Benjamin Netanyahu calls off trip to nuclear conference
JERUSALEM, April 9, 2010

Officials say Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called of his trip to Washington next week to attend a conference on the spread of nuclear weapons.

Mr. Netanyahu had said he would attend the conference to underline the dangers of terrorists acquiring nuclear weapons.

But officials in his office said early on Friday that Netanyahu decided not to go, because some nations planned to use the conference to target Israel because of its reported nuclear weapons programme. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement has been made.

Israel has not admitted to possessing nuclear weapons and has not signed the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

1. They're embarrassing themselves now if they believe that their nuclear program is still a secret

The cat's been out of the bag for many years now Bibi; might as well fess up and admit it.

2. Can't reduce what you claim (lie) you don't have. n/t

3. NuttyYahoo IS a terrorist with nuclear weapons.

For all the Likudist hyperbole about "a new Hitler" hiding under every rock, it's their own lunatic dictator who has both the desire and the means to commit mass murder of an entire people.

4. They're just pissed that the old one isn't around for them to booga-booga other Jews with anymore

Really, that's the whole point of these dips in Israeli politics; keep the Israeli people scared, keep the races divided, and keep a tight reign on power. I dunno what we could call this kind of government, a phobocracy? Rule through fearmongering?
