Editor,
Why do we have to care when the “peanut gallery” makes noise? I’m talking about the noise Israel makes when it doesn’t get its way. They’ll stamp their feet and build more illegal settlements on Palestinian land, that’s what they’ll do, so there. The world just might take this tiny nuclear armed state more seriously if it would actually join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as Iran and most of the rest of the planet has done.
Israel joins company with North Korea, Pakistan and India as the non signatories; good company indeed. As Iran gradually complies with the demands of the United Nations Security Council to the satisfaction of the Russians, Chinese, French, etc. the sanctions will go away. I think those same sanctions should start to be applied to the state of Israel until it stops the settlement building and recognizes the state of Palestine on the West Bank and Gaza with its capitol in East Jerusalem.
This is the only way to show our seriousness and get the sorts of results we are now getting from Iran. Rules only work when they are applied to all.
