Super Chutzpah! Israel's Shimon Perez is Against Nuclear Weapons………

“JERUSALEM (AFP) – Israeli President Shimon Peres on Wednesday told the visiting head of the UN's atomic watchdog that his organization must respond with "severity" to Iran's nuclear ambitions and its threats against the Jewish state. Greeting Yukiya Amano on his first visit to Israel since becoming head of the International Atomic Energy Agency last December, Peres praised changes the new chief had made to the institution and took a thinly-veiled swipe at his predecessor, Mohamed ElBaradei……"The IAEA should treat them with the required severity," added Peres, who is considered to be the father of Israel's own nuclear programme…...”

He sure has a lot of chutzpah, for leader of a country that refuses to sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and keeps its nuclear program and many warheads more secret than North Korea does. He may be the father of the Israeli nuclear program, but he talked there like a true “motha”.
Amano there also listened as if he were listening to his mother, at least publicly.
Cheers
