Posted in: Revelations of Iranian plant return nuclear threat to center stage

I always feel when I hear Israel complaining about Iran and it's alleged nuclear weapons program that hypocrisy knows no bounds. How dare a country that clandestinely acquired nuclear weapons criticize another country for wanting nuclear power? It actually makes me think that Israel is a dangerous, rogue nation that should be under severe international sanctions.

Thank goodness that we have a president who is reluctant to shoot first and ask questions later. The talks with Iran should have occurred years ago as they would have resolved any problems by now. Bush simply wouldn't treat Iran as an international entity he would negotiate with. Too bad for Iran, Israel and the US. Now rather than open another war front in the Middle East we have a president who will treat with Iran diplomatically as civilized parties are wont to do. Finally!

Mary Robinson did a credible job at the Durban Conference. Certainly when both sides of a question are dissappointed with the result than she must have done something right. With all the problems in the world the bestowal of a medal to a special individual should not be taking anyone's time worrying about it.

I guess these emigrants were never truly American to begin with. I hope they aren't making a huge mistake confusing Zionism with Judaism. The article mentions that they are Jews but I don't consider Judaism and Zionism (return to Israel) as related at all. In fact I know that I have read many times that Israel is a secular state and not a religious one. In othe rwords I don't understand why Jews would want to practice their religion in Israel instead of America when both are secular states.

To rail against the president's chice for a medal of honour in this case is absolutely foolish. It makes the group represented by this article's author look like they are poor loser and whiners. ?Instead of falsely acussing the Durban conference of being anti-semitic why not dwell on the anti-zionism shown at the conference. Being anti-zionist is not a crime nor a moral failure. That political movement has been responsible for so much violence and enmity in the world that it deserves criticism. But please understand that such criticism is not aimed at the Jewish religion or its followers. It is strictly aimed at the politics of certain extremist zionists. Madam robinson was not at fault allowing such criticism to be aired publicly, far from it. She in fact did the world and Israel a service which if understood properly and acted upon could save Israel from much greater harm in the future.
