Israeli Whistleblowers Against Atomic HolocaustSource : Fax 00-972-9-7413969, 03/02/1998 Threat or Ban?The tension with Iraq and the possible use of mass-destruction weapons raises again the issue of policy concerning mass-destruction weapons : what do we prefer?
Israel is most vulnerable to mass-destruction weapons due to its small size and the fact that most its inhabitants are concentrated in two urban areas around Tel-Aviv and Haifa. If these two areas are hit by such weapons - and there is no way to prevent this absolutely - hundreds of thousand will be hit. No Israeli retaliation -whatever damage it inflicts on the other side - will help the hundreds of thousand hit in Israel. Israel can make a positive contribution to solve the present crisis and to defuse the Middle-East from mass-destruction weapons by declaring its support for a ban on the construction and hoarding of mass-destruction weapons in every state in the region. This will make the task of implementing such a policy easier.
