Arab states: Israel's nuclear program is destabilizing Mideast

True, but it's doing it one country at a time using the US, first Iraq, now Afghanistan, and next Iran.

What have you been smoking, you delusional hasbara robot. WHERE is the evidence of the Pakistani airforce dropping nukes (or any weapons) on Israel?.

Cipora, the day Israel thought she could keep a large stockpile of nuclear weapons and remain the only nation in the region with them, was the day she lost ....Your shortsightedness will be your undoing.

i could hardly compete with obama who has huge amounts of power which he uses unabashedly. however, it must be noted, that as of now, obama has no foreign policy accomplishments. if he lets iran go nuclear, as seems most likely, his legacy will be greatly tarnished.

...that a decades long double-standard, where Israel acts with impunity to expand its never ending borders, and the United States equips and arms and protects Israel with its vetoes in the UN, these actions have increased radicalism and terrorism by people who simply cannot deal with the unfairness. President Obama is introducing the rule of law, and fairness. It is understandable that you are upset by this Cippy. I have been reading you for years and you have only disdain for the rule of law and fairness.

There is a reason: Israel will do about anything in its power not to use nukes, while Iran may just do the opposite. Thermonuclear weapons are effective at wiping, right ?

Since Israel has never admitted it has Nuclear weapons ! The fact they keep everyone guessing could be the best deterrent ever

In order to bring the missing Mahdi back they will not hesitate a nanosecond to push the button of chaos. They believe the crazy things they are saying for more than 30 years. The world heard in the 30's that Hitler won't do the things he wrote; he did. Same goes for madmullahs. That's why Iran mustn't have nukes.

Which has fought a war before against Israel

Actually David Ben-Gurion stated that they would kill any Arabs who were in Palestine or their holy Jerusalem. Many current day Israeli settlers are trying to kill as many Palestinians as possible. And as to your second idiocy; Israel has more manpower and firepower and resources than any Jihad group does. Im sure you would know the David vs Goliath myth; well here David is not winning and David is not a Jew in this real-life story either

are pathetic,,,as are their useful idiots in the West like Chris Cioc.

The government of Israel would likely prefer to keep its nukes than to make peace with her neighbors...similar to the issue of land....Israel never seems to choose peace and stability...more money to be made with tensions and war.

And it is for that very reason why both we and the Russians have reaffirmed our commitment towards a nuke free world. The Cold War attitude of aggression towards anything Russian has blinded us for too long, and it's great to see that we're starting to move past it. Now it's time for Israel, India, and Pakistan to start getting rid of their arsenals.

Arabs do not hate jews because they're jews, they hate them because they are occupiers! Well, if we want to go back to the history of this lands, all three religions belong to this land and that doesn't mean that Jews shall come back by force annex and kill every creature living in the land. Unfortunately, this what was happened and still happening for 100 years now. Israel, in fact, is the one bringing hatred to itself. Being an occupier of millions of people for tens of years now is a reasonable cause for everyone to hate Israel. Leave Palestinians alone and let them live freely and no one would have any problems. I am even confident that Pals and Israelis can becomes very good friends through business and other collaborations!

The Arabs have offered a peace plan...they're still waiting for Israel's response. Spare us the crusty rhetoric about "Arab hate"....look in the mirror. Tell me with a straight face there are no Rabbis in America spewing anti Arab hate .... Trust me, cousin, I have Jewish friends who tell me alot.

Why Palestinians have not claimed lands, to the British, the Turks, The Cruzades, The Mameloukes, The Romans, The Greeks, The Asirian and we are back 3000 years ago when in the land the Israelites dwell, Why now in the last 20 years and not to the preceding civilizations ?

Osama - sorry friend but saying that Israel has "killed every creature living on the land", and that the problem would disappear if Israel would "leave the Palestinians alone" is just plain wrong. Where is the Palestinian responsibility? Where are Egypt's and Jordan's? As long as people keep trying to blame Israel for all the problems that have beset the ME, the problem will continue. Ibrahim - no interest in being crusty at all, but the Arab peace plan has been rejected because of the issues of Jerusalem and more importantly, the right of return. A peace plan that eliminates Israel will never be acceptable no matter how many times people point to the Arab proposal that is built on nonstarters. So what is there are Rabbis in America spewing hate. There are Rabbis everywhere who do not as well. That is not the issue at all, cousin, and I have many friends throughout the world of all religions (including many Muslims from ME countries) who are sick and tired of Arab hate. Both sides must give to get - it is not just up to Israel.

We should distinguish Arabs from Arab states because there is a difference between an individual Arab and her government. All of the Arab states in Israel vicinity are ruled by dictators, monarchs or by strong fundamentalist undercurrents (Hamasin Gaza, Hez in Lebanon). Making peace with my friend the Arab is not the same challenge as making peace with a government that needs an external enemy to keep its people preoccupied with what is going outside the country.

Anti-Jewish/Anti-Israeli sentiment is running rampant these days. The only stable element in the Middle East IS ISRAEL. The not so clever plan to de-legitimize and destabilize Israel is fostered by the 22 surrounding Arab dictatorships and Monarchies that have but one goal....NO ISRAEL. The inroad to that is to call on the no-nuke community to declaw Israel's ability to mount a viable self-defense and to remove the teeth from the bite that may be present from a potential nuclear response from Israel if they were so threatened so as to think their end was imminent. As long as Israel has nukes, the stasis remains, and Islam cannot fully "reclaim" or "dominate" what they believe to be theirs. Israel's nuclear capacities were enabled by the USA and France, as Western coalition allies with a stable base in the armpit of humanity. Obama's arrival has changed all that along with the PLO and Hamas charters for Israel's elimination. But, as long as Israel remains and keeps their deterrent, such nations as Iran and Syria will not be able to dominate the seens, thankfully. We don't need a revisiting of the dark ages on the Middle East.

Israel made a very fateful decision in the 1950s to become the first nation to introduce nuclear arms to the Middle East. Nixon and Kissinger (Zionist jew) made and equally fateful decision to lend U.S. support to Israeli weapons of mass destruction. Now, the chickens are coming home to roost.

the occupation of half of Cyprus by the Turks ? I'm pretty sure Israel could co-operate with the Palestinians without the constant meddling of Iran, Syria etc. Countries who coudn't give a monkies about them in reality, because if they did, they would educate the kids instead of breeding terrorists.

Yes, the Saud plan, that was turned into Swiss cheese at the A/L meeting in Lebanon. The Saud plan that essentially is no better than a maifoso order to give the Arabs everything they want, with the possability of maybe thinking about some sort of peace agreement, but nothing too close, with Israel. . The reality is, when the plan was presented, then Israeli PM Ariel Sharon asked to meet King Abduallah of Saud to discuss the plan directly. . Unfortunately, the Sauds ran in the other direction and appear to have kept running. . Meanwhile, Syria's Assad has reitereated that even if he gets every last inch of the Golan, there is absolutely no way that Israel will experience "normalized" peaceful relations with Syria. Beyond that, HAMAS and Hizballah cling to the maxim that the only Jewish state will be a dead one. So much for the "peace" part of the peace plan. . As for your "Jewish" friends and supposed rabbi's, I remain unimpressed. Let's take a look at the facts on the ground. 20% of Israel's population is Arab in a state where they can be elected to any position in the government. Contrast that with an Arab world that has been essentially ethnically cleansed of its Jewish population, with Yemen being the latest.

Don't forget peace plan came after 50 years of hostility, and 3 attempts to wipe Israel off the map. So don't blame just Israel. Put at least some blame on its neighbors. Actually I think it will take much of generosity and good will on both sides to make peace possible. The war has already went on for much too long, and it had started to work on peoples' minds. What is needed now is just a way out of it, and, say, 20 years of real peace.

I have never heard a Rabbi or any Jew talk about any gentiles in synagogue in my 61 years as it is forbiden. We're not even allowed to mention someone is a convert in to our religion. You are a slandered by inference and inuendo which is why Jews and Arabs like you can never be friends. Written with a very straight face.

Jews are the real resource and the power of their G-d; it gives the illusion to Arabs that if only they lived on that land they, too, would be a material success. They have lived on the land and it has become desolate, a wasteland by over grazing with goats from Moroco to Pakistan. When the last King of Jordan died, he released the land titles taken in 1967 from the Registrar/Recorder's office in Jerusalem and it demonstrated the Pals own very little land at all. Big lie is being put forth my the Arabs to overcome this obsticle becasue UNR 181 gives the empty land to the Jews.

There is more hatred and antisemitism by so-called Israel "supporters" than all other groups of participants combined; it's not even a contest. I do not think the average reader here knows just how hard you have to dig to actually find any of this "Arab" or "Muslim" "hate" of Jews. It is there, but you really have to dig down very deeply to find it, and you sure won't find it in comments say at Lebanon's Daily Star. But go to almost any, if not all, right wing, or Israeli Web sites, or places like the tea baggers in the US hang out, and those comments are dripping with anti-Arab and Muslim venom and hatred and woe to any Jew who dare question them. They then are turned on, called terrorist lovers, and self-hating, and traitorous, and even worse. From a regular Joe to Richard Goldstone, it's all the same. SSDD ;-)

to the Arab peace plan, that is similar to Israels peace plan, that tells the palestinians to go live elsewhere, where they will no longer suffer so much and where they can live in peace
