Steve,

" Israel is in breach of a treaty that its major aid donors subscribe to"

This is a false statement , as shown by my previous post. Your repeating it makes you a liar, not just misinformed.




Musket,

AT THE TIME that the NPT was being signed, ISRAEL WOULD have been a NWS ++IF++ it had signed up. It chose NOT to sign, and therefore is NOT bound by the provisions that apply to SIGNATORIES. IF it had been a signatory, it would be a NWS.

You may say that it should have been a signatory, but then you need to address India and Pakistan, BOTH of which were NOT NWS at the time of the NPT, chose not to sign, and THEN developed nuclear weapons. Any criticism of Israel without holding Pakistan and India to the same standard is obvious bigotry, and Anti-Semetism according to the above referenced EU definition.

Which is it?
