Exactly how would Israel employ its nuclear arsenal? All of its presumptive enemies are on its borders, too close to use a nuclear device without putting Israel's own population and lands at risk (not that the zionists care).

I've read that Israel's defense plans include something called a "Samson option" by which it would try to destroy as much of mankind as possible in the event that it's military defeat became eminent. That name is appropriate; as I recall the biblical stories, Samson was strong but not very bright.

Umm no, it is pretty safe to say that the Zionists in Israel are a terrorist regime. It is hardly a surprise that Israel would back out of the talks. After all, Israel is spitting on the United States, but Biden is claiming it is raining, right Joe?

Liz Cheney, after apparently poring over the contents of The Project For a New American Century, basically notes how Israel should never be criticized for its actions. One would expect such rhetoric from a neoconservative. Unfortunately, one suspects that it will be a cold day in hell before any Democrat will ever get up the nerve to condemn Israel and to demand that the Israelis allow weapons inspectors into their country in order to clear up any ambiguity regarding the number of nuclear weapons that Israel possesses. This desire to remain silent by the U.S. regarding Israel's nuclear arsenal is in stark contrast to the eagerness displayed by America's leaders regarding Iran's supposed desire to build nuclear weapons, in spite of the fact that Iran has repeatedly stated that its proposed nuclear facilities will be used in order to pursue and maintain an energy program. Of course no Democrats, let alone any Jewish Democrats, have rarely, if ever, pointed out the disparity of how one country is treated in a far different manner than another non-Jewish nation.

Everybody will be a lot happier when Israel is finally moved to Sedona Arizona where all those displaced Europeans would be a lot happier and not surrounded by a bunch of crazy Arabs.

"Everybody knows a terrorist and rogue regime when they see one, and believe me they see quite a few -- around Israel."

We especially note the regime calling itself "Israel" to be a terrorist and rogue regime.

"The NSS had also offered Netanyahu an opportunity to drum up support for sanctions against arch-foe Iran..."

Except that if Netanyahu wants Obama's (or anyone else's) support for this, he must stop building you know what. But if he wants to keep his job, he must continue building you know what.

Stan Laurel couldn't have gotten himself in a finer mess.

We need to get tough here!

The dialogue should go something like this:
Obama:(to Netenyahu) Look here, you m....r f....r, we're trying to bring some order to the world and you better get your
f...ing ass in here ON TIME! OR ELSE!
Netenyahu: Yes, SIR!

The U.S. has pussyfooted for FAR too long with the abomination that has become Israel. Until we...and just to be clear, NO ONE ELSE CAN GET THE JOB DONE...knock some heads together (BOTH Israeli and Arab, wherever necessary) the Middle East will continue to be the cesspool it has always been.

And while we're at it, we should permanently EXPORT AIPAC!!....and with it, Rahm Emanuel!!!

Can there be any higher form of hypocrisy than this one occupying force which has been guilty of murder and much more--even stealing organs--telling the world to fear and hate a more spiritual and honorable nation that they can't be trusted with something that they themselves possess illegally and clandestinely --never belonging to any org or body for audit or inspection--this is completely intolerable--I demand equal justice for all states. If you can't audit your partner something is wrong. A thousand curses on these dimwits that comprise the USI.

"'This conference is about nuclear terrorism,' Netanyahu told reporters on Wednesday. 'And I'm not concerned that anyone will think that Israel is a terrorist regime. Everybody knows a terrorist and rogue regime when they see one, and believe me they see quite a few -- around Israel.'"

The award for Psychopath of the Year goes to Mr. Benyamin Netanyahu.

Oh, yeah, Israel is as mild and sweet as Little Bo Peep, according to Mr. N., and everyone else is always at fault.

Gee, that sounds like the current and previous U.S. Administrations.

Well, maybe several awards for Psychopaths of the Year are in order.

Creating carnage wherever they go ... in "self-defense," of course ... and lying through their teeth and absolutely indifferent and unfeeling when it comes to the pain and suffering of the most vulnerable, and always, always in full, conscienceless, unremorseful denial about the results of what they order and do.

The springs of the wagon that hauls the Karmic load around are mighty close to breaking. And that's not a wish or a plan, but sooner or later just the way it works.

A truly dangerous, dangerous situation that will have to play out. If we are fortunate, this absolutely cruelly insane time in the history of our flawed species will not mark the end of the last chapter in the book.

But it could.

Netanyahu is arrogance personified.

M$M Complicity -

M$M keeps repeating the talking point that it is ambiguous that Israel has nuclear weapons while at the same time conveniently not mentioning that Israel imprisoned one of its own citizens, Mordechai Vanunu, who worked at the Dimona nuclear weapons facility for exposing the program and providing photos of the program.

http://www.vanunu.com/uscampaign/photos.html

Netanyahu isn't "afraid" of "disclosing" anything. He's just lifting his leg on the Obama Administration again.

Much as I despise Netanyahu and just about everything he stands for, I must say I find this amusing.

"And President Obama is playing a reckless game of continuing down the path of diminishing America's ties to Israel."

If only, if only...

The headline is misleading - Israel is not ducking out of the conference, though Netanyahu is. I suspect this has nothing to do with the conference (as his deputy will have to sit there and listen to wahtever Egypt and Turkey have to say), and a lot to do with the nice day out in Washington DC that Bibi was planning to have. I suspect he's been told in no uncertain terms that unless he's going to bring some serious new proposals that will advance a peace settlement, then POTUS doesn't propose wasting any more of his valuable time talking to him. A further snub, on top of the dressing down he got last time he strode into the White House, would be too great a price to pay.

On another news website, Netanyahu was described today as "wily". I presume that's as in "Coyote". He seems to be making a habit of lighting sticks of Acme dynamite only to drop them at his feet while attempting to throw them.

The other 46 countries should now decline the invitation too, in order to make clear to Mr. Obama that without the participation of the only nuclear proliferators in the ME that is not a member of the IAEA, any meeting on non-proliferation of nuclear weapons would be pointless.

Netanyahu : "I'm not concerned that anyone will think that Israel is a terrorist regime," he said. "Everybody knows a terrorist and rogue regime when they see one, and believe me they see quite a few around Israel."

No Mr. N, your country broke every rule in the book when you shared nuclear bomb making technology and testing with apartheid South Africa, with whom Israel covertly tested their weapon in the Indian Ocean. Fortunately the De Clerk government was defeated and Mandela and his ANC arranged for SA's disposal of nuclear weaponry and materials with the IAEA.

Also Mr. N. your government has threatened to use non-conventional weapons against Iran in order to attack their underground CIVIL nuclear development facilities.

In short the threat providing urgent response and the reason for any ME countries such as may have Iran to establish a nuclear deterrent, the spur to any new nuclear race is Israel's nuclear arsenal. Whether or not Israel considers itself not rouge or terrorist is quite irrelevant in view of its history of aggression, as always claiming defence. (I think Hitler said he was defending against Polish aggression too.)

This NSS must be cancelled and replaced by a binding resolution in the UNSC setting out Israel's nuclear threat and rewarding its rouge status with appropriate sanctions especially in view of its repeated flaunting of previous UN resolutions. The irony that this country claims its "right" to exist on a non binding resolution of the General Assembly...,. talk about cherry picking!

Enough Mr. N., yes we know a rouge and a terrorist when we see one. “We’re looking right at ya”. And Mr. O. you know what they say about countries that protect and harbour terrorists, not that your own country's behaviour is much less egregious..?

It’s time to take the thorn out of the side of the ME. It is time this six million or so population is treated like any other comparable territory/country that behaves with total disregard to human principals. Could one imagine Hong Kong behaving like this, an illicit nuclear power, proliferating weapons technology, threatening an entire region, committing war crimes, and crimes against humanity, ghetto-izing Gaza and Bantustan-ing the West Bank?? This Zionist mafia was not what anybody in the “global community” had in mind or can qualify as “acceptable” behaviour in the community of nations. Existential threat? Yes, but to whom?

"And I'm not concerned that anyone will think that Israel is a terrorist regime."

Famous last words, right up there with "I am not a crook" - Nixon.

I was watching a clip of your Republicans and Democrats on tv yesterday. They were fighting to be the party that loves Israel the most.

My take on this is that, this conference, like the recent nuclear posture policy of Obama's, which for the first time explicitly threatens non-nuclear countries with atomic first strike, like the talks he had recently with Netanyahu which, while not resolving the Palestinian issue, did produce more common ground on opposing Iran, my take is that this is all prepatory theatre. These gestures, and the recent articles in the US press that give one flash-backs of Judith Miller's less than stellar work on Iraq, are all aimed at building up to war with Iran.

I was reading yesterday that America is building up its bomb suplies at Diego Garcia, in a similar fashion to the way it did prior to the Iraq invasion. Along with other war preperations in the area, I take this as an indication that America wants another war.

These numbers are underestimated. Other experts put the Isreali nuclear arsenal at 300-400, with all the needed US made F-16's to deliver them, too.

Israel is not our strongest ally in the Middle East but may be among our worst enemies. Zionism is dangerous and should be openly rejected. Zionist extremists are destabilizing and have the potential to set off a war that could quickly escalate. Tough action with sharp teeth needs to be applied to Israeli Zionists by the United States to reduce the danger of war.

So we have a conference about nuclear development, weapons, and terrorism --- but Iran is not invited.

Reminds of having a meeting about health care and not letting those who wanted single payer in.

Maybe next there will be a conference about mine safety without anyone from the mineworkers or mine owners allowed in...

This is what three billion per year in foreign aid buys us?
