Citizens for Fair Legislation
For Immediate Release
July 10, 2004
********************************
CFL ALERT: THE U.S. MUST NOT CONTINUE TO IGNORE ISRAEL'S ARSENAL OF
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION
TALKING POINTS
* United Nation's nuclear watchdog, Mohammed ElBaradei visited Israel this
week and will raise the idea of a nuclear-free Mideast with the
Israeli state. He said, "I would like to see Israel supporting the nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty." ElBaradei also said he did not intend to push the
Israeli government on the nuclear issue. "It's not
a question of pressure. I have no power to pressure." ElBaradei has repeatedly
called for Israel to dismantle its nuclear arsenal and last
November ElBaradei said Israel should sign the nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty (NPT) and thus open up its atomic sites to international inspections.
ElBaradei has also condemned "this imbalance in the region [with] Israel
sitting on nuclear weapons and
everybody else trying to stick to the nonproliferation Treaty." He will also
raise the idea of the IAEA sending inspectors to monitor
Israel's nuclear activities, something that Israel says it will notpermit to
happen.
*Contact your representatives and ask that the U.S. sponsor a UN Resolution
that would investigate Israel's nuclear arsenal. Remind
them that we waged war on Iraq because the Bush administration falsely claimed
that Saddam had WMD's. Meanwhile, Washington has repeatedly
prevented any discussion of Israel's nuclear weapons at the UN. These double
standards are indicative of the racist double standards in
Washington against Arabs and Muslims and as anti-American sentiments intensify
in the rest of the world we have an obligation to show that
we will not tolerate Israeli flouting of the law while attacking Arabs for the
same. Ask your elected officials to support legislation that would call for
immediate diplomatic and economic sanctions against Israel for its repeated
flouting of international law, U.N. resolutions and its nuclear proliferation.
*Remind your representatives that they have an obligation to promote and
protect American interests. Waging war against Arab countries
while rewarding Israeli intransigence does not promote our interests in the
Middle East and only works to strengthen the argument that a
U.S./Israeli plan to redevelop the Middle East is being played out.
