CFL ALERT: STOP IGNORING ISRAELS ARSENAL OF WMDS
TALKING POINTS
*The International Atomic Energy Agency and its Director, Mohammed Elbaradei have just been jointly awarded the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for their drive to curb the spread of atomic weapons. Mohammed Elbaradei has repeatedly called for a nuclear-free Mideast which would include Israel supporting the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Elbaradei has stated in the past that he does not have the power to pressure the Israeli government on the nuclear issue, but that he hoped Israel would open up its atomic sites to international inspections. Elbaradei has repeatedly condemned the imbalance of the region with Israel sitting on nuclear weapons and everybody else trying to stick to the nonproliferation Treaty. He has also raised the idea of the IAEA sending inspectors to monitor Israel's nuclear activities, something that Israel says it will not permit to happen.
*Remind your representatives that they supported the war against Iraq despite the fact that there was no concrete evidence that Saddam had a weapons program; but that Washingtons policy has been to repeatedly prevent any discussion of Israel's nuclear weapons at the UN. Tell your representatives that these racist double standards do nothing to stem anti-American sentiments in the world and that they only affirm that Washington has one set of standards for Israelis and another for Muslims and Arabs.
*Ask your elected officials to support legislation that would call for an investigation of Israelis nuclear arsenal and for immediate sanctions against Israel for its repeated flouting of international law and U.N. resolutions. Ask your representatives to invite Dr. Mordechai Vanunu to testify before the Senate. Mordechai Vanunu is a former Israeli nuclear technician, who was released from prison last year after completing an 18-year sentence in Israel's Ashkelon Prison, for blowing the whistle on Israels secret nuclear weapons program. He was kidnapped by Israeli agents on September 30, 1986, and spent more than 11 years in solitary confinement
*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.
