Likud members: Bomb Iran

In conference organized Saturday night by Minister Yisrael Katz, 400 Likud members vote to 'bomb nuclear reactor before it is too late'; party's central committee expected to convene Sunday to approve change in constitution initiated by Likud Chairman Netanyahu





About 400 Likud members, who took part Saturday evening in a conference organized by Agriculture Minister Yisrael Katz in the town of Hod Hasharon, voted by a large majority to "bomb Iran's nuclear reactor before it is too late," in the words of Likud member and Ra'anana Deputy Mayor Uzi Cohen.

According to Cohen, "we have been following the Iranians for a long time now, but the defense establishment chiefs issue warnings without doing anything."

"We must act as (former Prime Minister Menachem) Begin did when he bombed Iraq's nuclear reactor," he said.

I wonder how Israel would feel if the Arabs were to decide to bomb their nuclear reactor ?

The IAEA has said the jury is out on Iran's intentions and any attempt to attack Israel would certainly bring total annihilation from the west. Iran (like Israel) surely has a right to defend itself and the The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons that Iran has signed (and Israel has not) allows them the legal right to pursue nuclear energy .

What if Eygpt or Saudi or Turkey decide to pursue their lawful right to nuclear power , will Israel attack them too ? Not one country apart from Israel is questioning Iran's right to have nuclear power . But will anyone pressure Israel into following the rule of law itself and signing the NPT , of course not . For it is one rule for the Arabs and another rule for the rest of us.
