LONDON — The International Atomic Energy Agency has decided to discuss Israeli nuclear capabilities in its next major conference.

Diplomatic sources said the IAEA has placed on the agenda of its General Conference and Regular Session the subject of "Israeli Nuclear Capabilities and Threats." The subject will be discussed at the conference in Vienna in September.

The sources said this is the first time in decades that the IAEA has placed Israel's nuclear programs on the agenda of its general conference.

2. This, is WAY overdue.....

Perhaps the hypocrisy of Israel being allowed to bristle with nuclear weapons, while conducting bombing raids on those countries they happen not to like, for simply trying to emulate them, will be forced to end. This has always been hypocrisy personified, and of the type that does nothing but justify Arab resentment and hatred.

If the Middle East is to be a "nuclear free" zone, then ALL of the ME should be nuclear free.

3. Who wants to bet the US boycotts the meeting?

4. My odd point here being

is that should Israel ever use its own nukes and the wind blows the wrong way it is going to take out their own people.

One has to wonder.
