    Haifa Conference on Nuclear Weapons merits our Attention



    Letter: Haifa conference on nuclear weapons merits our attention

    December 05, 2013 8:45 am


    There has been much media attention on the recent nuclear agreement between the international community and Iran. Though the deal was harshly condemned by Israel, much of the world sees it as a welcomed achievement — lessening the chances of a regional war by steering Iran away from developing nuclear weapons.
    Meanwhile (today and Friday), a “Conference For A Middle East Free of Nuclear Weapons And Other Weapons Of Mass Destruction” is being hosted in Haifa, Israel, by a wide range of activists, civil society organizations, political groups and well-known Israeli political figures and Israeli academics.
    Impetus for this conference was a U.N. General Assembly resolution in May 2010 calling for a conference in Helsinki to promote the creation of a nuclear free zone in the Middle East.
    This would entail all countries of the region, including Israel, signing onto the Non-Proliferation Treaty and the treaty on banning chemical weapons. But Israel — not Iran — decided to boycott the Helsinki conference, and consequently the conference was cancelled.
    Those organizing the Haifa conference believe the security of Israel and stability of the region will not be met by the stockpiling of nuclear bombs and WMDs, and not by disastrous wars but rather by disarmament and just peace. Because Israel would not come to the Helsinki conference, they are bringing it to Israel.
    Will this historic meeting get its due attention from the media? Probably not, because the topic of Israel’s stockpile of nuclear weapons will surely be addressed front and center.
