U.S. and other big powers back Mideast nuclear arms ban (Obama to force Israel to disarm)
Reuters ^ | May 9, 2010 | Reuters

Posted on 05/09/2010 6:27:43 PM PDT by SmartInsight

The United States, Russia, Britain, France and China voiced support on Wednesday for making the Middle East a nuclear-weapons-free zone, which would ultimately force Israel to scrap any atomic arms it has.

The move, in a joint statement, reflected U.S. concern to win Arab backing for sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program by offering a concession over its ally Israel, but Washington says the zone cannot be actually established yet.

"We are committed to a full implementation of the 1995 NPT resolution on the Middle East and we support all ongoing efforts to this end," the five permanent U.N. Security Council members said in a statement issued at a conference taking stock of the 1970 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The 1995 resolution adopted by signatories of the landmark arms control treaty called for making the Middle East a zone without nuclear arms. The Jewish state has never confirmed or denied having nuclear arms.

"We are ready to consider all relevant proposals in the course of the (NPT) Review Conference in order to come to an agreed decision aimed at taking concrete steps in this direction," said the statement, which was obtained by Reuters.

U.S. support for the idea of creating such a zone in the future could be unwelcome to Israel, which has said it can only consider it once there is Middle East peace.

These peabrains don’t know their history. This is what happens to the enemies who take on God’s country and dare trust in their own plans.

Zephaniah 2:8-15

Against Moab and Ammon
8 “I have heard the insults of Moab
and the taunts of the Ammonites,
who insulted my people
and made threats against their land.
9 Therefore, as surely as I live,”
declares the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel,
“surely Moab will become like Sodom,
the Ammonites like Gomorrah—
a place of weeds and salt pits,
a wasteland forever.
The remnant of my people will plunder them;
the survivors of my nation will inherit their land.”

10 This is what they will get in return for their pride,
for insulting and mocking the people of the LORD Almighty.

11 The LORD will be awesome to them
when he destroys all the gods of the land.
The nations on every shore will worship him,
every one in its own land.

Against Cush
12 “You too, O Cushites, [c]
will be slain by my sword.”
Against Assyria
13 He will stretch out his hand against the north
and destroy Assyria,
leaving Nineveh utterly desolate
and dry as the desert.
14 Flocks and herds will lie down there,
creatures of every kind.
The desert owl and the screech owl
will roost on her columns.
Their calls will echo through the windows,
rubble will be in the doorways,
the beams of cedar will be exposed.

15 This is the carefree city
that lived in safety.
She said to herself,
“I am, and there is none besides me.”
What a ruin she has become,
a lair for wild beasts!
All who pass by her scoff
and shake their fists.

“What in the name of God were people thinking who voted for this man.”

1) “hope”
2) “change”
3) God won’t mind ...
4) He’s SO handsome and articulate and clean!

Reading all the headlines on Drudge - I am really starting to think that history is repeating itself. I used to think that perhaps Europe could not possibly find itself back in the position to be in the middle of such a freakin mess - but HERE WE ARE.

Throw in Russia and a few other countries - trouble beyond our imaginations is brewing.

The question is - can we do anything to stop this train that has been set in motion. It appears not.

It is almost like we are watching a movie.

Unreal and quite scary.

I’m not on the bandwagon that Obama is the AC, but he sure is a good forerunner.

The antichrist, probably, will not need a teleprompter. :)

I think they should disarm, also. And, it’s so simple to do: If they have 200 nukes, they could just crank Pakastan, India, Iran, China, North Korea, etc, etc, into the fire control targeting computers and then push the ‘fire’ button. In a few minutes....GREAT BIG B-O-O-M-S AND PRETTY MUSHROOMS.......thus they will have destroyed a bunch of their nukes.

If 0 gets Israel to give up her nukes for the Temple, he is certainly a part of the triune anti-Christ.

I have heard that the Russian emigres were all placed in the settlement areas and consequently,the source of many of the current problems in Israel. Do you know whether of not the ones you worked with lived in Gaza or the West Bank?

If they did,is that where you worked with them or could they get past the guards every day to get out of the territory and into Israel proper,or whatever it is known as.

The most dangerous period in American history will commence if the elections this year go very badly for the democrats. All thug nations will estimate that Obama will be a 1 termer and will thus make their evil moves during the last 2 years of his presidency.

A particularly critical period will be the short amount of time between Obama’s loss in 2012 and the date when his replacement takes over. An interesting date also happens to fall during this short window....curious.

I can’t believe this:

“In the Presidential elections of 2008, 78% of Jewish voters, or close to 8 out of 10, chose Obama.”

I thought some 66% voted for him, and it was nearly 80% — it boggles one’s mind.

Now he lost some of their support, but still has more than he deserves, it should be 90% NOT wanting to vote for him.

Poll: Obama has Lost Almost Half of his US Jewish Support

If true, this s**ks. Israel is surrounded like... well, I can’t think of a truly analogous situation. They’re surrounded. Nukes give them the edge. Without ‘em... yikes.

Unfortunately, it’s true — Reuters got a hold of the actual text and I checked and it’s confirmed by other sources. Obama is doing everything to paint Israel as the bad guy and whitewash Iran.

by international law, israel is not permitted to have weapons of mass destruction. No nation other than the original UN members with veto power can have weapons of mass destruction.

Who else is not "permitted"?

Yes, indeed. I would feel so comforted to know that Israel has been disarmed, just as long as N Korea and Iran still have nukes.
