHOULDN'T have nuclear weapons?

    i don't know, just a thought. then again, israel IS so civilized.....

    torturing, unjust arrests in the thousands, massacres, etc....

    So should Mexico, Cuba, Nicarague, El Salvador, Cuba, Panama all be protesting the US' possession of nuclear weapons. Egypt and saudi Arabia are not a threat to Israel and further more neither of these countries has claimed any intention to build a nuclear weapons program and have ssured the international community that they would follow IAEA guidelines and rules. Every country has the right to pursue nuclear technology for the purpose of providing energy to it's people. Israel has no right to roadblock those actions considering that they are the only country possessing nuclear weapons that has not signed the NPT. If anything their neighbors should be the ones complaining about Israel.
