Nuclear Threat

Iranian nuclear issue is a concern for the entire world. It has the potential to push the world into another disastrous war. Iran has a responsibility to prove to the world that it will not venture into nuclear weapon manufacturing. The founding father of Islamic republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini had qualified nuclear weapons as unislamic and this has been the stated stand of Iranian governments too. Any divergence from this stand will be a huge blow to their credibility. Nuclear disarmament should be the top priority of the international community and the first step in this direction has to be the steps to achieve non proliferation.


But one issue the world  is conspicuously unaware is the nuclear threat from Israel. What right do they have to possess nuclear weapons? Why haven’t they still signed the NPT? How come nobody is inspecting their nuclear facilities? Does the world have any information on their weapons program? And how come nobody is addressing this threat?

Israel continues to be the world’s most rogue state. Racism is a state policy for them. Zionism is racism, make no mistake about it. No less a statesman than President Carter had likened Israel to the apartheid regime. Its very birth was illegitimate. Since then the kind of humiliation and injustice this terrorist state has imposed on Palestinians have few parallels in world history. Nearly half a million Palestinians have been languishing as refugees as Israel had usurped their land. UN resolutions calling on the Zionist state to withdraw from the Palestinian lands has fallen on deaf ears. Why? Call to freeze the settlement activities by President Obama himself has been turned down.

Cruelty of this state knows no bounds. We saw that in Gaza and Lebanon. We see it daily in Palestine. They shoot helpless kids, humiliate hapless women and torture unarmed men. Words could never describe the Gaza siege and the attack there after. Israel remains the only state outside the nuclear five that has not said that their nuclear capability is for deterrence only. They intend to use it if they deem it necessary. In short Israel is the most dangerous rogue state in the world. They and not Iran are the ones who are holding the world peace hostage. If the world leaders have any sense, If President Obama has any spine they should address the Israeli threat before turning to Iran.
