Website exposes Israeli 'nuke secrets'
Leftist Israeli website claims to expose nuclear secrets published by foreign sources

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3566189,00.html

<snip>

"The Armageddon website claims to sport vast amounts of information about Israel's nuclear program and its manufacturing and storage facilities, as published by various foreign sources.

The site is the brainchild of a large group of Israeli intellectuals, journalists and philosophers affiliated with an Israeli group advocating a Middle East free of atomic, biological, and chemical weapons; the organization says Knesset Member Dov Khenin (Hadash) is among its supporters.

According to the website's owners, the site is registered on an Israeli domain and is hosted on Australian-based servers. Armageddon's owners claim to be the proprietors of a second domain – armagedonz.org – which they can use in case the Military Censor tries to take it of the air. The details of the second domain's owner are kept confidential – unlike those of the Israeli domain owner.

The group behind the website, backed by several organizations that oppose the distribution of weapons of mass destruction, decided that the topic of WMDs is not given its appropriate place in public debate and that its increasingly growing urgency in the Middle East calls for something to be done."

2. It's okay for Israel to have WMDs because they're good guys.

3. Nope it's better than that
Israel refused to sign the Nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty, so Israel can have all the nukes it wants, threaten and whine about those who they claim are seeking nuclear arms because they did sign the treaty, and as long as Israel can ride the current western wave of anti-Islamism still remain the good guys.

Can you say having it both ways?
