This is the most obscene proposal that I have ever heard . Bringing in a blood soaked nation, conceived in the terrorist acts of the Haganah, Irgun, Stern Gang and others, guilty of the most atrocious crimes against humanity in their policies of ethnic cleansing and apartheid against the Palestinians. A country guilty of the most evil acts of aggression against Lebanon, Gaza and other neighbours and the use of munitions, banned under international treaty. Israel, in occupation of Palestinian lands since 1967, continues to build settlement in defiance of all international opinion and destroys Palestinian homes, farms and what little infrastructure still remains. Israel is the nuclear armed menace in the Middle East and deserves no place in any civilised organisation. Having said that however, I have little time for NATO, as I consider it to be an American inspired and dominated organisation, created as a threat to the former Soviet Union of the 1950's and 60's, and to expand American influence with a scant facade of international credibility. However, to admit Israel into this organisation, would be to invite hostility from the rest of the world, and would demonstrate an hypocrisy unparalleled in history. Ironically, perhaps admission of Israel would in itself, bring about the disintegration of NATO, as any self respecting member country could not possibly condone such a despicable country being admitted. The people of many NATO member countries would I believe, be incensed by such a move. Israel deserves international isolation rather than tacit approval of it's evil regimes.
Yehuda Lukacs suggests admitting Israel as a member of NATO, protected by the "one-for-all, all-for-one" policy of the 28-member alliance.
