Double standards : Israel Continues to Stonewall Arab States About Its Nukes

Israel refuses to address its “nuclear capabilities” with Arab states at September’s IAEA conference.

Dan Joyner himself writes:

I totally understand why Israel wants to have nuclear weapons, doesn’t want to sign the [nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty], and wants to keep the whole thing “in the basement.” If I were an Israeli official, with the history of the Holocaust as my personal and national context, I would do the exact same thing. But … when they criticize other countries for wanting their own nuclear weapons, or for even doing research to build up their capability to one day acquire nuclear weapons if they decide they need them [it] doesn’t have anything to do with history, or with Israel’s unique perspective on the world. … This is just basic hypocrisy, and the absence of any principled leg to stand on.
