Greenpeace slams Israel's nuclear program

Greenpeace campaign for denuclearized Middle East takes it from Teheran to Tel Aviv. Activists warn aging Dimona plant a disaster waiting to happen, issue report detailing Israel's nuclear capabilities

"Despite Israel's policy of nuclear ambiguity, international reports maintain that this country has developed nuclear facilities and one of them, the Nahal Sorek science reactor, is only 30 kilometers from Tel Aviv," said Yonatan Leibowitz, Greenpeace Mediterranean communications director, on Thursday as environmental activists rallied against nuclear power in the Middle East.

Speaking at a press conference on the beach with the Rainbow Warrior, Greenpeace's official flagship docked in the background, Leibowitz released a report detailing the potential dangers posed to the populations of Iran, Israel and Turkey by nuclear installations. In front of the Rainbow Warrior, a Zeppelin flew with a banner calling for a 'Nuclear Free Middle East' and, in Hebrew, 'Nuclear is dangerous for us all.'

Greenpeace is living in an unreal world -- That is to say, one where the nuclear cat can go back in the bag. Now is not the time to critiscise decades-old nuclear programs. Now is the time to find ways to prevent nuclear attacks (missile defense systems) and to prevent proliferation.

Not only is this complaint futile, it is ignoring a power that is gaining nuclear weapons, in favor of chiding a power that has had them for forever. IMO, back to harrassing whaling barges for Green Peace. They seem to be moderately effective at that.

Technically there isn't any proof Iran has or is developing Nuclear weapon capability.

Nuclear technology is not the solution to either national security or energy needs.

Bullshit. Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia or anyone else in the world who wants clean, cheap, and safe power should be pursuing nuclear energy. The only problem I have is when they violate the NPT and develop nuclear weapons with their facilities, in which case any violator must be punished. Frankly, I don't care if Iran builds a billion reactors as long as they're civilian-grade facilities and no weapons research is done there. Nuclear is the only non-fossil solution to our baseline power needs in the short, and that's as true in the Middle East as it is in Europe or the US.

Though you ARE on my ignore list, I still have to point out.

Israel isn't mass producing Nuclear weapons they don't need too, they have enough to level all the Arab nations, (supposedly after all they never said they HAD any. They just said that they could or could not have them.)

US has gone to the missile defense program more or less.

Except Bush and his neutron bombs.

And one would trust Greenpeace alarmists on this subject, why? Remember, this is the group of "environmentalists" who insist on ignoring the one solution to the growing climate crisis.

If the reactors are in bad shape, they should be repaired. However, I do not, in any way, trust Greenpeace on the subject.

Nah, Penetrator Bombs. Neutron Bombs was his daddy.

At least Greenpeace is consistent. They don't like nukes of any kind - which is why I don't support them, actually. We need nuclear power for power generation and nuclear medicine. And as Kinda Sensible People noted, the Nuclear Weapons cat is most assuredly out of the bag (I figure the NPT might last another ten years - if we're lucky).

30 April 2003
Greenpeace today launched a unique web site, Zoom on Doom, mapping the geographical location of all known nuclear weapons facilities and storage sites around the world. Meanwhile citizen inspectors from Greenpeace conducted further surprise inspections of nuclear weapons states missions in Geneva, urging them to immediately disarm.
On Tuesday, Greenpeace conducted inspections at the US, French, Russian and Israeli missions. Today the inspectors, together with mock missiles visited the UK and China missions in Geneva - both official nuclear weapon states. They also visited the missions of India, Pakistan and North Korea, demanding these countries renounce their nuclear weapons programmes and join the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as non- nuclear weapons states. The missiles requested they be eliminated as a step towards nuclear disarmament, the central goal of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The NPT Preparatory Committee is meeting at the United Nations in Geneva until May 9.

Greenpeace's statement concerning Iran in March 2006:

No one can say for sure whether or not Iran has a nuclear weapons programme.

Which, if you are looking at it empirically, is absolutely true.

They then go on to say that if it were proven Iran had weapons or developing weapons capability:

Greenpeace would call on Iran to immediatly halt it's weapon programme and instead become a champion for peace. Nuclear weapons do not offer security, but increase tensions with the attendant risk of a conflict in which everyone will lose

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3382937,00.html

Yes, a nuke-free Middle East IS a good idea, except for one tiny little problem: The Arab/Muslim nations in the Middle East want to destroy Israel and kill all Jews, and they will do it if Israel has no nuclear weapons to defend itself with. It seems to me that Greenpeace is anti-Semitic and anti-Israel, because it singles out Israel's nuclear program as opposed to, say, Iran's.

Iran clearly has no choice here, Israel is clearly a threat to Iran and to the peace of the Middle East, these nuclear facilities must be bombed immediately.

ISRAEL's nuclear facilities must be bombed immediately? But it's OK with you if Iran has nuclear facilities and nuke weapons programs?

If you ask me, I think it is the Arab nations and not Israel who are a threat to peace in the Middle East, because they WON'T LEAVE ISRAEL ALONE.

Or were you saying that BOTH nations' nuke facilities should be bombed? Because if THAT is what you mean, then that is more acceptable.

But if you support Iran having a nuclear weapons program, but are opposed to Israel having one, that is nothing but politically correct racism.

I agree with both of you. I am not Jewish myself, but I support the Jews and their ONE HUNDRED PERCENT LEGAL AND LEGITIMATE Jewish State, Israel. There is entirely too much anti-Semitism in the world. The world in general needs to leave the Jews alone and STOP PERSECUTING THEM.

And IMNSVHO, Greenpeace, like the so-called "Palestinian" Authority, the United Nations, and most major news media outlets, are solidly anti-Semitic to an unreasonable and even borderline genocidal degree.

Israel already has nukes. And if they didn't build them themselves, they bought or otherwise received them from someone (likely the US).

Most nations don't have any waste. The US up until the 1970s would reuse the uranium and had little or no waste. Then for some reason Carter stopped that practice and we have had a growing stockpile of nuclear waste ever since.

Don't ask me why Carter made that boneheaded move. I figure someone with nuclear experience would be more intelligent than that.

There are plenty of critics of Israel on this forum. I don't call them anti-semites. I will call UB, you, OD, and Soviestan anti-semitic, but I have the posts to prove it.

You are nothing but a moron who denies the Holocaust and constantly uses debunked quotations to try to back up your feeble arguments.

BTW, in almost every Israel debate, it is you who brings up the Holocaust, not me. The only cases I bring up the Holocaust is when discussing motive for immigration. That can't be ignored because it is a fact that the European Jews who did make Aliyah in the 1930s and after the war did so either to escape persecution or because they couldn't live in a continent that had exterminated 2/3 of their people. That's one hell of a specter to live with.

The Zionists probably want to replace it with a military base, or a Synagogue that couples as a Bank too.

I agree that the third one contrived (especially as pro-Israel lobbyists in the US do have a lot of money), but to call the Holocaust a "perceived injustice" and to condone the murder of anyone who supports Israel's existence? I'd say that's pretty anti-semetic.

I see lots of people suggesting Greenpeace bias for not being critical of Iran but of Israel but do not find similar critisism of USA for being critical of Iranian nuclear systems but not critical of Israel.

Secondly Greenpeace are clear if clear Iran developing Nuclear weapon capapbility will be critical.

Lots of us in the world are cynical about Whitehall and Whitehouse statements re weapons of mass distruction. When they proove that there were weapons of mass distruction in Iraq I will be more critical of individuals and organisations who who do not jump top agree the USA world vision.

as most Zionist use the holocaust

Rubbish. I've never used the Holocaust to justify Israel's existence, and I can't remember the last time I saw anyone (except the occasional first time poster armed with :mp5: s and :sniper: s) use it in a debate. Most of the time, if the Holocaust is brought up during a discussion about Israel, it's the anti-Zionists who bring it up as a strawman to attack.

I want to be a mass murderer because I am opposed to Israeli foreign policy? Thanks for the generalisations IDF.

You aren't just an intolerant fool, but an illiterate one too.

You stated very clearly in a post that every Zionist should be killed. By definition, a Zionist is a person who supports the very idea of Israel's existance. Most Zionists disagree with Israel's policies at one time or another. You don't make the distinction between fundies like the late Kahane and those who simply believe Israel has a right to exist as a country.

Any literate person can interpret your post as saying anyone who supports Israel's existance should be killed. Therefore you are supporting the idea of mass murder and genocide against the Jewish people.

There are plenty of Jews on the left to far-left (probably making up the majority of Jews) who disagree with Israeli policies but are still by definition Zionist. You are a sick individual who supports the killing of them for that belief.

You seriously aren't just an anti-semite, but a person who has no sense of reality and needs serious therapy.

You're generally right, but even if he supports killing zionists that makes him anti-zionist not anti-semitic or anti-Jewish. You throw anti-semite as a buzzword around a lot and to be honest it harms your argument a lot more than it helps it.

I throw it around only with certain posters. I have the quotes to back it up.

OD is an anti-semite who claims everything is a Jewish controlled media conspiracy. (see Protocols, The International Jew, and Mein Kampf for other writings expressing that view) He also denies the Holocaust and believes that the US is in Iraq because of a vast Jewish conspiracy. Funny thing is the vast majority of Jews are left of center and are strongly against the Iraq War.

UB is an anti-semite who always tries to drag the Jews into everything. He makes bullshit posts about how the Jews have no culture and have been stealing culture from every group in the ancient world. Granted there are shared customs among other cultures, but that's because Judea was the crossroads of the world. He has also supported actions where terrorists blow up random civlians in a night club.

Adolf Prime is an anti-semite who denies the Holocaust, supports the killing of pretty much all the Jews. I don't really need to go too much into that. I think his own words are pretty damning.

OD is an anti-semite ..and I say you are the antisemite.. words are cheap.. and from your mouth they are so cheap its like a joke.
.
OD claims everything is a Jewish controlled media conspiracy. I never ever said:"every media is controlled by Jews"
.

.
OD denies the Holocaust.I think the holocaust happened.

OD believes that the US is in Iraq because of a vast Jewish conspiracy.I do? interesting.. I was not aware of that.
.
OD ... (see Protocols, The International Jew, and Mein Kampf for other writings expressing that view) Protocols? The International Jew? mein Kampf?? I have not read them yet.. why the reference to me?

Your imagination is wildly creative.. You should consider a Job at the movie industry. :D :D ;) :D

Great idea! Let's deprive Israel of its teeth when it's surrounded by hostile nations that call for its destruction and that of its people. In case you didn't notice, Iran is being run by a nutjob whiose called for Israel's destruction and there have been quite a few suicide bombings in Israel over the years. If anyone needs the protection and can be trusted to use them (or not) wisely in that region it's Israel.

Hiroshima at least. Japan was not surrendering. It was either that or kill millions more in an invasion.

Greenpeace is living in an unreal world -- That is to say, one where the nuclear cat can go back in the bag. Now is not the time to critiscise decades-old nuclear programs. Now is the time to find ways to prevent nuclear attacks (missile defense systems) and to prevent proliferation.

Not only is this complaint futile, it is ignoring a power that is gaining nuclear weapons, in favor of chiding a power that has had them for forever. IMO, back to harrassing whaling barges for Green Peace. They seem to be moderately effective at that.

Unless any missile defense system is placed under international control for the expressed purpose of making nuclear weapons no longer attractive for anyone, missile defense systems will promote more proliferation and a new arms race. If, say, the US develops a potent missile defense system, that will likely cause an attack by other nuclear powers before the US can fully implement it. The logic of the other country's leaders is "We can all die today, or just my country can die later." If a country has a missile shield, it gives them carte blanche ability to use nuclear weapons without fear of retaliation. I don't want to live in that world.

Just so I cut throw the ending crap foaming from IDF's mouth, I would like to say that I only ever said that the Zionist settlers that are imperialistically colonising the West Bank against international law are legitimate military targets for the Palestinians. They are helping in, and perpetuating the oppression and occupation just as much as the IDF are.

Having the restraint not to use nuclear weapons is the wisest course of action. Given that Israel probably had the bomb/s before the Yom Kippur War and didn't use it I'd say that was a wise (non)-use of a nuke.

I do see what you mean though. :)
