31. To: No. 22
Sarah B ,   New York City, USA   (09.19.09)
Ooooops. Lost me there for a minute. Please direct me to the international agreed convention that declares United Nations resolutions irrevocable international law. I cannot find one. I'm a lawyer; a damned good one. I haven't a single thing that declares United Nations resolutions are the equivalent of signed treaty conventions. You know. Like the Hague Second Convention and the Hague Third Convention that state uneqyuivocally that .... oh ..... land acquired while fighting a defensive war is for the victors to retain (that would be Israel, of course). Nor have I found any statute that declares settlements illegal by the conquering nation fighting a defensive war (that would be Israel, of course). Tick tock. The United Nations is an anacrhronism, on its way to the dung heap. Say good-night now, United Nations. Congratulations!!! You are 100 percent IRRELEVANT!
32. To: No. 26
Sarah B ,   New York City, USA   (09.19.09)
umm ... let's see .... how shall I say this .... Oh, I know! WRONG!!!! Do not ever underestimate Israel's capacity. Look what happened to the Arab world because they did. You wouldn't want the same to happen to you, now, would you?
33. BUNG @ 20; It would appear you know the answer to the
leo ,   usa   (09.19.09)
question "What's in it for Israel?". No need to get hyped up about the question itself. Looks like we are on the same side. Shana Tova 5770.
34. Bloodyscot @ 26; Interesting point.
leo ,   usa   (09.19.09)
Demona reactor gets old no doubt. That is if we are to think it is the same reactor, which was built initially. On the other hand, I think Israel should have enough know-how by now to be able to build new reactor on its own.
35. 9 David G.: The problem with your solution is that Muslims
Rivkah   (09.19.09)
lie. They can make peace treaties that last ten years or less but not more, while they increase their strength to attack. Truth to you is one thing. Truth to Muslims is something else. To a Muslim, it is true they want peace if forced into it; but not for longer than ten years. Read the book, "God's War on Terror" to get an understanding of the Muslim mindset that to the western mind is lying but to the Muslims is being true to the goal of world dominion.
36. #18 what if South Africa were nuclear?
observer   (09.19.09)
it would still have been apartheid. That's the charm of global cooperation at the IAEA Conference in Vienna that has been held for for few days back; Israel tried to blow up and at least ignore it. Real democracy; not an oppressing one; isn't it!
37. hamas or hizballa maybe able to show fireworks
(09.19.09)
38. #22 - "strategic vision" is not putting your................
Cameron ,   USA   (09.19.09)
head on the chopping block. The Israelis maintain themselves in a sea of unchanging, pathological enemies. That nuclear sword brought to an end the regular attacks & wars by surrounding states to obliterate Israel. When your back is to the wall, you do what you must. You do not throw your trump card away.
39. Exceptionalism
The Proud Primate ,   Portland Maine USA   (09.19.09)
End the free passes for the privileged and let all be subject to the same stringent requirements. AND let us move with dispatch toward a world free of nuclear weapons — like grownups, OK?
40. Who is going to force Israel to give up such Atomic arsenal?
Alan ,   SA   (09.19.09)
Israel doesnt only process Olives and Oranges.All you losers seem to think Obama will do all the dirty work for you that you couldnt do for all the past, say 100 years against Israel.Even before the State was established I tell you ,that Obama is a shooting star.He does not have his Senate and Congress approval to do to Israel what you hope he will do!!! Same way he came as a suprise ,so he will go as a suprise . You have arrayed Goldstone,Obama ,Mitchell, UK trade unions and every other rat and mouse against us Jews. That behaviour has actually made us all CLOSE ranks .We will fight you back.And we will WIN .
41. Can't do that #39. Tell Arbs to first rid of oil,300 million
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (09.19.09)
people they have, reduce their territories by 99.8% and throw away Quran Terror Manual too. This will make them equal to the natural, moral and human resources Israel has. When this is accomplished come back to talk to us till that day arrives we will keep our nukes, thank you
42. Never happen
Paul ,   Cairns Australai   (09.20.09)
Israel? Come clean, 'Fess up, tell the truth? Never happened before, and not about to start now.
43. Nukes?
David Baum ,   Ele Sinai, Israel   (09.29.09)
What is wrong with this world!!! My parents went through the Holocaust, we suffer from terrorism, all for no reason. We should have nukes and we need to use them to keep this a safe world.
44. Fairness
raskefing ,   port of spain   (10.04.09)
Obama speaks with forked tongue ! i agree Iran and all countries with nuclear ambitions should submit for IAEA inspections So should ISRAEL. Let us support a nuclear free world !
45. Anti Semites?
Mohammed ,   Saudi Arabia   (10.27.09)
Please.. spare us another round of winging!
46. what's in for Israel
James ,   portland, USA   (05.18.12)
well our tax dollars will no longer be illegal to give them for starters
47. what's in for Israel

48. A world looking for democracy....
sherri ,   usa   (05.19.12)
is "DEMANDING" a country sign onto a treaty. They're supposedly looking for a democratic world. But by demanding any country sign a treaty, an agreement, because THEY want it... Israel has rights to decide what treaties it wants & what it doesn't, without harassment. Resolutions to demand any country "sign treaties", is violating democracies concepts, & independent rights of nationhood. No other country is being demanded of. (Iran signed of it's own free will.) U.S., Pakistan, India, N.Korea -- all with nukes. So in a world looking for democracy, stop singling out one country to treat differently, Israel. Apply equally to all, same as in democracies. There should be resolutions at these countries for voting against democratic rights, nationhood rights, & international law on nations. A resolution against the UN by the UN..
