NPT In The Middle East

By Semperpapa

The NPT (Non Proliferation Treaty) conference is taking place at the United Nation from May 3rd to May 28, in order to analyze and generate support for a 1995 NPT resolution that, on the surface, was designed to make the Middle East a Nuke-free zone to make the area the sixth such zone together with Africa, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, the South Pacific and Latin America.

The attempt to rid the Middle East of nuclear weapons is old and, in reality, pointless, as everyone realizes that the effort is not going to go anywhere as long as a sustainable and concrete peace process will be achieved between Israel and the Arab countries.

The whole thing is a deliberate push on the part of the enemies of the state of Israel to push for its disarmament. Israel has, for years, never admitted its nuclear weapons programs and capabilities, keeping its enemies guessing about it, a clear move in support of a policy of deterrence against any further attack.

Israel, together with Pakistan, India and North Korea, has refused to be a signatory entity to the NPT, excluding itself from international inspections.

But in these days of obvious chilling of relations between the US leadership and Israel, the declared support of the State Department, meaning Obama, for a renewed push of the NPT is just the sign of the times.
The other four members of the UN Permanent Security Council, Russia, China, Britain and France, are all in support of the resolution to rid the Middle East of its nukes, and the encouraging opening of the US, is giving the resolution sort of a new life.

But what is the real purpose of this effort? Clearly, it is the desire of some of the UNPSC to see that Israel comes to sign on to the NPT and ultimately be forced to disclose its nuclear program, be forced to accept inspections from the IAEA and eventually be forced to rid itself of its nuclear arsenal.

And while this is the scope, the UN is completely helpless and unwilling to force Iran to give up its seeking of nuclear weapons.
And it is always gratifying to see the hypocrisy of nations like Russia and China, who on one side push for Israel to subject itself to the NPT, while continuing their technical support for Teheran’s nuke programs.
These two countries have expressed their intentions to possibly support UN resolutions against Iran that the US is pushing for, and we know why.
The Obama administration has removed some of the teeth out of the resolution by exempting companies, mostly in Russia and China, from having to subject themselves to the restrictions of the resolution, meaning that those companies will still be able to conduct business with Iran with impunity.

How is that for a window over the current international conditions?

While all this talk of NPT takes place, Iran continues its march toward obtaining its nuclear weapons.
Ahmadinejad continues its ranting against Israel, being allowed to come on American soil and speak at the United Nations. Not to mention being interviewed by the American media. And his message is always one to be appreciated.
During a television interview with ABC Good Morning America, Ahmadinejad stated that Iran will “definitely” continue its nuclear program and that he is not concerned about a possible Israeli strike against his facilities boasting

“They’re not a factor. In our defense doctrine, we don’t even count them,”
he said. “They’re finished,” he said, adding: “The Zionist regime can’t even
manage Gaza, do they want to get into a conflict with Iran?”

The sole purpose of this whole effort on the part of the United Nation is aimed at one goal: disarming Israel! And the American people must come to understand that. In the past Israel has been in the position to count on the support of the United States in its quest for survival.
Today, though, the traditional anti-Semitism always displyed by the United Nation finds a new ally in its quest, one the Israeli people probably never contemplated: President Obama.

Just my thoughts!
