In reply to the discussion: Rep. Gohmert upset Obama’s Israel policy not based on Biblical prophecies [View all]HoosierCowboy
(561 posts)Is that Israel has nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them to any adversary in their region. A few years ago some high up in Israeli government actually admitted, not officially, that they exist.
The NNPT requires that the adherents to the treaty not expand the technology to other countries, which in Israels case is obvious. Israel has no interest in giving anybody else a weapon that could wipe it out with a small number of first strikes. So Israel is already there on that count.
The NNPT also requires that those nations make efforts to reduce and eliminate their stockpiles through negotiation.
...and the other thing Representative Goober doesn't take into consideration is that Israel signing the NNPT would put enormous pressure on their adversary Iran to stop their own nuclear program. Israel's nuclear capability is one of the main motivations for Iran seeking nuclear weapons. Don't think for a minute that Iran isn't intent on developing nuclear weapons as long as Israel has them.
.... and the other thing that Representative Goober doesn't understand is that Israelis don't believe whats written in the last chapter of the KJV Bible.
