1. Oh, this is juicy!
Resistor   (05.24.10)
But we knew all along!
2. No surprise
Palestinian ,   Beit Duqqo,Palestine   (05.24.10)
So much for "responsible power" to be trusted with nuclear weapons israel tried to spread them instead of contain them and yet Iran is gonna be the one that gets sanctions. Israel is the only country in the world that does no bad and the only reason why is because if israel was to be destroyed the europeans would be crying with all the jews that would return home and trust me so many israelis hold dual citizenship so they would have no problem returning there is no way a country like israel could live in the middleast its only a matter of time before it messes up......
3. naughty!!!
Cameron ,   USA   (05.24.10)
Say it ain't so, Joe.
4. Israel already sold Nukes to Iran during Iran-Iraq war?
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.24.10)
We know Israel was very supportive Iran during Iran-Iraq war just because they reckon on Iran could kill more arabs. In fact Iran-Iraq war was a result of just Saddam Husein's ugly and aggressive policies. Possibly Israel already sold Nukes to Iran. Many times I repeated here, If Iran acquire nukes one day, it will be sold by Israeli businessman or a zionist American or French businessman!
5. We all knew. Barely even newsworthy.
Dr. Strangelove ,   Los Alamos   (05.24.10)
It's not like N. Korea has'nt already supplied Iran with it's own version of warheads. They're just trying to get them to fit on the "Shahab".
6. And then they claim iran will hand over hezbollah nukes!!!!
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (05.24.10)
Look who's talking. The so called PEACEFUL nukes of israel found their way in S.Africa. I wonder if these talk backers here would still claim that israel's nukes are no danger to anyone.
7. Peacceful israeli nuclear weapons??
Albert ,   US   (05.24.10)
I believe this is what israelis bragged a lot when it came to the issue of israel's nuclear arsenal. Surprise,surprise. But on second thought,NAH,israel has had them for many years and hasn't made use of them(they just ended up in S.Africa). Of course they can be still trusted with them nasty weapons.
8. Apartheid Regimes in Bed Together?
Nour ,   One-State الدولة   (05.24.10)
Gosh - what a surprise! To put icing on the cake, the very same wolf who "won" a "Nobel Peace Prize" at the center of this story. Too many skeletons in "Israel"'s closet. The only solution is one man, one vote, with the right of return of ALL refugees who wish to return. Anything else is Apartheid and unacceptable to a majority of Palestinians worldwide. Human Rights, Justice and Truth are on our side. While Racism and apartheid are on Peres' side obviously. As #1 said, we knew it all along and it's no secret that these despicable regimes are bed buddies.

MR CYNIC ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (05.24.10)
Small ,medium and large .
11. So what?
Brad ,   USA   (05.24.10)
Israel offered a gift to its teacher, mentor and spiritual leader - what's wrong with that??? South Africa gave Israel basic "modus operandi" that it developed - you think that they do not deserve at least a small gift? Yeah, yeah, this is nuclear weapon, but look at it like this: it is not bigger than a basket ball! So... :)
12. Juicy for conjecture lovers
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (05.24.10)

15. Alan of SA - come out of your hiding!!!
Nour ,   One-State فلسطين   (05.24.10)
Where is ALAN OF SA NOW TO JUSTIFY THE UNJUSTIFIABLE? Hiding under a rock perhaps?
16. What nuclear non proliferation treaty?
Robert ,   Brisbane, Australia   (05.24.10)
I guess we now know why Israel refuses to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
17. To Nour
Brod ,   USA   (05.24.10)

21. Israeli nuclear heads
didier ,   France   (05.24.10)
In 75 SA needed them to counter USSR,they didn't buy if this story is not fabricated But the point is that Israeli ennemies are scared to death & THIS IS GOOD Peace is only because of nukes,muslims & arabs are so nasty.....
22. For Nour, Resister, Peter,Pal,Tayfun and all the Isra haters
Alan ,   SA   (05.24.10)
" At the talks Israeli officials formally offered to sell South Africa some of the nuclear-capable Jericho missiles in its arsenal." "Among those who participated in the meeting was the South African military Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General RF Armstrong, who prepared a memorandum that lists the benefits of acquiring Jericho missiles, but only if they were fitted with nuclear weapons. IN THE END THERE WAS NO NUCLEAR WARHEADS AND NO SALE EITHER . IN CASE YOU DONT READ Y NET REGULARLY ,ISRAEL IS IN TOP 5 OF WEAPON SALES COUNTRIES-SO THEY WERE OFFERING JERICHOS TO SA (SO WHAT) TO MAKE IT FAIR ,ISRAEL MAY EVEN DELIVER A FEW JERICHOS TO IRAN AND SYRIA SOON AS WELL
23. NOT SURPRISED!, AN APARTHEID STATE HELPING ANOTHER ! ...
SINGER ,   SINGAPORE   (05.24.10)
PERES IS AN HYPOCRITE!
24. Iran and South Africa should not be nuclear
Ron B. ,   Lod   (05.24.10)
In sharp contrast to Israel’s alleged program, it is clear that Iran’s nuclear project is defensive rather than aggressive. Consequently, it is universally recognized that if Iran becomes a nuclear power, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and other states will begin developing their own nuclear arsenals in short order. That is, it is absolutely clear that if the NPT is to have any relevance in the coming years, if there is to be any hope that counter-proliferation regimes can be useful, preventing Iran and SA from acquiring nuclear weapons must be its signatories’ chief aim.
25. the "left" (pro Palestinians) has explaining to do
ygalg ,   israel   (05.24.10)
26. South Africa Report has nothing to do with the Present
Essie HaKohane ,   FL, USA   (05.24.10)
Look at Israel's track record. In all the decades she presumably had nuclear bombs, she never used it as a deterrent or to threaten her neighbors. On the other hand, if her neighbors (Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Syria et al) should ever get their hands on this weapon, they would not hesitate to use it against Israel, Iran made this perfectly clear.
27. Why has little pressure been put on Israel to sign NPT?
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (05.24.10)
If the US/EU truly wanted Israel to sign NPT then they would have to but they have never used any real pressure, like they tried with India and Pakistan or to some degree on Argentina and Brazil. Most likely there is some agreement not to push it while working on ME peace deal.
28. News disclosed by CIA- Give a kissed goodby to your Nukes
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.24.10)
USA is in progress of strip off Israel of its Nukes soon, this peaces of news, it must be true but not fabricated, leaked to international public toward a final hit Israeli determination to keep Nukes. There is obvious discontent with Israeli Nukes all over the world and US can go nowhere unless Israel stripped off its Nukes. Give a kissed goodby to your Nukes. Still you are not aware of what is getting on in international arena
29. responsable image?? cheers i needed a good laugh
(05.24.10)
30. The sensation ,bomb news of the day .
sami ,   Lebanon   (05.24.10)
Great gift for Ahmadinejad selling nuclear weapons to an Apartheid regime. Wow Israel offered to sell the apartheid regime nuclear warheads the same time attempting to convince the world that even though it possesses nuclear weapons – it uses them responsibly, unlike Iran that cannot be trusted. That is all the juice of the news. Israel with its exaggeration, fabrication and falsification about how advanced is the Iranian nuclear program found itself trapped with own stupidity .Now the whole world start concentrating on Israel nuclear arsenal more than ever. Congratulation.
