This is from way back in the Year 2005, but with all the talk about countries joining Nato today I thought this was an interesting Retro article

Not with all of the Israel haters in D.C. and Europe.

[SauronOfMordor]

If Israel was in NATO, then any attack on Israel would obligate NATO to go to war against the attackers.

It could easily turn into a war between the West and the whole Muslim world.

No thanks.

[Husker24]

Never happen, Europe will never let Isreal join Nato.

The main sticking point has always been that Israel would have to set permanent borders first before being admitted.

[Halls]

I don’t think so.

Klaus Schwab will propose a seven year trial period....

just for seven years, to see how things work out.....

- eschatology...

[jjotto]

Possibly, these days with Israel’s trade and defense agreements with Arab countries fearful of Iran, Israelis and Arabs could look to have defense agreements with NATO.

Probably no chance of full membership.

[packagingguy]

Sure am glad that didn’t happen. It’s not that I have anything against Israel, it’s just that they have been fighting since the 1940’s up until today.

War seems to be par for the course for any nation in that region.

Israel can stand on its own and doesn’t need NATO to do so.

[hardspunned]

Why not? The Warsaw Pact (NATO’s only justification) is just as much a threat to Israel as it is to Poland or the US.

[Tell It Right]

Why in the name of Baal would Israel join such a weak organization like NATO? LOL

[fieldmarshaldj]

Dismantle NATO !
