IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei called Israel the “number one threat to the Middle East” because of its nuclear capabilities, during a meeting with Iran President Ahmadinejad Sunday.
“Israel is the number one threat to the Middle East given the nuclear arms it possesses,” ElBaradei was quoted by Iran’s official news agency IRNA as saying.
While the quote was picked up by several international news agencies and even bloggers, it was left out of mainstream news reports, including The New York Times.
ElBaradei went on to say that Israel has not been cooperative with the IAEA for three decades, whereas Iran has agreed to allow inspectors to visit a new uranium enrichment plant and other facilities on October 25.
The IAEA Director did say he had “concerns about Iran’s future intentions,” and while at a “critical moment” in relations with the Islamic Republic, he does “see that we are shifting from confrontation into transparency and cooperation.”
Agency inspectors are concerned that a month is sufficient time for Iran to remove some of the equipment. “The longer you wait, the less you learn,” a senior European official familiar with inspections said last week.

I hope Israel takes military action but it sucks because they can’t rely on our President to help them. I was discusted at Obama refurring to Israel as the Occupationers of Palestine instead of them as ISRAEL. I usually only hear that kind of rhetoric from the countries that want Israel destroyed.
Right on Fishonjohnson! And hopw very astute of this writer to acknowledge that Iran will have plenty of time to hide or move it’s “equipment.” As you don’t really expect Ahmadinejad is going to be swayed at this late date when he is so very near to his dream of bringing in his Mahdi along with world war 3, do you?
I hate when I misspell–sorry!
Mohamed ElBaradei says that Israel is the “number one threat to the Middle East”. Well, what else would you expect from a muslim?
All of Israel’s enemies will be destroyed by the Hand of the Lord and the events that lead to their destruction are fast coming into place as I write this.
if you nuts think that nuclear weapons are so bad. then why don’t you think that the other country that has them ( israel) should get rid of theirs. i guess you think that they are bad only if the other side has them.
citizen B. It’s really sad that an ally such as israel, given the attrosities they have lived, has to be even considered as the bad guy, is disgusting. Obama, along with all the other puppets will wait till it’s too late to compromise, and then say, well we didn’t want to offend the terrorist. Well, i’m here to tell you, (*^&*^% the muslims,; death to them all. Oh and please take our so called leaders with you….
Let’s look at the facts: Israel is the only country in the Mideast that has nuclear weapons; Israel has never cooperated with the IAEA or signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty; and Israel is the only country to occupy another country or peoples (Palestinian territories , Golan Heights , and previoiusly parts of Lebanon and Egypt), with the brief exception of Iraq into Kuwait. Iran with all its faults has done none of the above.
Fact is, there’s an uneven balance of power in the Mid East. A nuclear Iran would make the bullshit stop over there.
Isreal won the 6 day war when all of the Middle East attacked them.
Then they gave it all back except for some strtegic areas for their safety.
That is saying a lot when they could have taken all the middle East and made it their own.
Pesident Obama is trying to play the great mediator, but A war is inevitable and everyone knows it.
Muslims still hate Christians from the crusades and dying for that is what is taught to them at birth.
Muslims still want world conquest and domination. and Isreal represents their defeat and humiliation and have focused on that…
Isreal will ultimately take care of business , but if for some crazy reason they all worked together, the middle East could be the ultimate power and move the World closer to real Peace on Earth.
If we all believe in One God then lets all pray to him for one thing….Unity
It can be done
Israel has never threatened to “wipe” a nation off the face of the earth as Dr. Evil has. It was attacked and so, against overwhelming force it needs protection to equal the vast armies of Mohamadanism. As for an “occupation”, why didn’t the F.O. discuss KURDISTAN, which is a nation but is occupied by Syria, Parthia, Turkey? What about their “self determination”? Israel hasn’t used poison gas on the Palestinians as the Sadam did on the Kurds? What? No outrage? Of course not! Even the Arabs are afraid of a nuclear Parthia. They were occupied for HUNDREDS of years by the Parthian bastards. What? You don’t know that? So that’s why you sound so ignorant and stupid! What about the Coptic Christians in Egypt? What? You don’t know about their treatment? Of course a moron like you wouldn’t know that! But don’t worry, with the Mohamadanist Candidate posing as President, your dreams will come true!
Oh, and don’t forget the Ottoman Empire which ruled the whole middle east. Why do you think that you see them wearing the fez in all those old movies. It’s because they ruled by the Ottomans for hundreds of years. Boy, are you a dummy!
And don’t forget the illegal occupation of Cyprus by Turkey. A muslim country, that wants to join the EU but insists that is should still be ‘allowed’ to occupy Cyprus as an EU member state (they said that the occupation should not hinder their EU ascention plans… what a joke). Isreal has the right to defend itself and their territory. Isreal should just take palestine once and for all and get it over with. Then there won’t be anymore problems. As far as i am concerned, Muslims are a problem to our world and all Muslim nations should be wiped out.
Well, what would be expect from an idiot that is probably the worlds biggest dope. I doubt that this guy could even find his butt if he had both hands in his hip pockets. His strongest point is that he is in bed witht the rest of the Muslims around the world and it is without a doubt that he has absolutely no ideas of what he is doing and should be replaced by some on that has something between his ears besides barnyard manure.
“Mohamadanists hate the Christians for the Crusades”? Why do you think that they had the Crusades? Because the Mohamadanists had waged war against Christianity from the day one that Mohamadanism became a “religion”. They were illegally occupying Spain for 300 years at the time and were in Southern Europe and N.Afrika. They keep bullshiting about the “Crusades”, but don’t speak how Christian pilgrams were being killed and enslaved on their way to the Holy Land. The Crusades were also a reaction to these attacks. They were finally kicked out of most of Europe by the year 1783. Over a thousand years! Who the fuck are they kidding with their whining and their enablers like this Mohamadanist Candidate posing as our President! Stop the bullshit now!
Who cares,,, We give MILLIONS of dollars in aide to the counterfeit State of Isreal
and they are the ” worst espionage problem ” we have for American Security.
Having heard the Iranian President speak at Columbia University, New York
amidst all the International Zionist protestors, we learned a lot. Funny how Isreal
will not be open to Nuclear Inspection, but, Iran must ??? It’s a Double standard,,,
