Nuclear-free Middle East not good for Israel
Haaretz Toward the end of the discussion, Israel's delegate, Israel Michaeli, said he opposed the article because the issue of Iran should not be connected to other regional issues. In any event, he said, everyone supports regions that are free of weapons of mass destruction, but it would be unacceptable and irresponsible to accept such a resolution at this stage.
This seems to be the strongest indication yet from a representative of Israel that it does indeed have nuclear weapons. Not that it would come as a surprise.
UN Security Council Resolution 687, numbered paragraph 14 says "the present resolution represent steps towards the goal of establishing in the Middle East a zone free from weapons of mass destruction and all missiles for their delivery..." Hey, if bombing the crap out of Iraq in the name of UNSC Resolution 687 was ok, why not bomb the crap out of Israel in the name of 687 since they are covered by the resolution?
