Israeli Nukes
Has the world forgotten the revelations made by Mordechai
Vanunu, a former Israeli Nuclear Technician, in late 1986?
Israel's nuclear program began in 1950's through the
collaboration of French government with Israel (David Ben Gurion
and Shimon Peres) to set up a Nuclear reactor and associated
facilities in the Negev Desert, proclaimed in the beginning as a
textile factory.
But the U-2 Spy Plane photographs unraveled this mystery, for
which some people believe John F. Kennedy lost his life, because
he was about to disclose the real nature of this facility as
determined from those aerial photographs. Later for many years
Israel would not even allow any American government official to
visit that place. But Vanunu before leaving that place had taken
photographs of forbidden areas that the British authorities
conformed as genuine pictures and estimated around that time
that Israel had more than two hundred nuclear warheads and some
were thermo-nuclear devices (aka hydrogen bombs).
Here are important dates in Israel's Nuclear Program:
1949: Visit to Israel of French nuclear scientist Francis
Perrin. Israel discovers uranium in the Negev desert.
1952: Creation of the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC)
under the authority of Defense Ministry. Development of
Dostrovsky method for production of Heavy water.
1953: Department of Nuclear Physics established at the Weizmann
Institute. French-Israeli nuclear cooperation agreement.
1955: First discussion of nuclear cooperation with South Africa.
Start of U.S.-Israeli nuclear cooperation.
1957: Secret agreement with France to build Dimona reactor
(initially dubbed as textile factory) and plutonium separation
plant.
1958: Department of Nuclear Science established at the Israel
Institute of Technology (Technion).
1960: Research reactor at Nahal Soreq goes on line. Ben Gurion
tells Kenesset about the Dimona reactor. 1963: Dimona reactor
goes on line. Regular shipments of uranium from South Africa
begin.
1966: Levi Wshkol reorganizes Israel Atomic Energy Commission,
Bergmann resigs as Chairman. Eshkol cuts a deal with President
Johnson and freezes Israeli unclear program. Israeli nuclear
test in Negev.
1967: Degaulle severs ties with Israel. Moshe Dayan launches
plans to accelerate Israel's nuclear program. 1968: Cabinet
capitulates to Dayan's nuclear agenda. CIA suspects Israel of
having nuclear weapons.
1972: Technological breakthroughs made in uranium enrichment
(laser method).
1973: Golda Meier gives the order to arm nuclear warheads during
Yom Kippur War.
1976: South African President Vorster visits Israel; new nuclear
agreement forged.
1977: Israeli-South African test in in Kalahari desert detected
by Soviet satellite and blocked by U.S. intervention.
1979: Israeli-South African test off South Africa coast. VELA
satellite (U.S.) records the explosion signature.
1982: President Reagan sells advanced computers to Iraq.

It's not only that Israel has a large stockpile of nuclear
weapons, but she also possesses a large stockpile of Chemical
and Biological weapons. Thus all PEACE-LOVING people must stress
upon the United Nations Weapons Inspection regime that all
efforts should be made to send inspectors to Israel as she poses
the greatest threat to PEACE not only to the Middle East but the
entire world.
Why should the West be partial in this regards to disarm Iraq
only and not a state like Israel?
