Arabs Criticize Alleged WMD in Israel.
At the U.N. General Assembly on Monday, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Egypt charged that the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency was holding back from criticizing Israel.
It is “unacceptable that Israel’s possession of such weapons should remain a reality that some prefer to ignore or prevent” the international community from dealing with, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher said.
Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaa, whose country has been accused by Washington of possessing weapons of mass destruction, said it was regrettable that some level accusations at Arabs while they overlook the Israeli arsenal.
Saudi Prince Saud al-Faisal said Israel’s nuclear program was a threat to security and stability in the Middle East. He expressed surprise that the International Atomic Energy Agency was intensifying monitoring of countries which had signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty while “we see that it continues to ignore the rejection of Israel in not joining the treaty.”
In related news, six-year old Timmy Smith criticized his father John for having a loaded .45 pistol. “Why does daddy get to have all the cool toys? I want a .45 too! Waa-aaa-aaa!” said little Timmy, lying on the floor and kicking his feet.
