1. Israel has no intention to sign the NPT

Every nation has the right to posses nuclear weapons.

albert snow ,   sweden   (09.28.13)
Israel will of course sign the day the arab/muslim world recognizes Israel as a jewish state, are prepaired to open fully diplomatic and have friendly relations, stop incite jewhatred and terrorism against it´s people. When that happens Israel will sign the non nuclear treaty.

All these Arabic people are right to demand to Israel destroying its nuclear arms. Israelis are surrendered by so Many peaceful citizens like Hamas, Hezbollah djihad Islamic, al Nusra, bachar, Muslims brotherhood, al Qaida, al shebab, ...
7. Arabs seek a defenceless Israel - I wonder why.
Doug ,   United Kingdom   (09.28.13)
It is noteworthy how Israel's enemies constantly push for a defenceless Jewish state in the face of the surrounding Arab and Islamic nations and bodies intent upon Israel's destruction.  Every ploy under the sun is used to rob Israel of its perceived nuclear deterrent, and to simultaneously force the Jewish state to cede more territory to its enemies so that it has borders indefensible by conventional means. It clearly irritates such people that Israel is both willing and capable of defending itself against those who have repeatedly invaded with a view to Israel's destruction, and against those who constantly seek every opportunity to further such goals. Israel withdrew from the Sinai for promises of peace. They have since been attacked from there, and Egypt has used it for war games simulating another invasion of Israel. Perhaps Egypt should return the Sinai to Israel, or perhaps get its own house in order.
8. Why Israel? Why not the whole world?!!!
Son of Cyrus ,   UK   (09.28.13)
All nukes & WMD must be surrendered to Israel first, so that Israel can get rid of them all! Unless that day comes, Israel surrendered by so many enemies will need them to defend itself. Have a nice day!
9. Priorities
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (09.28.13)
Their economy is in ruin, their young people can't get jobs, the tourists are staying away and they have their hands full with terrorists running around the Sinai killing Egyptian soldiers and they are worried about Israel? Priorities folks, priorities. He should have stood at the podium and begged the tourists to come back.
10. Allow me to speak for Israel
Jordan Ariel ,   USA   (09.28.13)
11. Why do Arabs never ask Israel to fight global warming
(09.28.13)
12. Treaty
DOV ,   USA   (09.28.13)
Who is going to enforce the treaty. N Korea, Pakistan. come on its ridicules
13. will egypt give up the chemical weapons it has used before
zionist forever   (09.28.13)
Whilst the Egypt is demanding Israel sign the NPT they seem to be forgetting that Egypt has not signed the Chemical Weapons Convention ( Since Assad signed Egypt is now the only arab state not to do so ). Egypt also used chemical weapons against civilians in Sudan in the 60s. Israel has had WMDS for 50+ years and never threatened or used them whilst every single arab country who has or did have chemical weapons has used them against either civilians or military forces at least once ( Egypt included ). Sadly the arabs are going to succeed in putting Israel's nuclear weapons on the international stages the way they have never been before and the sweet talking Rohani is going to try and get the west to start focusssing on Israel rather than the "peaceful" Iranian nuclear program. In some ways the attempt to disarm Assad of his chemical weapons is going to harm Israel.
14. I guess everything is A-okay in egypt
(09.29.13)
since they take their time to worry about Israel and all.
15. Nuclear weapons is the cause of your existance
Sami ,   Eygpt   (09.29.13)
If you weren't powerful in arms and nuclear weapons you wouldnt stay in our Arabic land But you will not hide behind your power forever The day when we get strong and capture you will come The issue isn't how strong you are but how weak are we
16. Its a joke
Sarah B ,   U.S.A./Israel   (09.29.13)
Israel does not need any nuclear weapons because we have our God and we are the people of God
17. Israel Non Nuclear - it might be nice
Adam ,   London   (09.29.13)
if the Arab world acknowledges Israel's existence before that happens.
18. Israel will sign when Russia will as well
Gill ,   Modiin   (09.29.13)
19. No. 2 has the solution!
elke ,   USA   (09.29.13)
Abolish the NTP because "Every Nation has the right to possess nuclear weapons." So, Israel would no longer have a beef with Iran -- problem solved. Is that right? Or, Israel can continue to insist that in the whole region, only Israel can possess the ultimate in weaponry. It can do so without any cooperative international oversight in a secretive program run by a powerful military. Just like Pakistan and North Korea?
20. Why Israel should not sign the NPT
yossi   (09.29.13)
Very simple...because the holocaust cannot happen again.
21. Wouldn't read too much into it.
Michael the Copt ,   Los Angeles   (09.29.13)
Egypt is simply saying what is expected of it. In reality, Egypt could care less considering Egypt is much more worried about Iran than Israel. Egypt and Israel are closer together than ever before. Too bad they can't be more open about on account of all the primitive idiots in the Arab world
22. # 13
Jules   (09.29.13)
You may be right, but there were much more difficult times for Israel, when the country was all alone against almost the whole world, but still survived, and even reached the most formidable victories, like in 1967. I think the question of the legality of Islam itself must be brought into consideration this time. The Quran and Hadiths contain a huge variety of anti-Semitic texts, making Hitler looking almost like a junior hooligan compared to the Islamic teachings. "No NPT before considering the legality of Islam itself" - you may find this slogan too radical, but that is where the watershed lies between the existence and non-existence of Israel. IMHO, all future discussions at the international level should be concentrated on the fact that Islam is not a religion, but a malicious military-and-political doctrine aimed at obtaining the world power.
23. # 3: All that....
Zaba ,   Calif.   (09.29.13)
and at least 80 years in the wilderness. The muzlims have several generations of birth-installed Jew hatred to purge.
24. @21
(09.29.13)
as an israeli i agree with you fully. it is just politics in the un. but behind closed doors, israel and egypt are tight.
25. He didn't mean Israel, he meant Turkey.
Miron ,   USA   (09.29.13)
The largest nuclear bomb power in Middle East.
26. To 22
Mike ,   Malaysia   (09.29.13)
Thanks for the comment , and I would like to add that using the population as a fodder is considered as illegal ,since you can't use population as a fodder and when it comes to excessive force of the IAF , The world outcries and harshly condemn the act no population fodder must be used for example 1 country (6 million against 8 million ) the rule must be set-up in that order buddy
27. 4 Weapons of Mass Destruction
Norbus ,   JERUSALEM   (09.29.13)
Biological , Chemical , Nuclear , Fundamental Islam , all weapons of mass destruction. Man can control or limit the effect of the first three evil weapons .. The fourth is out of control , with no known antidotes, yet powerful support from the likes of Obama Zawahiri and Khamenei If no cure can be found very soon, the fourth and most virulent WMD will destroy Islam on the way to destroying civilisation as we now know it
28. Sign it
Ezra   (09.29.13)
Then tell the arabs to pound sand!
29. If Arabs / Iran make real Peace no problem
EgyptianJew ,   Ex. Cairo, Egypt   (09.29.13)
If Arabs / Iran make real Peace no problem. Silly to bully Israel.
30. Trying to get the upper hand !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (09.29.13)
80 Million Egypt against 8 million Israel, and Israel without Nuces. Hmmm - Easy understood what This Egyptian wants and why ?. Arn.
