BBC News - Q&A: Iran nuclear issue

BBC News - Q&A: Iran nuclear issue: "The Iranian nation is wise. It won't build two atomic bombs while you have 20,000 warheads."

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who is reported to have issued a fatwa some time ago against nuclear weapons, has said: "We fundamentally reject nuclear weapons."

How soon could Iran make a nuclear bomb?

This would depend on Iran taking the decision to make a nuclear device and Iran says it will not do so. But experts believe that technically it could produce enough highly enriched uranium for a bomb within a few months"

The silence is killing Pollard | Tzvi Fishman | Ops & Blogs | The Times of Israel: "American Jews keep silent regarding Jonathan Pollard, praying that the Americans won’t notice them and remember that they don’t belong in America at all.

They keep quiet, even though a true Jewish hero may be dying, terrified that if they raise their voices too loudly, the Americans may remember that the Jews of the United States are really once-upon-a-time Israelis who were expelled from their own Jewish land long ago.

The silence is killing Pollard | Tzvi Fishman | Ops & Blogs | The Times of Israel: "has served nearly 30 years of a life sentence (a sentence unheard of for handing over secrets to an ally); even if he never received an honest trial; even if his health is in grave danger; even if the government of Israel has requested his pardon — none of this matters to American Jews. Why?

Because American Jews are terrified of seeming to be un-American.

They are terrified of making waves, lest they appear “too Jewish,” and thus make the real Americans take notice of them and remember that Jews are not real Americans at all, but rather strangers with America passports."
