Calls for a Nuclear-Free Middle East Disregard Reality
(Jerusalem Post) Ephraim Asculai - The reemerging campaign to persuade/force Israel to sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty is strange at best. Asking Israel to join the NPT is ludicrous in today's world, with Iran calling for the destruction of Israel, Syria amassing chemical weapons and trying to develop nuclear ones, and with rockets threatening almost every part of the country. The voices linking the proliferation situation with activities aimed at universal nuclear disarmament are disregarding reality.
