Nuclear Threat is from Israel NOT Iran.

Ezer Weizman once said "The nuclear issue is gaining momentum [and the] next war will not be conventional." From the 1950s the US trained Israeli nuclear scientists and providing nuclear technology, including a small 'research' reactor in 1955 under the 'Atoms for Peace' program. The French built a uranium reactor and plutonium reprocessing plant in the Negev desert, called Dimona. The Israelis lied, stating it was "a manganese plant, or a textile factory". In return for uranium, Israel supplied South Africa with the technology and expertise that allowed the white supremacist regime to build the "apartheid bomb".
In 1979 US satellite photographs revealed the atmospheric test of a nuclear bomb in the Indian Ocean off South Africa, Israel's involvement was quickly whitewashed by a carefully selected scientific panel, kept in the dark about important details. Israeli sources have since revealed "there were actually three tests of miniaturised Israeli nuclear artillery shells".
Mordechai Vanunu worked as a nuclear technician at Dimona. A supporter of Palestinian rights, Vanunu believed it was his duty to warn the world about the danger Israel posed. In 1986, he smuggled out photographs showing that the plant was producing enough plutonium to make 10 to 12 bombs a year, and that at least 200 miniaturised bombs had been built.

The centrefuges that Iran has boasted about are, in fact, capable of producing weapons grade material. Israel is a threat, but so is Iran. Both od their leaders are nuts!

[TheCyMan]

Despite all the misinformation and inaccurate headlines about Iran "going nuclear," much like the now exposed lies about Iraqs WMD program in 2003, the fact is that all President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had stated was that Iran had enriched uranium to a measly 3.5 percent, using a bank of 180 centrifuges hooked up so that they "cascade." The ability to slightly enrich uranium is not even close to the ability to build a bomb.

[TheCyMan]

For the latter, you need at least 90% enrichment, which in turn would require about 16,000 small centrifuges hooked up to cascade. Keep in mind that the difficulty of attaining % enrichment goes up exponentially (INTRODUCTION TO NUCLEAR AND PARTICLE PHYSICS (Second Edition) by A Das & T Ferbel (University of Rochester, USA)).

Pakistan has nukes... but they've never threatened anyone as of yet.

the US and Israel however, have repeatedly threatened Iran even though Iran is still abiding by international law. How many Un Charter resolutions has Israel broken? ask yourself that.

[peacenikkle]

Israel must come clean on their Nuclear weapons program.how many Nuclear weapons do they have ?how much destruction will one of Israels Nuclear weapons do to a city .for example Tehran .How many people would be killed if Israel uses just one of their nuclear weapons ?Speculation is that Israel has between 120 and 200 Nuclear weapons.what is the exact number ?

Please stop isreal

[barbarotico]

How is possible that the united nations put pressure on iran for it's civil nuclear program of love, peace and clean energy for the humanity and on te other hand let the most terrorist state (read zionist state of israel) of this planet to have more that 200 nuclear bombs and satellites with nuclear bombs pointing toward USA and EUROPE to blackmail them?

[thrallskull]

why doesnt murdering usa and isreal just leave Iran the fuck alone ! let them be ! they are in their own country minding their own business ! the only ones causing shit is isreal murdering Palestinians and usa murdering anyone who has oil or anything they want.

On May 10, 2010, Uzi Even, an Israeli scientist, a Tel Aviv University chemistry professor and former worker at Israel's Dimona reactor,called for Israel to open the Dimona to inspection.

He said: "The policy of nuclear ambiguity, by which we fool only ourselves and nobody else, is not good for us any more. It was good, effective and successful for close to 40 years, but over 40 years many things changed and now I am telling you clearly, this policy is no longer in our interest."

On 21 April 2010 it will be 6 years Vanunu has been waiting for the right to leave Israel.

Indeed Israel invented terror. Read their Book. That is why even today they kill children. What then is the difference in Arabs? Are they not brothers?

[Novi3]

The 1:19 second Video Response is excerpted from "30 Minutes with Vanunu" and it is Vanunu sending his message to Hillary Clinton and US Christians about Israel's Apartheid Wall.

The biggest threat to the world is and has been International ZioNazism...look no further than the 60 year holocaust on the Palestinians, the trafikking in human body organs, the biggest fraud conducted on the American people that has now enslaved them for generations to come to the zionazi wall street banksters....Iran's no threat...It's hope.
