The excerpts quoted below are from this article.

Yesterday Israel announced one of it’s most hypocritical actions yet; claiming that they are now pursuing nuclear power for civilian electricity.  In turn Syria, one of Israel’s bitter rivals, also announced they would like to build a nuclear power plant in the future.  However, Israel expects the world to never question their own actions, yet calls for mass condemnation of any Arab country pursuing the same goals:

Israel - which is widely thought to have a secret nuclear weapons program - is unlikely to accept Syrian assurances its program is civilian…..

So, even though Israel has long had a secret nuclear program and possesses up to an estimated 300 nuclear weapons of its own, they cannot stand for any Arab country even building a reactor.

Such construction could also increase pressure on Israel to open its facilities to inspectors with the International Atomic Energy Agency, which would shine a spotlight on an area the country has long kept secret.

The Jewish state is used to being accused of nuclear hypocrisy. It demands a nuclear-free Iran when no one doubts Israel has nuclear weapons of its own.

Charges of double standards could intensify - making it harder for Israel to argue that Iran must open all its facilities to world scrutiny…..

Yep, that’s right.  Hypocrisy.  Israel not only wants strict economic sanctions placed on Iran, but is actively lobbying the United States to attack them for pursuing the exact same goals that Israel has in mind.  Even if Iran were trying to develop a nuclear weapon, it is still outrageous considering Israel has hundreds of nuclear weapons and does not allow any international inspections of them:

Landau said his country (Israel) would open any nuclear power plants to international inspections - but said “we don’t see a reason” to allow inspectors into sites that are believed to house Israel’s nuclear weapons, or to sign the international Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty….

So let’s get this straight folks.  America’s number one reason for going into Iraq was because Saddam Hussein denied international inspectors full access to facilities, and therefore violated one U.N. resolution.  Despite how today’s “conservatives” claim to hate the U.N., they are now actively supporting a war based on a U.N. resolution - quite ironic isn’t it?  Or maybe it’s just plain stupidity.

Now, after Israel and America have been putting pressure on Iran to open up their facilities to U.N. inspectors, Israel flat-out says that they will not allow inspections of their weapons facilities nor will they sign the non-proliferation treaty.  Absolutely outrageous!  But, the American media doesn’t care.  Nor do they care that there have been over 60 U.N. resolutions condemning Israel, but America goes to war with Iraq over only one resolution.  Without the U.S. to unilaterally veto many of the resolutions, Israel would have well over 90 leveled against them.  No wonder the Arab world hates us.  Could our one-sided support of Israel be any more blatantly obvious?

In 2008, Israeli warplanes struck a Syrian site the U.S. alleged was a plutonium-producing reactor secretly being constructed with help from North Korea….

An Israeli raid in 1981 destroyed Iraq’s partially built Osirak nuclear reactor.

Israel has shown that they will use preemptive force to destroy nuclear facilities in Arab countries.  The U.S. has been complacent with such actions.  But, what do you think would happen if an Arab country launched a strike on Israeli nuclear facilities?  Do you think that America would stay out of it?  Do you think the media would remain unbiased?  Or do you think it would be a catalyst to pull the U.S. into another war for Israel?  I know which one I’d put my money on. 

Landau called Israel’s need for nuclear energy “imminent” but gave no timeline for building a nuclear plant.

Right, it is just assumed that Israel needs to pursue atomic energy to ensure its survival, yet the Left in America has prevented the expansion of U.S. nuclear power despite our own energy crisis.
