Topic: Israel and weapons of mass destruction

Ads by Google      No War For Israel Israel's arsenal of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) is for the first time fully revealed in a chilling documentary which shows how Israeli forces used one of these weapons against Palestinians in February 2001, and how U.S. administrations have been covering up for Israel since the assassination of John F. Kennedy in the 1960s. Editorial on Jewish racism: Israel, on the other hand, is a state of and for Jews. Israel Shows No Mercy, Even for the Dead Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) hurled stun grenades and tear gas canisters at a group of Palestinian and international pacifists holding a memorial service for Rachel Corrie, a US peace activist killed by an Israeli army bulldozer in the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah on Sunday. http://www.nowarforisrael.com      CUBA NEWS CUBAN NEWS HavenWorks.com/world/cuba capital: Havana, Republic of Cuba, Republica de Cuba "Showing signs of a more muscular approach to their common foreign policy, European Union governments said Monday they were ready to use force if necessary to combat the threat of weapons of mass destruction."...

Under pressure from Washington, Israel -- which is widely believed to have nuclear weapons -- did not respond to the attacks. Ben-Eliezer said a U.S. war in Iraq would change "the whole structure in the Middle East," including Israel's relations with the Palestinians, Syria and the Lebanon-based Hezbollah, which fired rockets at Israeli positions in a disputed border region Thursday. http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/meast/08/30/iraq.eliezer/index.html      Muslimedia.com It aims to impose further economic and political sanctions on Syria, as a form of punishment for the support it lends to anti-Israel resistance movements, the deployment of its troops in parts of Lebanon, its improving ties with Iraq, and its alleged stockpiling of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Syria draws a distinction between anti-Israel groups, such as Hizbullah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which are national liberation movements in the eyes of Damascus, and al-QaÂ’ida, which it regards as a terrorist group; Washington sees no such difference. The bill also shows the growing influence that other US domestic lobbies have had since September 2001 on the process of foreign policy-making, under the pretexts of "democracy" and "nation-building." Such antiseptic terminology has been increasingly used to cloak WashingtonÂ’s latter-day version of world colonisation that seeks to remake the world in its own image. http://www.muslimedia.com/archives/oaw02/syr-act.htm   (1199 words)      Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade (COAT) It also looks at the weapons of mass destruction that they have been used to "deliver" to targets around the world. By 1999, COAT's concept of conversion had been transformed to include social, legal, psychological and economic factors essential to the transition from a world based on war, greed, deception and violence, where "might is right," to a world based on peace, justice, truth, human rights and nonviolence. This issue of COAT's magazine provides shocking evidence showing that Prescott Bush and George H.Walker were the financial managers of well-organised American effort to funnel the investments of right-wing U.S. bankers and industrialists into Germany which funded the rise to power of the Nazi Party and Adolph Hitler. http://coat.ncf.ca   (3467 words)      Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG) Possessing chemical and biological weapons, an extremely sophisticated nuclear arsenal, and an aggressive strategy for their actual use, Israel provides the major regional impetus for the development of weapons of mass destruction and represents an acute threat to peace and stability in the Middle East.

It is almost a forbidden subject in U.S. political discourse, but it is well known that Israel possesses weapons of mass destruction. Worse yet, it often appears that there is a presumption that good intentions with regard to weapons of mass destruction (or with military matters generally) rest on only one side. http://www.sacobserver.com/news/commentary/012104/middle_east_weapons.shtml   (616 words)      Nuke Nation Israel's weapons of mass destruction Possessing chemical and biological weapons, an extremely sophisticated nuclear arsenal, and an aggressive strategy for their actual use, Israel provides the major regional impetus for the development of weapons of mass destruction, and represents an acute threat to peace and stability in the Middle East. The hypocrisy inherent in the condemnation of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and the obsessive focus on "rogue states" such as North Korea, while totally ignoring Israel's provocative arsenal, is breathtaking. For example, the possession of weapons of mass destruction can be a powerful lever to maintain the status quo, or to influence events to Israel's perceived advantage, such as to protect the so-called moderate Arab states from internal insurrection, or to intervene in inter-Arab warfare. http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Israel/Nuke_Nation.html   (2808 words)      CNS - Israel - Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Middle East Precise assessment of a state's capabilities is difficult because most weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs remain secret and cannot be verified independently.

Weapons of mass destruction (WMD) are weapons designed to kill large numbers of people, typically targeting civilians and military personnel alike. Weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons, are rarely used because their use is essentially an "invitation" for a WMD retaliation, which in turn could escalate into a war so destructive it could easily destroy huge segments of the world's population. http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Israel-and-weapons-of-mass-destruction   (923 words)      ISRAEL !

This is all being publicly done but by sleight of hand World Tribune and their vector Rush Limbaugh are implying that weapons of mass destruction have been found. Its president is Robert J. Morton, Managing Editor of the Washington Times and President of the publishing company for Geostrategy-Direct.com and East-Asia-Intel.com, which are renowned for releasing reports chastising countries that the Bush administration wants to invade, while ignoring weapons proliferation by countries such as Israel. http://prisonplanet.com/articles/june2004/061504massdeception.htm   (573 words)      Double Standards, Lies and Iraq : SF Indymedia I believe weapons of mass destruction is another invented propaganda term because of the double standards I have mentioned concerning Israel and South Africa and also because of other inconsistencies. A war with Iraq will not be about weapons of mass destruction, but about control of oil and the further expansion of the US global empire. Apartheid South Africa had weapons of mass destruction and invaded Angola and sent a terrorist army called Renamo into Mozambique to destroy the socialist government there. http://sf.indymedia.org/mail.php?id=149529   (742 words)      Conspiracy, Conspiracy, Never a Conspiracy! Already heard was the nuclear saber-rattling by U.S. President Bush and Great Britain Prime Minister Blair, who both stated that if weapons of mass-destruction were used by certain Middle-Eastern nations (enemies of Israel), then the U.S. and Great Britain would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons in response. And while it is likely that weapons of mass destruction which existed in Iraq before the war made their way out of the country during the invasion, the discovery of no weapons of mass destruction just fuels the fire of public international opinion against the U.S., Great Britain, and Israel. Either conspiracy does not exists, or it does exist; and if one conspiracy ever existed, that means that conspiracy exists, and that people must reexamine their purview of history with this understanding, and begin the process of rejecting the "Coincidency Theory" of history. http://www.universalway.org/conspiracies.html   (742 words)      Pravda.RU The Double Standards of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction, if he’s still got them, will be peanuts by comparison with the stuff Israel or America could hurl at him at five minutes’ notice.â€� The American weapons of mass destruction kill both allies and even American soldiers.

Of course, the CIA told the Bush administration that Hussein was unlikely to use any weapons of mass destruction or give them to terrorists unless the United States provoked him by attacking Iraq. Rarely, however, do high-level government officials admit that this occurs—as did Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz when he admitted that the administration settled on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction as the justification for the invasion because that was the only issue the security bureaucracies could agree on. http://www.independent.org/tii/news/030605Eland.html   (991 words)      Israel has Weapons of Mass Destruction, including Nuclear. Not one shred of evidence that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction in more than a month of war and occupation. Israel has Weapons of Mass Destruction, including Nuclear.

I would like to ask Mr Jack Straw about the result of invasion by the United States of America and Britain to Iraq - they were looking for weapons of mass destruction but they didn't find anything. Although if I'm asked, as it were, as an amateur historian rather than a professional politician where the responsibility lay for what happened in the late 1970s, I would by no means place it all at the hands of the religious elements in the Shias. http://www.ukun.org/articles_print.asp?SarticleType=17&Article_ID=627   (7066 words)      Guile, Gas and Germs: Syria's Ultimate Weapons - Middle East Quarterly - Summer 2002 [7] Theodore Hotchkiss Clark, "Proliferation of Surface-to-Surface Missiles and Weapons of Mass Destruction and the Emerging Role of Tactical Missile Defense in Israel, Syria and Iran" (Ph.D. diss., Tufts University, 1993), pp. When the chemical weapons Syria received from Egypt became obsolete, Syria moved independently into two main areas of self-armament: the first, aerial bombs and surface-to-surface missile warheads containing nerve agents; and the second, biological weapons. The origins of Syria's strategic concept regarding non-conventional weapons lie in its joint preparations with Egypt for their October 1973 surprise attack on Israel. http://www.meforum.org/article/493   (4399 words)      Terrorism & Security csmonitor.com "It was known in Israel that the story that weapons of mass destruction could be activated in 45 minutes was an old wives' tale," Yossi Sarid, a member of the foreign affairs and defense committee which is investigating the quality of Israeli intelligence on Iraq, told the AP yesterday. On Sunday, the former UN weapons inspector, Scott Ritter, told Y-Net, the website of the Israeli paper Yediot Aharanot, that the Israeli intelligence services reached the conclusion years ago that Iraq no longer had weapons of mass destruction. Reuters reports that British Prime Minister Tony Blair's efforts to quell the furor over Iraq's missing weapons of mass destruction have suffered another setback after a former top intelligence official tore apart his government's case for war. http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0204/dailyUpdate.html?s=entt   (1270 words)      Arabic News Weekly Edition for Iraq, 9/30/2002 Iraq has "military plans" for the use of chemical and biological weapons, Britain said September 24, in a dossier of evidence about Iraq's development of weapons of mass destruction. Aziz said that the U.S is unhappy about the agreement between Iraq and the U.N because the the U.N inspectors would ultimately say to the Ã’There are no weapons of mass destruction in IraqÓ and would expose the false claims of the USA.

The origins of Syria's strategic concept regarding non-conventional weapons lie in its joint preparations with Egypt for their October 1973 surprise attack on Israel. http://www.meforum.org/article/493   (4399 words)      Preemptive Strikes Will Not Disarm Iran The destruction of Osirak encouraged Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries to accelerate the development of less conspicuous weapons of mass destruction (WMD), such as chemical weapons, and develop long-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel. While the destruction of Osirak may have slowed Saddam Hussein's nuclear program, it by no means stopped it. Even Israel, a country known for its technical prowess, did not develop its nuclear capability in isolation: the Osirak plant was constructed by the French, who had built an identical plant for Israel. http://usatoday.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&urlID=12335993&partnerID=16   (952 words)      ISRAEL: The `forgotten' weapons of mass destruction The world's most efficient “secret” manufacturer of weapons of mass destruction was not Iraq, nor is it Syria — it is Washington's closest ally and partner in the Middle East, Israel. In February 2000, Knesset member Issam Mahoul said Israel had “200 to 300” nuclear weapons; in August of that year, the Federation of American Scientists said that Israel could have produced “at least 100 nuclear weapons, but probably not significantly more than 200”; the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute estimates that Israel has 200 nukes. Israel is widely believed to possess a tactical nuclear capability, including small nuclear landmines and nuclear warheads that it can fire from cannons. http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/2003/535/535p19.htm   (952 words)      Iraq Invasion: The Road to Folly Why Iraq alone is a danger among the 18 nations that possess weapons of mass destruction – including India whose new ICBMs will be able to deliver nuclear weapons to the U.S. &; remains a mystery. Virtually the entire world is against an invasion of Iraq, save Israel and Britain, and Tony Blair’s Labour Party is deeply split over the issue. Terrorists don’t need Iraq to concoct germ weapons, as Japan’s Aum Shinrikyo showed, and Saddam Hussein is too intelligent to invite nuclear attack by the United States or Israel by slipping germ weapons to terrorists. http://www.amconmag.com/10_7/the_road_to_folly.html   (952 words)      Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG) Possessing chemical and biological weapons, an extremely sophisticated nuclear arsenal, and an aggressive strategy for their actual use, Israel provides the major regional impetus for the development of weapons of mass destruction and represents an acute threat to peace and stability in the Middle East. Meanwhile, the existence of an arsenal of mass destruction in such an unstable region in turn has serious implications for future arms control and disarmament negotiations, and even the threat of nuclear war. In popular imagination, the Israeli bomb is a "weapon of last resort," to be used only at the last minute to avoid annihilation, and many well intentioned but misled supporters of Israel still believe that to be the case. http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/STE203A.html   (2643 words)      BBC NEWS Middle East Israel's nuclear programme They also accuse the US of operating a regional policy of double-standards, ignoring Israel's weapons programmes while insisting that others - notably pre-war Iraq, Iran and Syria - are a threat to peace because of their alleged weapons of mass destruction. And he urged Israel and its neighbours to begin talks on halting the spread of nuclear weapons in the Middle East. Shortly after its creation as a Jewish homeland in 1948 and following the horrors of the Holocaust, in which six million European Jews were murdered, Israel began showing an interest in acquiring nuclear weapons - the "ultimate deterrent". http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3340639.stm   (1070 words)
