How many activist groups are there? NONE,
and where is the Arab media calling for the de-nuclearisation of Israel?
Israel has over 300 nuclear warheads, and has the gall to ask Iran to give up hers, with the pretext that Israel does not threaten nations.

The issue of continuing and expanding Jewish settlements came back to haunt the Palestinian leadership that negotiated Oslo and continued to negotiate with Israel for the last 16 years while Israeli continued to build and expand its settlements, not to mention building the Apartheid Wall.
Now 16 years later finally the Palestinian leadership discovered there is a problem with the Jewish settlements. One has to wonder why did Arafat continued to negotiate with Israel while Israeli continued wi…
