Israel's nuclear monopoly over all Arabs

[CANAAN51USA - Alfred De Grazia]

Israel's nuclear monopoly over all Arabs

I incline to agree with israel Shahack's declaration here, quoted from
his Open Secrets, p. 153.

"The idea of a ‘regional alliance system' implies the exclusion of the
US from it and Israel's supremacy within it, backed by the latter's
nuclear monopoly. Its avowed goal ‘to secure peace in the region'
ressembled all too closely similar claims of the imperial powers of
the past, made for the consumtion of the gullible. This is why Peres'
plan can be viewed as an extreme version of Israeli imperialism. The
nature of the relations between Israel and other states of the
‘regional alliance system' is described in another article by Aluf Ben
(Haaretz, 11 February 1994.) Ben quotes the first director of the
Israeli Institute for Development of Weaponry [RAFAEL] Munya Mardoch,
that ‘the moral and political meaning of nuclear weapons is that
states which renounce their use are acquiescing to the status of
vassal states. All those states which feel satisfied with possessing
conventional weapons alone are fated to become vassal states.' A
transparent implication of that view is that by insisting on its
nuclear monopoly, Israel aims at reducing all other Middle eastern
states to the status of its vassals, probably hoping for approval of
such a state of affairs by the US.

Apart from the question of whether all existing Arab regimes would
want to join ‘an alliance' so transparently stewarded by Israel, one
can also ask about the survivability of any Arab regime joining that
‘alliance.' I feel unable to answer this question: whether the US
would be pleased by a unification of the Middle East under Israel's
command - it could then influence this unified region only via its
influence on Israel. Let me recall that through such unification,
entailing an Israeli hegemony, Israel's financial dependence on the US
and thereby the US's chances to influence Israel would be diminished.
It seems also doubtful whether the US (or indeed Europe) would be
pleased with the abolition of ‘economic competition' between states
under ‘an alliance system' powerful enough to accomplish it. This is
why Peres' plan can only be interpreted as assuming that Israeli
influence upon the US, exerted through the medium of organized
American Jews, is sufficient to outweigh US imperial interests. As I
mentioned above, I do recognize the power of organized American Jews
as quite formidable. But contrary to some Hebrew press commentators, I
don't believe that it is sufficient to justify that tacit assumption
of Peres. The organized American Jewish community may, as Oren hopes,
succeed in protecting the independance of Israeli nuclear policies but
I doubt if they are capable of accomplishing much more..."
