UN atomic watchdog chief Mohamed ElBaradei called on Iran and Israel on Sunday to join a nuclear-free zone in the Middle East and urged other countries not to resort to military action against Tehran. "At the end of the day the Middle East should be a zone free of weapons of mass destruction, a zone in which Israel and Iran are both members," ElBaradei said following talks in Jordan with King Abdullah II.

I don't think that Israel would agree with any kind of disarmament. Their country is sorrounded by their enemies. It would be illogical for them to give up the deterrent that these weapons offer.

The bottom line is given the size of the Middle East any Islamic country that tries to blow up Israel would automatically kill all Palestinians.Given the track record between Muslims and their killing of each other and the belief of some fanatics that any death is a good death-the idea of a nuclear attack on Israel is always a question mark. Personally I think if there would be an attack on Israel it would come from a terrorist cell not an actual nation not even Iran. As well Israel would never use nuclear weapons unless it was an absolute last resort if for no other reason, because the radioactive fall out would wipe out Israel as well. Right now Israel's possession of the weapon is simply a symbol of deterrence. It is in reality a useless weapon.

Any nuclear war would come about from a dirty bomb from some idiot terrorist cell. Before that happens I see more chance of chemicals being used. Its easier.

All that said, the UN spokesperson is a joke. In previous statements he has made it clear where his sympathies are and that is precisely why he was hired because he is anti-Israel. OOh what a surprise.

Bottom line is once again the UN appoints some anti-Zionist pro Muslim to lecture Israel and ignore the reality-that the no.1 source of instability is terrorists being funded by syria and iran and saudi arabia.

DUh duh and more duh.

Good idea, disarm Israel because we all know how reasonable Syria and Iran are.

So you see nothing wrong with Israel being allowed to have nukes but not Iran? Israel is the state currentley violating UN resolutions and international law. Israel has long record of aggression and brutal occupation against its neighbors. Im assuming most people here in the states are unaware of this history.

I CANT BELIEVE YOU JUST SAID THIS! We are doomed.

Iran's leader and Israel: What did he say, and what did he mean?

"this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time," Since Iran has not "attacked another country aggressively for over a century," he said in an e-mail exchange, I smell the whiff of war propaganda.

Ahmadinejad did not say he was going to wipe Israel off the map, because no such idiom exists in Persian, remarked Juan Cole, a Middle East specialist at the University of Michigan and a critic of U.S. policy who has argued that the Iranian president was misquoted.

He did say he hoped its regime, i.e., a Jewish-Zionist state "occupying Jerusalem, would collapse."

On 20 February 2006, Iran’s foreign minister denied that Tehran wanted to see Israel “wiped off the map,” saying Ahmadinejad had been misunderstood. "Nobody can remove a country from the map. This is a misunderstanding in Europe of what our president mentioned," Manouchehr Mottaki told a news conference, speaking in English, after addressing the European Parliament. "How is it possible to remove a country from the map? He is talking about the regime. We do not recognise legally this regime," he said.

Iran trains,funds, epuips, and does not even have complete control over, a terrorist group. Try and get the facts. ANY nation that has ties to terrorism SHOULD NOT AND MUST NOT have nuclear weapons.

So just where do you get your news? The One-Sided Sentinel?

If Israel does not have nukes then Israel ceases to exist. Israel has not been blameless in the mutual aggression we see in that area but it is crazy to see them as "the aggressors."
