1. Should the primitive, backward, hopeless world of Islam
(02.12.18)
get nuclear know-how& “toys” it would be the end of humankind’s progress, at least for a foreseeable future.
Pakistan is bad enough, but if it spreads: Allah help us....
2. Russia has been building nuclear reactors in ME for a decade
(02.12.18)
i was warned by an indian friend that putin was building nuclear reactors
in arab states at least a decade ago.
3. Nuclear weapons in the ME
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (02.13.18)
Arab and Muslim states in the region have a moral, religious and national duty to possess a nuclear arsenal to counter Israel's huge arsenal and pugnacious hegemony. Arab states should follow the example of Pakistan.
I believe Israel, which tightly controls American politics and policies, is hell-bent on creating a Hebrew empire extending from Egypt to Iran at the expense of Muslims. Muslims must defend and protect themselves..
4. with all due respect to Eichner & Dr Shay...
Adler Sayings...   (02.13.18)
Before talking about moral, religion, politics or national duties, i think this kind of articles lacks a very important issue, how important is the Planet Earth for humanity. It is not a secret, the earth's oceans are all connected one to each other. They moderate the earth's temperature by absorbing incoming solar radiation. So, if the oceans are a critical part of the climate system, you can understand also by simple logic how all nuclear & radiactive waste is a threat to the planet, to the environment & the ecosystem.
- Artificial nuclides in the ocean have originated a global atmospheric fallout resulting from nuclear weapons tests and from those derived from nuclear reactor wastes entering the ocean. As you probably know, harbour waves or tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, underwater detonations from submarines or nuclear devices, landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts, all have the potential
to generate a tsunami. Radioactive contaminants from nuclear waste disposaland spills by the former Soviet Union have added a very large amount of radioactivity to the Arctic ocean. The winter 2017-2018 have been showing climate change effects. Its up to you to care about it or not. Shalom



5. Once more "special friend" ...
Avi L.   (02.15.18)
Once more the "special friend" was just, at best, a day dreaming product of a self deluding guy who spends a few salaries in make up.

What did "special friends" until now?

Nothing friendly.

No one missing that guy Obama? The one who topped up IDF budget with a never seen before amount?


Donald will fall sooner or later, let's just hope that that Iran's friend, Sanders, doesn't get elected.

Still better Harrison Ford, he is more presidential, he already played the president in a movie where he even killed terrorists bare handed.
