I most definitely do not agree with Adam Kokesh here when he states that Israel is right in saying that if no one (read 'the US') puts a red line for Iran, no one has a right to question or place a red line for Israel. It may have been fair of Netanyahu's part to put up this condition if it was abiding by any of the laws applicable to countries internationally. Israel has never "allowed" the IAEA or any other international agency to survey its military premises despite absolute information available through whistleblowers about existence of Israel's facility at Dimona which is a full fledged nuclear facility manufacturing weapons grade equipment. There are detailed pictures available all over the internet of this facility and the IAEA has made many unsuccessful attempts to gain access to the facility for inspection but, Israel has never allowed it.

Israel has been committing heinous crimes and violating all international laws since almost six decades. No international agency has ever question it about any of these despite tens of thousands of Palestinians having killed in cold blood in this period. 

Israel has obliterated basic survival of Palestinians in their own land by forcible occupying their territory and going to the extent of obstructing Palestinian water supply and sewage facility. Almost every day they have bombarded hospitals that treat the wounded that got caught in the mad and erratic firing of IDF. Has anyone demanded an explanation from Israel for any of this. Nope.

And, this is not even 1/10th of Israel's criminal activities. When Israel has not conceded to international norms, how on earth can anyone suggest that by asking for Iran to be restrained, it is only being fair? Iran has never attacked anyone and their uranium enrichment, as acknowledged by IAEA as well, is not aimed at weapons manufacturing. However can we say the same for Israel? Nope. 

Israel is a threat to the entire world and whatever little hope there may be of coexistence and it's high time it is either cleaned up or cleared up!!
