Arab League calls for IAEA inspections of Israel's nuclear sites

The Arab League called Monday for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect Israel's nuclear sites.
The Cairo-based organisation called for Israel to sign the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and for its sites to undergo IAEA inspections.

These Arab states need to see reality. Israel's capabilities are part of a fragile safety net preventing another Holocaust.

3. Of course.
Threatening to destroy another people to save your own is justified.

4. If you were in Israel's shoes
would you allow yourself to be destroyed by the Arab countries in the interest of fair play? I didn't think so.

5. Since the Arabs couldn't destroy Isreal
after 3-4 attempts, and haven't tried in 30 years, I guess I wouldn't worry so much.

Of course, Isreal having nukes might have something to do with it, but I think it has more to do with having thier arse's handed to them like clockwork.

So, the Arabs want Isreal held to the same standard as they are... not going to happen.

BTW, I think that most of the Arabs are a bunch of semi-civilized barbarians. I just hold Isreal to the same standard as I hold them, so that makes me 'anti Isreal' in some circles. Go figure.

Is there a difference between strapping a bomb on your body and blowing up a bus and strapping a F-16 on and blowing up a bus? Other than the part where the guy with the bomb strapped to himself isn't going to do it again and the F-16 guy blowing the bus into smaller pieces?

Remember the atrocity they committed last week, and never mind the one we did the week before that is they motto of both sides... and I disapprove of both.

6. Israel dominates the Middle East with conventional weaponry, too...
I don't think that the 'fragile safety net' is quite so fragile.
