Israel vs. Iran...Nuclear Powers in the Middle East...by Jamil Shawwa

In an article published yesterday in the Washington Post, *link attached, the Post's Ombudsman highlights in my opinion two important points, the first one is it ok to discuss the State of Israel nuclear power, and the second one why are we, the world community, quiet  in regard to Israel’s nuclear power and very aggressive on Iran’s nuclear potential. The answer to the first question is yes, it is ok to discuss Israel's nuclear power, like any other country. The answer to the second question is, the article highlighted it in part as well, that Israel is not a signatory country to the Non-Proliferation treaty and accordingly it does not need to allow inspection as Iran needs to; Iran is a signatory. Another reason here is that from Israel’s perspective it is surrounded by hostile countries, including Iran that its rulers and religious dictatorship threaten the State with all kinds of harms and showcase their hatred to the country-at least publicly. Once Israel and the Arab and Muslim countries become formally and publcly in peace, Israel’s nuclear know how will, I'm sure, be shared and benfit other interested countries in the Middle East.
