COMMENT | Lately, we’ve been hearing louder talk that the Zionist regime of Israel and the United States are planning to attack Iran. Their excuse? To stop Iran from supposedly building nuclear weapons.
But here’s a simple question. Why is Iran being threatened while Israel is quietly allowed to keep and build hundreds of nuclear bombs? Where’s the fairness in that?
Everyone knows Israel is the only country in West Asia that has nuclear weapons. They never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), yet the West just looks the other way. No inspections. No sanctions. No pressure.
Experts believe Israel has at least 200 nuclear warheads, mostly built with help from France and protected in silence by allies like the US and the United Kingdom.
Iran, on the other hand, did sign the NPT. The country has said many times that its nuclear programme is for peaceful use, like generating energy and treating diseases. But still, the West continues to pressure, threaten, and punish Iran.
So again, why the double standard?
All about power, politics
Let’s be honest. This is not really about stopping nuclear weapons. It is about power and politics.
The US and its friends do not want Iran to grow stronger or more independent. A strong Iran would shift the balance in West Asia, and that is what really worries them.
If Iran truly wanted to attack others, it had plenty of chances. But it has not. Even when its scientists were murdered and nuclear sites sabotaged, allegedly by Israel, Iran showed restraint. They followed the rules more than most.
Can we blame Iran for wanting to defend itself? The country is surrounded by examples of what happens when you are weak.
Just look at Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan. They were invaded in the name of democracy and human rights, but today they are in ruins. Iran does not want to be the next victim.
At the same time, there is some hope. Iran and the US have quietly restarted talks behind the scenes. Diplomats from both sides are trying to reduce tension and avoid conflict.
These discussions may not be on the front page, but they show that peace is still possible if both sides are serious.
Rules for all, not for some
However, if Israel or America goes ahead and attacks Iran, it will not be a simple war.
Iran may not have nuclear bombs, but it has allies, technology and the will to fight back. Any attack could lead to a much bigger war, possibly involving other powerful countries.
That is why this issue is bigger than just Iran. It is about fairness, truth and peace.
If the world really wants to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, the rules must be the same for everyone. Not just for countries the West approves of.
Malaysia has always stood for justice and peace. We believe Iran, like any country, has the right to develop nuclear energy for its own use, as long as it is done openly and for peaceful reasons.
But it is clearly unfair when Israel is allowed to build bombs while others are punished just for trying to protect themselves. If the world truly wants peace, then the same rules must apply to all.
Malaysia supports honest diplomacy, not war. We want to see a West Asia that is free from threats, double standards and foreign bullying.
The real danger is not Iran’s nuclear programme. The real danger is the hypocrisy that allows one country to arm itself heavily while another is attacked just for standing its ground.
Until we fix that, the world will never be safe.
MAHATHIR MOHD RAIS is former Federal Territories Bersatu and Perikatan Nasional secretary.
Israel has never, ever threatened another nation with nuclear weapons.
ReplyDeleteIran , on the other hand, has a declared policy objective for the destruction of Israel, in addition to armed destabilizing covert operations in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, threats in Saudi, Jordan.
A nuclear armed Iran would be a nightmare, and absolutely must not be allowed to proceed.
In the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Arab forces were overwhelming Israeli forces and Prime Minister Golda Meir authorized a nuclear alert and ordered 13 atomic bombs be readied for use by missiles and aircraft.
DeleteHa3....and the Ishmaels fell for it....
DeleteMana Ada evidence ?
DeleteOoop… u mfers didn't know that's how the zionist state had nuclear bombs in stock been made know to the whole world.
DeleteThose bombs were the close cooperation between the Yank & the zionist state, with the pommie as the sidekick!
Evidence?
Mfer, check Golda Meir Autobiography lay.
I have a copy of Golda Meir's biography, bought many years ago. No such mention of nukes.
DeleteOnce again, Mana Ada Evidence ?
mfer, check her passages about the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
DeleteOooop… perhaps u have a bastardized (sanitized) copy for those outsiders from the zionist state.
Caught the CCP Wumao moron lying again, as usual
DeleteWhy can Ishmaels have 50 countries but Isaacs not even ONE?
ReplyDeleteBcoz the zionist state in Palestine is an abomination created out from pommie's geopolitical play, with a touch of overblown bleeding-hearted responses caused by the holocaust.
DeleteHari Ini Dalam Sejarah:
DeleteAfter WW1 and WW2 many empires were dismantled, some quickly by the late 40s, others more slowly (50s, 60s). Brittania, Ottoman, Frenchie, Dutch, Italian, German, Austria-Hungary, Spanish, Portuguese, Yapanese empires eventually all disappeared.
All countries in the ME and North Africa were carved out of the Ottoman Empire, and virtually all were given to Ishmaels (20 or more countries). Only ONE was carved up for Isaacs, the size of tiny Perak, but even then the Ishmaels protes. Tak Boleh.
Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaya (ex-Brittania)......given to Ishamels
Yindonesia.....(ex-Dutch East Indies)...given to Ishmaels
Egypt, Saudi, Lebanon, Syria, Trans Jordan, Emirates, Oman, Yemen, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Libya, Sydan, Somalia, Aigeria, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia...aiyah too many to count. All CREATED and given to Ishmaels. No Issue, no problem. So why can't Isaac have Just ONE, a tiny ONE?
After WWs, as boundaries were drawn or redrawn, hundreds of millions of refugees were created overnight. But almost all were eventually resettled, after much suffering and pain no doubt. Almost all MOVED ON and their descendants are happy today, except the Eternal Spesial Refugees managed by UNRWA, who after 80 years still refuse to accept the new boundary drawn for them in 1948. Still want to fight because they are Useful Idiots used by people who do not want Isaacs to have just ONE homeland.
Can an Austrian living in Vienna today claim Right of Return and go back to Krakow Poland (ex-Austria-Hungary Empire) to reclaim what used to be his grandfather's cobbler business?
Ishmael's objective is not for a Palestinian State; it is to deny Isaacs ONE. Even a Two-State solution will not stop the fighting because this means Isaac will have ONE, tak boleh tahan.
Egypt exists since time immemorial. And what nonsense in giving Indonesia and Malaysia to Muslims?
DeleteNo entity as Israel had existed for more than 2000 years, the way it was for Babylon, Mesopotamia etc, Balfour the Pom was the mischievous creator of Israel, just to rid shailoks so as to attain their Pommie Whiteness in the British Isles
Egypt's boundaries changed from before WW1 till after WW2, creating many refugees in the process. Eg with Sudan, see next comment.
DeleteFrom 1910 to 1950, Egypt's borders underwent a significant shift due to the changing political landscape and the rise of nationalism. While the core territory remained relatively stable, the relationship between Egypt and Sudan, under British control, and the status of Egypt's southern border remained contentious.
Here's a more detailed look:
1910-1922: British Protectorate:
Egypt was under British rule as a protectorate, with the British controlling its foreign policy and military.
1922-1936: Nominal Independence:
Egypt achieved nominal independence as a constitutional monarchy in 1922, but British military presence and control persisted.
Anglo-Egyptian Sudan:
Sudan was ruled jointly by Britain and Egypt as the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, with Egypt having administrative control but not full sovereignty.
1936-1952: Continued British Influence:
The British continued to exert influence in Egyptian affairs, particularly regarding the Suez Canal and military bases.
1952 Revolution:
The 1952 revolution led to the establishment of a republic and the eventual withdrawal of British forces in 1956, solidifying Egypt's sovereignty over its territory.
Sudan's Independence:
The Sudanese gained full independence from Britain and Egypt in 1956, creating the modern border between the two countries.
Gaza Strip:
In 1958, Egypt joined with the Republic of Syria to form the United Arab Republic, and Egypt also annexed the Gaza Strip, a territory under the All-Palestine Government, according to Wikipedia.
Yes, many refugees were created due to the changing borders between Egypt and Sudan during and after World War I and World War II.
DeleteWorld War I:
The war and the subsequent collapse of empires created ethnic, political, and religious refugees.
Post-WWI:
The Egyptian revolution of 1919 and the declaration of Egyptian independence in 1922 led to demands for Egyptian authority over Sudan, creating tensions and further displacements.
World War II:
The war, particularly the ongoing conflicts in the region, contributed to a climate of instability and displacement.
Post-WWII:
The establishment of South Sudan as a new country in 2011, followed by conflict in 2013, led to further displacement and a refugee crisis.
Sudanese Civil War:
More recently the Second Sudanese Civil War (which ended in 2005) resulted in a large-scale displacement of Sudanese citizens, with many fleeing to Egypt as refugees.
Egypt-Sudan Border Issues:
The Halayeb Triangle, a disputed area between Egypt and Sudan, also contributes to border-related tensions and potentially displacement.
Sudanese refugee numbers are 10X or more than Palestinians. But the world forget all about Sudan. It's only Gaza Gaza Gaza, West Bank West Bank West Bank. Because in Sudan it's Ishmaels killing Ishmaels, and no Isaacs involved, so no issue.
Malaysia and Indonesia are both full (& founding) members of Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC), in 1969.
DeleteAnd Guess who was the FIRST Secretary General of the OIC? It wasn't Toonise ha3.
Balfour, Sykes, Picot were all involved in the creation of many ME countries today, not just Palestine/Isaac but also Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon etc. All (except for Palestine which was delayed) accepted their new countries and borders. Later in 1948 the Isaacs living in Palestine accepted the UN partition. But the Arabs living in Palestine did not accept and started a war. Still fighting today.
DeleteNo entity as Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq or Saudi Arabia had existed as countries for 2000 years. All were created after the wars. That's normal. For many years Poland didn't exist either, neither did Pakistan or Turkey. And for those that did, their borders changed.
DeleteThis zionist mfer is lying to the tip of its tongue.
DeleteAfter the fall of Ottoman empire, many countries were spindered off by the various colonists, key of which was that of pommieland who could will big political influences over those splinter & insignificant paltry states of ex Ottoman empire.
During that time, the geopolitical boundaries of ME had already been established.
Yet, the pommie mfering politikus of one Belfour, who as foreign secretary in the Lloyd George ministry, issued the Balfour Declaration of 1917, a letter to Lord Rothschild (known shylock pommie aristocrat) , which supported a "home for the Jewish people" in Palestine.
That declaration was purely a forced-down-your-throat arm-twisting notice to the ignorant Arab nations within the land of Palestine.
That late-comer zionist state was a solution those Europe rejected zionists that NO ANY OTHER European states were willing to accommodate!
So, mfer, WHY should those Arab nations accept an abominate foreign rejected entity as their closed neighbor? W/O their prior notice & consent, TOO.
Why can Ishmaels perform their pilgrimage in the Holy Sites in Peace but not Isaacs who have to Bawl and Wail on the West Wall outside and the Ishmaels won't let them in?
ReplyDeleteIsaacs who have to Bawl and Wail on the West Wall outside ??? What "won't let them in"??? Into where??? a wall??? Just blardy stone worshippers
DeleteThe Holy of Holies Kuil for the Isaacs is now managed by Ishmael Wakaf, and entrance is strictly restricted for non-Ishmaels.
DeleteIshmael Waqf: This Jordanian-appointed religious trust is responsible for the management and maintenance of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which includes the Dome of the Rock, and the overall day-to-day operations of the site.
Q: Do they worship a Rock?
Isaacs pray at the Western Wall because it is the holiest site in Isaac-ism that they are permitted to visit and pray at outside of the Kuil on The Mount. It is a remnant of the Second Kuil and the place where the Holy of Holies, the most sacred area of the Kuil, once stood. The Western Wall is a site of prayer and pilgrimage for Isaacs, a place where they can connect with their faith and lament the destruction of the Kuil, as well as pray for its future restoration.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Proximity to the Kuil:
The Western Wall is part of the retaining wall of the Kuil on The Mount, the elevated area where the ancient Isaac Temples once stood.
Kuil on The Mount Restrictions:
Isaacs are not allowed to enter the Kuil Mount, so the Western Wall is the closest they can get to the sacred site where the Kuil was located. Kesian.
Divine Presence:
Isaac tradition holds that the Divine Presence (Shekhinah) resides in the Western Wall.
Lament and Prayer:
Isaacs come to the Western Wall to mourn the destruction of the Kuil, pray for its future restoration, and express their faith.
Place of Pilgrimage:
The Western Wall is a major pilgrimage site, visited by Isaacs from around the world.
Give the Isaacs their Holy of Holies Kuil on The Mount, just like the Ishamels have their Holy Sites in their Holy Land, in a few days 2 million including Nurul and hubby will perform their Pilgrimage, I sapot. Hindus have so many, like Varanasi, Ganges, Buddhists too the Bo tree, Catholics have the Vatican, Lourdes, atheists have Tiananmen Square....why can't Isaacs have Just ONE? This is basic Human Right.
what Holy of Holies Kuil for shailoks? you mean that synagogue in Poland? TodAY THOSE SHAILOKS PRAY TO STONES
DeleteYou mean this one?

Ishmael Waqf is responsible for the management and maintenance of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. Contradictory to all zionist claims, that site HAS no conclusive archeological evidences pointing to the existence of the remains of the 2nd temple!
DeleteIsaacs claim the Western Wall as the holiest site in Isaac-ism. This claimed remnant of the Second Kuil and the place where the Holy of Holies, the most sacred area of the Kuil, once stood. The Western Wall is a site of prayer and pilgrimage for Isaacs, a place where they can connect with their faith and lament the destruction of the Kuil, as well as pray for its future restoration.
Mfer, these r all zionists farts that have NO conclusive evidences to prove their zionism origin except those fabled religious texts. The zionists have turned those ancient Canaanite remains as their solid claims of the land. Otherwise, they r just NOBODY - no bloodline to the ancient Canaanite tribes who roamed the region.
BTW, the holy of the holies was a restricted area where only selected high priests known whats inside. Since no props description about this hole, thus the zionists could create anything out of their fancies to justify whatever they wanted to claim. So so convenient, these zionist mfer should revisit the biblical story about how Jesus almost ransacked the temple when seeing the entrance of the holy of the holies.
mfer, haven't u farted about the sacred & religious sanctity of one's belief?
DeleteDouble jeopardy for a split-tongued mfer … wakakakaka

But there was no poop or peep by anyone.
If the Knesset were to debate a similar bill on Iran there would surely be mass protes in Harvard and Columbia and the streets of Londontown.
So this is why Ishmael cannot have nukes. Because they have stated very clearly their intent to commit Genocide. So you think they should have nukes? Isaac has said no such thing.
Israel doe NOT require nukes to commit genocide; just Wankee arms
DeleteNo poop or peep by anyone about the Knesset's debate on a similar bill on Iran.
DeleteOnly if the news has been broadcasted like that Iranian bill to the world, there would surely be mass protes in Harvard and Columbia and the streets of Londontown.
