The notion of a "double-standard" about Israel is constantly brought up in the UK whenever questions about Iraq obtaining nuclear weapons are raised. The fact that Israel is a democratic state and has threatened no one is always overlooked. Of course, no one ever suggests that India or Pakistan should get rid of their nukes, and that's despite the fact they nearly came to nuclear blows only a few years back.
Let Britain and France disarm first and then Israel will think about it.

It would sure be ironic if Jack Straw's mouth got the UK nuked from Israel instead of Iran.

Exactly.
Israel has threatened no one with their nukes. No one.
Israel needs those weapons as a deterrance (sp?), not an offensive weapon.

Stick with Iran, Britain, stick with Iran. They are your biggest threat, not Israel.

Israel is the only nation with nukes that's never used them, even for testing.
40 years of no use.
Only a Jihadist butt kisser would try to make them given theirs up.

Well, Jack the Straw Man, I believe that Israel's nukes are there to stay. Get used to it Jackie and try not to wet your pants.

When was the last time Israel paraded one of their missiles down the main drag of their capital? When was the last time Iran did? Well, let them. Just makes it easier for Israel to take em out. I think Straw is simply warning Israel that she better leave Iran alone. But I don't trust Bush not to jump on this new bandwagon, nor the next President.
To: Hannah Senesh
British Foreign Minister Jack Straw said Thursday that Britain wants to see a nuclear-free Middle East, saying now that action has been taken against Iraq and Libya, Iran and Israel remain the only two nations posing potential threat. Israel will nuke Britain before allowing itself to be disarmed.

Israel is the only nation with nukes that's never used them, even for testing. That may not be strictly true. Israel and India are allies, and there is considerable belief that one of the nukes that India tested in their tests a few years was in fact Israeli.
This in no way changes the fact that asking Israel to give up their nukes is ridiculous and insulting.

This kind of thing is rampant in the UK.
Just look at this article where a former British politician and now editor of the EUobserver actually blames Israel for the crisis with Iran (he actually repeats the lie that Israel is flouting UN resolutions):
Are we heading for a second war in the middle east?
http://euobserver.com/7/21095
There is a political storm in the UK about the fact that it has come to light that Britain helped Israel obtain nuclear weapons. "Such damned hypocrisy," they all cry.
To: Hannah Senesh
Straw might wanna rethink that statement. If he thinks he can bow up his chest and act all bad concerning Israel, he better think again.

The fact that Israel is a democratic state and has threatened no one is always overlooked. What is also overlooked is that Iran is signatory to the non-proliferation treaty and thus subject to IAEA inspection. I believe Israel is not.

Israel like India have shown themselves to be proper nuclear citizens of the world. A nuke in the hands of sane people poses very little threat to civilization. |

That quote is totally out of context, and probably doesn't mean what the headline says. "get back to work on respect to Israel," grammar notwithstanding, probably just means resuming/advancing the peace process in Israel.

err.. "get on to work in respect of Israel."

I'm just looking for the self hating Jews and Jack Straw falls in there, though somewhat ambiguously

Oh, thats okay.
I can think of a certain EU country whose capital is governed by an unabashed Communist anti-Semite that has a few nukes that we could start talking about.
