Why Israel is not among multiple countries of the world which joined the UN Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty?

Question

The list is available on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Non-Proliferation_Treaty

I put this question to the part on spirituality, because I believe that it has more to do with respect of societies to environment, nature, humanity than with a small circle of politicians.

For RandyGE: that has nothing to do with: I give you, you me. It reflects values very much.

Exactly because of the fact that Iran signed the Treaty, it has to deal with international community about compliance...

It is funny to read that Israel is not nuclear state. Do you count things it receives from USA alone? Some technologies passed to China even.

"schoelace" realtes that with "small" nation. But many much smaller and much more threatened nations are on this Treaty...E.g. Lebanon..., many African coutries, etc.

Answer 1

Because it,s an offensive country ,this Treaty may prevent it to make use of nuclear weapons.

Answer 2

It's got nothing to do with spirituality or the environment. It's because of their military doctrine. It's a small country with a relatively small population who's fought at least three full-scale war within the past 50+ years. Since they do not have the territory or the human resources to sustain a long drawn-out war, their military doctrine is to prevent a full-scale war at all cost. The only effective war deterrent are nuclear weapons. Israelis knew that they had to develop nuclear weapons or be destroyed. As a result, they had no intention of participating in the treaty. Survival in this case took precedent over the common good.

Answer 3

Signing the treaty has no longer prevented the fashion of non-civilian nuclear ability - Iraq grew to grow to be precise right into a signatory to the NPT at an identical time because it progressed its protection stress nuclear utility which grew to grow to be into have been given right here for the duration of in 1991 contained interior the 1st Gulf conflict against Iraq. Iran is a signatory and in accordance to optimal analysts, is bobbing up nuclear weapons or a minimum of hiding nuclear progression events. The question is what's better sensible, a u . s . that alerts the treaty (Iran. Iraq) and then works to undermine that's premises, or a u . s . that refuses to sign the treaty through actuality it extremely is unwilling to subject itself to inspections with the point to maintain that's status of undeclared nuclear ability, for in spite of reason. i've got have been given self assurance Israel's modern-day status does no longer serve the country right through actuality the only ingredient that nuclear weapons are meant to do is reason deterrence. as long as they are undeclared, they gained't be waiting to do this reliably and as a consequence their deterrent consequence's in question. If Israel owes as much as that's nuclear ability and alerts the treaty, a proliferation administration regime contained interior the middle East ought to right be accomplished plenty better obtainable. the subject is that Israel is a tiny us of a and nuclear weapons extremely are an existential probability to it, as a consequence Israel's place is fairly emotional and it will take till now the situation improves. the U. S. would desire to help by offering a nuclear umbrella through fact it has comprehensive interior the path of Japan.

Answer 4

Because America owns the UN and controls it, and Israel owns the US and controls it, hence Israel owns the UN and controls it.
The other not very will known fact is that the horrible eradicated human disease (Smallpox) is only available today in the arsenal of two countries as a secret biological weapon of mass destruction and I guess every body knows who are those two countries (America and Israel) that endanger the whole world by keeping a reserve of this horrible fatal disease. They have no ethics and no limits of madness; they represent the ugly face of the 21 century civilization of corruption and destruction. Compare to the ethics of war in Islam when it had the highest hand.

Answer 5

Israel doesn't involve itself with much in the nature of World Politics. Keep in mind that Israel until 1967 wasn't even recognized as soverign. While Middle Eastern countries (and others) acknowledge Israels established international borders, they do not acknowledge their statehood (or them as an established country....or at least one deserving of recognition).

Israel, as an ally of the United States, was supported in developing defensive tactical nuclear capability. (Note the use of the term defensive.......) There is no such thing as defensive anything, except in that it is fired after someone else has attacked (and it doesn't have to be retalitory to a nuclear attack.)

Israel could easily launch nukes into neighboring countries making them true aggressors. Right now, they are using conventional weapons to take care of people attacking them. A very offensive defense, but it's proving to be effective.

Answer 6

Because. When has the UN ever done anything effective in large circumstances? Rarely, if ever. When has the UN ever doen anything good for Israel? Almost nothing since 1948.

Answer 7

Officially, Israel doesn't have nukes. Of course, unofficially, everyone knows that they do. So they can't sign a document that officially denies them what they already have. They aren't as hypocritical as their neighbors who SAY they love their brothers and sisters. Aren't they ALL Children of Abraham?????

Answer 8

Isreal the nation has NO nuclear arms or power systems; a moot point

Answer 9

If Israel didn't have nukes they would be toast. Most mideast governments want to see Israel distroyed. I would say you can trust Israel with nukes. I don't think you can trust many other governments with nukes, especially those who look forward to destroying Israel.

Answer 10

You would have to ask our government. And you would have to ask Israel. I would think anyone else who isn't privy to government documents on that issue or who are within the UNNNPT, would only have speculations.
