Week of September 20, 2009 - September 26, 2009

Jew cinema


Just an observation as an outsider (athiest) after watching the movie defience. It seems like jews tend to only suffer, argue, or make jokes.  and occasionally complain.

 

Accurate?

 

Israel and the non proliferation treaty

So a non binding resolution passed in the UN urging Israel to open itself to IAEA inspections and to signing the NPT.  The funny thing is I did not hear about his from any US media source, and is not on any of the news sites such as drudge, huffpo and tpm, nor any mention on cable news.  This would seem to be a fairly important development and yet the only way I found out about this is from talking to my father in law who watches chinese television and brought it up to me.  How can it be that this story has gotten no play at all on US news feed?  It raises an interesting question in that how can we repeatedly go after Iran for it's nuclear program and site the npt and IAEA guidlines as justification when at the same time the US blocks any investigation into Israel's atomic capability, which is one of only three nations to not sign onto the npt,  The hardest thing to take is the arguement that if Iran developed a nuclear weapon it would start a nuke arms race in the middle east, well isn't Israel's nuclear weapons capacity the instigator in that already?  I would just like to see a little more discussion of this in the media, why is Israel such a special situation that even questioning the existance of it's nuclear program brings about shouts of anti-semitism.
