I think they should sign the NPT also. Does that put me in the anti-Israel camp also?

No — but I would ask that we keep things in perspective.

Israel has a deliberate policy of ambiguity, but if they have Nukes, they have never used them, nor threatened to use them despite numerous wars throughout it’s history.

Focus on the real threats first: Iran/NorK/Pakistan.

The trouble with bringing up Israel in this conference is that if Obama let’s it, these other states could well end up consuming a LOT of time on Israel and not dealing with any other countries. This is a tactic used by the UN Human Rights Council all the time. There is a limited amount of time in the UNHRC working year to deal with specific issues, so countries and GONGOs (Government-Operated NGOs) fill up the agenda with Israel-focused issues and the rest of the world gets ignored.
