U.S. Slammed for Shutting Its Eyes to Israel's Nuclear Program

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, May 4 (KCNA) -- The whole picture and inside story of Israel's nuclear weaponization has recently been brought to light by Israeli nuclear scientist Banunu. Commenting on this, a news analyst of Rodong Sinmun today says:
    Israel has long pushed forward nuclear armament, but it has never been called into question. It was because the U.S. connived at and defended this and actively cooperated with Israel in its nuclear program.
    The testimonies of Banunu irrefutably prove that Israel is a belligerent state and a terrorist sponsor threatening peace and security in Middle East and other part of the world by systematically developing nuclear weapons and possessing them and the U.S. has all along overlooked and encouraged its nuclear armament and state terrorism for the mere reason that it is its ally.
    The U.S. connivance, patronage and cooperation with regard to Israel's nuclear armament glaringly reveal its unfair and unjustifiable double-faced nature and double standards in the issue of nuclear non-proliferation.
    The height of absurdity of the double standards applied by the U.S. finds its vivid manifestation in its act of taking issue with fictitious enriched uranium of the DPRK.
    If alliance with the U.S. is the yardstick in deciding the stand toward the nuclear weapons, the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty would be a good-for-nothing dead letter and there would be neither need for nor any meaning in it.
    Israel's possession of nuclear weapons is mainly attributable to the U.S. tacit connivance and cooperation. On the contrary, the DPRK's possession of nuclear deterrent is mainly attributable to the nuclear threat posed by the U.S.
    The U.S. double standards whereby it connives at, defends and encourages Israel's nuclear armament while trying to force the DPRK to disarm itself, taking issue with its just measure for building up nuclear deterrent for self-defence, indicate that its double-sidedness and shamelessness have been carried into extremes.
    If the U.S. is truly interested in the settlement of the nuclear issue, it should demand Israel dismantle nuclear weapons and, at the same time, drop its hostile policy to stifle the DPRK. This would be a fair measure and would be beneficial to a solution to the nuclear issue.
