JIMMY CARTER REVEALS ISRAEL HAS 150 NUCLEAR WEAPONS

POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN THE TORONTO GLOBE AND MAIL

Thank you, Jimmy Carter, for a truth the world needed to be confirmed.

We all knew it - thanks to that poor honest soul, Mordechai Vanunu, whom Israel kidnapped and threw into prison for years, yet today keeping him threatened and limited - but confirmation is important in such matters.

The world needs to pressure Israel in this deadly matter. Their arsenal is precisely the reasons other (Arab) nations have wanted nuclear weapons.

Israel has been full of the worst, most destructive hypocrisy in this matter, always screaming about the need to stop others from arming, at almost any cost.

I think there is little doubt that Israel uses these weapons in private to intimidate others and to hijack American policy.

We had a report recently out of the U.S. about Israeli spies stealing American nuclear material in the early days of their weapons program.

We also know now that when President Kennedy learned from the CIA that Israel was developing nuclear weapons in the early 1960s, he was very angry and was committed to halting the program as introducing international instability.

Not too long later, as we know, Kennedy was assassinated.
