1. npt deal''hypocritical''
moron ,   galut   (05.29.10)
not brcause it fails to include iran but because of moral equivalence -if it were implemented the small state of israel would be weakened compared to its arab terrorist enemies who are numerous and dont obey rules anyway...when they stop beating their wives you can talk about incliding iran in the same breath as israel!
2. nuclear inspections
David I ,   Vero Beach, USA   (05.29.10)
Please Israel, don't give in. Your enemies surround you and wait for you to give them the slightest chance to pounce.
3. Israeli cornered themselves.
sami ,   Lebanon   (05.29.10)
The fact Israel that offered to sell the South African Apartheid regime, a ready to use nuclear bombs, Israeli lost their argument about being a nuclear responsible power vs. the excuses that Iran is a perspective irresponsible dangerous nuclear power. The whole world will continue to pressure on Israel from now on till its nuclear arsenal comes under the NPT as least for the beginning. No more American cover up. This kind of mistakes even best friend cannot swallow it. Good luck.
4. Get everyone to do it then it would be fair
JO   (05.29.10)
this is neither just of fair and very prejudicial. But what can one expect from such sponsors with no guts
5. Even Nazis didnt get such International support to set up
Alan ,   SA   (05.29.10)
the Jews so they could exterminate them This Conference is designed to ultimately strip Israel of any deterence it might have, so that "interested parties" from all countries can destroy it together with its Jews. I believe Israel should tell Obama "SO FAR AND NO FURTHER"
6. NPT contemptible
DT ,   TA Israel   (05.29.10)
It is simply a continuing glabl attack against Israel along with other global organizations like the IAEA, UN etc. Israel should treat the NPT with the gross contempt that it deserves.
7. Before 2012...something will have
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.29.10)
happened... Guess what...??? Mr. Sultansomething...
8. #1
Resistor   (05.29.10)
Israel does not obey International rules. Israelis do not obey there own high court even!
9. #4
Resistor   (05.29.10)
I agree. What have we all got to hide? Israel must be forced to sign a NPT and be open to any and all nuclear inspections by the IAEA
10. First Israel must address the issue of.....
The Archives - Male ,   Kuala Lumpur   (05.29.10)
an imbalanced proliferation of mental stability within the NPT which offers only undemocratic views by fixing the world's demands for a nuclear weapons-free obligation only on a single nation without any measures to limit the nuclear expansion within the nuclear hungry Arabs. Next, Israel must demand why there is no such mechanism put in place to limit the amount of nuclear fuel transported to the Middle-east? This is in view that the nuclear fuel that is to be shipped to Iran far exceed the normal amount needed for peaceful nuclear reactors. All these politicians really love to do is fuck, talk aggressively and plan nonsense while doing nothing about it. The only way to press for nuclear limitations is only by way of hardline procedures and not soft foot dragging like playing footsies with little children.
11. Time to see if Obama has really sold Israel out
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & New York   (05.29.10)
Given the one sided resolution that fails to mention North Korea (who has tested and is threatening to use a nuclear bomb) and Iran who has been found in violation of the NPT this is a meaning less document. Now comes the time for Barak Obama to either prove he is Israel's friend and veto the document or to show his true colors and to stab Israel in the back while enabling North Korea, India, Pakistan, and Iran to thumb their collective noses at the world.
12. #3 Sami - if you believe that proven false propaganda then I
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & New York   (05.29.10)
Sami - if you believe that proven false propaganda then I have some great beach front property for you. Israel, South Africa, and the international community all have said that the slander in that book has no resemblance on reality. Consider: 1 Why would Israel have broken years of ambiguity for such a small value venture? 2. Why would South Africa have wanted them even if available? To bomb the backs living in their own country? 3 Where is the proof or documentation that either country had the interest, willingness, and necessary materials (bomb or cash) do do such a deal? Come on that is as stupid as the one where we supposedly grind up Christian kids for food. In this case Soylent Green is just slander.
13. ISRAEL: NPT DEAL HYPOCRITAL
marge, USA   (05.29.10)
NAZI ISRAEL IS ON THE NPT LIST AS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE MIDDLE EAST WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS, IRAN HAS NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
14. Notice how they never want Jews to be a part of anything?
(05.29.10)
But they would wlcome once again Jews being defenseless. Surely the world has learned the lessons of the holacaust and would never allow our destruction right? Most of these are the same people who accuse us war crimes for defending our selves against rocket fire.
15. The Fox, the chickens. .....!
joe   (05.29.10)
Friday's NPT conference is an exact replica of the "Lamentable" defunct League of Nations ; run by a bunch of "used men", who decided how the world should be allowed to function ----- right into WWII. Today's declaration (by unanimous arab approval), that Israel's nuclear facilities should be inspected by the UN watchdog (watchsnake !!!), a muslim compound, namely the Intern'l Atomic Energy Commission, Run for years by a Muhammad ElBaradei (no comments), who did such a superb job in curbing N.Korea, Pakistan, India, bypassing Iran, is proof that stupid men have not left the political arena,.. Yet !.--- Well, maybe next generation of Beatnicks?. In the rush to approve this fair and unbiased resolution, they forgot to ask Jerusalem if it is not objecting since ALL the above have signed a peace treaty, with the proviso "recognition of the Jewish State". Of course, with America obliged " to go along should represent no problem; with a new President, new White house, new State Dept. Needless to say that I am thrilled that Iran's nuclear file is an IAEA agency issue. ------- PS : I hope that Bibi makes good use of his $ 300.000 bed on the airplane. He is going to need all the rest he can get with his meeting with Obama ; a few days later, a Paragon of peace is due to take his place. : Gefilte fish out, falafel in.!

Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (05.29.10)
I don't know. Sheikh Obama has been kicked out of office?
17. NPT
English Nationalist ,   Manchester UK   (05.29.10)
Stay strong & resolute, or risk being overrun by Islam & communism, as has my country. They are our "enemies within", & they will be your enemies also. Ignore the so called UN. It is just a talking shop for Iran,North Korea et al, & long ago ceased to have any credibility. Keep your deterrent weapons, talk softly, but carry a big stick. Never forget there is only one country you can entirely rely on 100%, Israel! Best wishes to you & yours. Stephen.
18. misinformed...
vadim ,   ariel, israel   (05.29.10)
that's the biggest issue here, lots of people are simply misinformed or in some sort of state of denial about certain "facts", Israel didn't sell and didn't offer to sell nuclear warheads to South Africa, read the documents and the articles and you'll see that, you just read the title of the article and assume that it's true. this goes on into other issues, and it's sad, really.
19. I will vote gainst Obama, we te US should withdrawl from UN
RichardShuster ,   USA   (05.29.10)
Couple this with Goldstone, UNWRA 's hypocrisy and the so called 'himan rights council" which only condemns Israel what relevance does the UN have and why is Obama bending to the UN's pro Arab ways? The ludicrous enforcement of the Lebanese truce which prohibits weapons into Lebanon under Hiz'b' allahs control. Israel has no choice but to become a rejectioist country because the UN is no longer a fair tool for worlld peace but is being manipulated for one purpose ,the destruction of Israel.
20. NPT Conference justified
Bob Newmann ,   New York, USA   (05.29.10)
Israel was 'named' during the conference because it's the only Middle Eastern nation NOT a signatory of the NPT. Israel was 'named' during the conference because currently it's the ONLY Middle Eastern nation WITH nuclear weapons. Don't go 'pointing fingers' at Iran, cuz at this moment in time, Iran IS a signatory of the NPT, and does NOT currently have an arsenal of Nuclear Weapons !
21. ISRAEL SHOULD WITHDRAW FROM THE UN!
Period!   (05.29.10)
22. Obama is a total failure!
us   (05.29.10)
23. Scapegoating: politicians hiding their failures
Joe ,   Canada   (05.29.10)
The NPT vote is not surprising in view of the two factors leading to the resolution. First there are those dictatorial regimes which are siding with the rogue states like Iran or North Korea. It is their hallmark to shift their true guilt of their misdeeds on the shoulder of others. The other indifferent countries who failed to take any effective action against the growing power of the rogue states are now finding an easy way to make Israel look responsible for the situation . The United Nations which also elected Lybia, of all countries, a member of the Human Rights Council, is not short of self inflicted deep wounds to its worthiness, credibility & usefulness.
24. # 20 Bob Newmann - Well said indeed.
Anonymous ,   TX, USA   (05.29.10)
25. # 5, right! And the US President is indirectly behind this!!
Anat ,   Israel   (05.29.10)
26. Some of you understand
Dr Yeruham Leavitt ,   Kiriat Arba, ISRAEL   (05.29.10)
Some of you, including perhaps most obviously, #17 Stephan, understand the facts. Many of you are not well-enough developed intellectually to understand that you ar simply jealous that we Jews, especially Israeli Jews, are smarter than you, more intelligent, more devoted to help the needy of the world, stronger, a microscopically tiny country standing up since 1948 against millions of Mohammedans surrounding us, developing here in Israel most of the hi-tech which you unfortunates depend on, giving our own people as well as the Mohammedans, Christians and Druse living among us the best standard of living in the world, not to mention the backwards and stupid Middle East, We have atomic weapons and the Iranians don't because we have brains and they don't. Stop giving us such a hard time and we can lead the world to prosperity. Or maybe we'll do it anyway, in spite of your idiocy.
27. Your deluded
Dr Your Joking ,   Dublin, Ireland   (05.29.10)
I'd love to see proof of anything you have claimed in your statement. Or do you not need proof, do we just take this on faith? Everything you have was handed to you including your country.
28. #25 No Anat -He is DIRECTLY behind it and a sponsor of it
Alan ,   SA   (05.29.10)
29. #27
Jane   (05.29.10)
Wrong. We worked for everything we have. We built an infrastructure, including universities, hospitals, kibbutzim, roads, a proper army, etc. The British are still doing to you what they did to us - but we have risen above them.
30. #27 It wasn't so easy......
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (05.30.10)
First of all we were betrayed by the Brits (you know all about them, to be sure ) who were mandated to help us create a Jewish state from a small chunk of the defeated Ottoman Empire. The Jews supported the Arabs getting an immense chunk, today's Lebanon Syria and Iraq and the Emir supported a much, much,smaller chunk for a Jewish state in our ancestral homeland. It started with the Balfour Declaration, the Brits dragged their feet, reneged caused a mess and the rest is history. If you are genuinely interested in our conflict and its causes you need to understand both sides point of view and come to your own conclusions. Your post doesn't reflect that
