The Dimona reactor is where Israel's undeclared, nuclear weapons of mass distruction are stored. Dimona has not been inspected by the IAEA.
***
Israel has returned hundred of kilograms of nuclear waste from its nuclear reactor in Nahal Sorek to the U.S., the head of Israel's Nuclear Energy Commission Dr Shaul Horev revealed on Monday.
Speaking at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) ministerial conference on nuclear safety in Vienna, Horev did not specify the exact amount of waste that had been returned, but according to estimates, Israel has sent back at least hundreds of kilograms' of 93% enriched uranium, which was used to power the Sorek reactor.
The operation took place after Israel's Nuclear Energy Commission and the U.S. Department of Energy signed an agreement for the return of the nuclear waste over a year and a half ago. After the agreement was signed, an American ship collected nuclear waste from both Israel and Turkey.
The Sorek research reactor is a small five megawatt facility that was donated to Israel by the U.S. within the framework of former president David Eisenhower's "Atoms for Peace" program. Israel also received 93% enriched uranium to fuel the reactor. The reactor has remained under IAEA supervision for years.

No, dickhead, I was responding to your initial post to me; the rose is a rose comment. Do you remember? This page is about Israel and its alleged dumping of nuclear waste on this country. While I agree this is wrong, I also believe some of the people on this page are using this issue to express their anti-Israel bias. If you don't like it, don't read my posts. also, I am old enough to know and also from the tone of your posts, you are not as smart or wise as you think you are.

Waste necessarily implies something is being wasted.
I envision a Star Trek future where we pathetic humans finally get our collective ass together and actually master all energy forms without any waste.
Fourth generation nuclear plants can run on nuclear waste from old power plants and even bombs for the next thousand years without mining any more uranium.
And it is far safer than mining and burning coal for electricity for many reasons.

The Arabs have been targeting Israel since 1948 and targeting Jews since before that. As for this issue of Nuclear waste, this is a new one to me. My atitude is Israel should keep its own nuclear waste. I say this with full support of the Jewish state against all who want to destroy it. Israel has very few friends in the world. They won't make any more if they are dumping their dangerous trash on other countries.As they say in Yiddish: FEH!!!

Respectfully to you: My opinion: I hate organized religion in general for many reasons I won't bore you with. On the other hand, I believe in live and let live as long as its between consenting adults, doees not abuse animals or the environment. If the woman above feels she has to dress that way and is not trying to shove her religion up all my orifices., I have to respect her. What I didn't like about the picture was someone photoshopped a target on her as if to suggest Israel's dumping her nuclear waste here (which is digusting and should not be allowed) is somehow part of the nazi Jews plan to exterminate all the so-called Philistinians and all the Arabs with them. The fact is, it's the other way around. Re; the nuclear waste, I have to get more details on it. I hope Current will be fair and balanced when it comes to the middle east and doesn't spout out revisionist history. I'd like to also know how many other countries dump their nuclear waste here. I also want to know if the USA dumps its waste in Israel and where else it dumps it. I always get suspicious if Israel is singled out and hope that current isn't like that. By the way, the girl above is very beautiful except for the target.

My image was to portray how muslims are targeted and israel is the cause of all of this . Sure arabs have been targeting israel sine 1948 when there land was taken from them . The US needs to cut off Israel and just see how much balls it still has after that . There is no need for US tax dollars to support israel. Sure we can be allies but giving them money and arms is not in our best interests .
I for one think it was israelis that took down the towers and profited big time from it .
In the gesture of full disclosure I am not muslim .

Ok, Dooder, an appropriate name given the anti-Semitic shit you just posted here. So let's get something clear here. The land of Israel belongs to the Jews. If I wanted to, I could post a long history lesson for you to educate you, but frankly, I don't think you can read or reason, so let me ask you this: Jordan had control of Israel's west bank for 19 years up until June of 1967. In all those 19 years, there was never any mention of a Philistinian people, and Jordan itself could have given over that land to the Philistines but didn't. It was only until Israel was attacked for the third time, the first being 1948 and the second being1956. that they managed to liberate their stolen land and once again have access to the old city.And it was only then that The Philistinian people was mentioned. As long as Jordan had it, no problem and fuck the Philistinians, but when the Jews get their land back, suddenly we have a Phillistinian problem So what do you think of this? Why didn't Jordan give over the Philistinian land to the Philistines when they had the chance? I want to see what kind of bullshit revisionist anti-Semitic history you can come up with.

I am aware of the history in the middle east. I personally just think israel is the little brother that instigates things because they know Big Brother (USA) will not let them get taken out. Its the arrogance of jews like you that keep these wars alive . You speak from your soap box in jew york city while AMERICANS are funding terrorists (iraelis). I think Israel need to be told to take a peaceful position or be cut off . Im sorry but it works both ways . America needs to take care of Americans and stop spending billions on protecting a measly little strip of desert with aggressive and hostile people .

The guy is a real hater...then considering some of my posts, people think I am a hater. I hate to say this (no pun intended) I do actually hate certain groups and opinions. I would like to be less emotional about some of this stuff, but when you see what is going on, it is really scary. To respect you and the rest here, I want to go back on topic: I wrote Rachell Maddow on her blog and asked her about this Israel/Nuclear waste situation. They normally do not respond to emails, but I wondered if somehow they would report on this. So far, not a word. Why would only Current run this story and not MSNBC? Is there an agenda here? I experienced some anti-Semitism in my life, and like I said above, I can smell it 3000 miles away. But again, if this story is true, Israel should not be dumping that shit, in fact I wish we would liberate ourselves from all our toxic energy sources and addictions. And by the way, I bet dooder had an orgasm when I mentioned the hot led enema, an idea I got, by the way, from one of Lenny Bruce's bits. Also, I don't mean to imply any prejudice against gay or any kind of people just so long as they don't hate me. The picture above is a shot from 1984 made in 1984 and shows John Hurt as Winston Smith doing the morning jerks (exercise) in front of the telescreen. This is the kind of world dooder wants.

The Weiner situation has me so very depressed. First of all, I was shocked that he was such an idiot. Then I was even more shocked at the media circus while real important news went unreported. It is like they are using 1984 as a guide book instead of the cautionary tale it was meant to be.
Weiner committed no crime. The judgement was just dreadful but George Bush did far worse things and his resignation was never seriously demanded. Bush is a war criminal and a traitor. Too bad he didn't sext blackjack dealers or get a blow job from an intern. He was just responsible for the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in a personal war for revenge and oil.
I can't eve think about it anymore. It makes me very depressed because Weiner was one of the few bright, shining congress members that almost gave me hope for the future. Now I am just back to waiting for the inevitable collapse of the US government and what is probably going to be a pretty nasty revolution when the increasing hordes of poverty stricken citizens rise.

This is exactly right. I could not have said it better. I believe it is the duty of world leaders to make life better for everyone else on this planet to the exclusion of their own convenience. By the way, did you hear this one? I thought that Pres. Obama was going to announce the end of the war in Afgan. He is merely pulling out the surge troops but keeping the original 70,000 troops there in harm's way. He was talking about our duty to nation build in Afgan. I thought the war was about getting Usama Bin Ladin and fighting the terrorists where ever they may be without getting bogged down in one country. As it stands, by the President's words, we are still going to have troops on the ground by 2014. Now is that bullshit or is it bullshit. I may like this president, but I don't pray to him. When he is wrong, he is wrong, and believe me, my friend, it is time for another anti-war movement. By the way, what is the Jewish version of foreplay? A half hour of begging. And finally, world leaders who fail at the above job responsibllity should be punished just like the above.

As a Jew myself, I have to confess to a bias that I can't shake nor do I necesarrily want to since I have learned from history that an entire people can be wiped off the earth and that other nations will stand by and let it happen. I am always cynical and wary of anything in the media dealing with Israel and what it does. So far, I have heard nothing of a reported dumping by Israel of nuclear waste on the USA.by other news outlets including MSNBC. Why hasn't Keith Olbermann reported on this? Is there some kind of anti-Israel bias afoot at Current?
Now I realize not everyone would think this way, and I am sorry personally for my ethnocentrism, but I have no problem with my ethnic pride nor can I back down in good conscience from a debate about anything having to do with Israel.
However, does this mean that I have the right, in this debate, to call names and otherwise
denigrate other writers on this page? No way, and I have done it too. I also realize that it does nothing to promote my side of the argument, but I flame some people just out of vicious spite because I know that no matter what I say and no matter what Israel does, these people will continue to smear their shit with impunity. If Israel created a cure for cancer, these people would still find something to hate about it, so let me do this. If a Jew found a cure for cancer, these people would still find something to hate about them. I can't help substituting the two words, so I get really annoyed when I read some of the posts. Still, I have no right insulting people or blatantly using a propaganda technique called "name" calling. The truly intelligent person, the person with a keen mind, the person who keeps his or her cool in an argument reframes from using these techniques. We can all get our points across without insulting each other personally.Insulting an individual is just as hurtful in many ways and just as destructive as insulting entire groups of people because such affronts begin between individuals. If we can stop this stuff at the source, maybe we can have a more intelligent but still spirited argument.
I am sure there will never be a dearth of insulting remarks directed against Jews and Israel on these or on any other public forums. I just have to learn to suck it up, go out there and fight angrily, passonately but not throwing a rhetorical tantrum that undermines the very purpose of posting my thoughts. After all, I am not trying to convert anyone. I am just posting my feeling about a current topic. If some one disagrees with my post, they have the right to post their response. I then have to read their response so that I can compose ann intelligent response in return, and on it goes the free exchange of ideas in a democracy called the USA.
I would like to consider myself a progressive liberal, but when it comes to issues about Israel, I suddenly don't sound very liberal. My opinions on this topic may sadly lose me some new virtual friends I have made on these pages, but what can I do? Not state my opinion? No way, and I am sure no way for everyone else. Hey just wait until the new fu-ktilla reaches the Gaza Strip in defiance of Israel's blockade. I am wetting my lips and steaming up my keyboard ready for a good intelligent rhetorical fight. As my great zaide said: Dis Kike is reddy to chhrumble.

in short,to not lead you and be guilty of the very thing im fighting, an antisemitic contingent does exist.it has a home on the left and the right.but the left have intergrated it into the narrative.using israel as the newway to say jew without getting called out for the hate speech that it is, cuz it is cloaked in governmental criticism.
just as any legit criticism not based in personal bias goes,same applies to israel when seeking what is hate speech.
the 3 d's.
delegitimization
dissproportionalism
demonization
if these three elements are the basis of the criticism,it isnt legit.it is cowardly hate speech.in time you will notice some who are obsessed with israel reporting (in this fashion) wich also tells you the true purpose of the articles.thier is an anti-israel bias a foot on the left.not current in particular, but the left in general.and this has given antisemites cover.
hey man your zionism is your deal to negotiate.i do not support you or flaw you for it.do you.
personaly i believe in paramount equality.give what you get.but you are your own man.if name calling is what you feel is called for it is hardly my place to tell you otherwise.not my particular flavor, but who the fuck says im right about such things.
my position is to exceed the level of our enemy.wich isnt too hard as racism is born of ignorance.to sink to their level is a loss to me,when i am offered tempered arguments.i (and jews in general) lose if they sell a position that sounds legit,and i respond with childish emotionaly charged responses.just my view

I really enjoyed reading your post. I understand that hate exists on the left as well as the right, but man I am ashamed to say whom I voted for in the past because when I was younger, I was a one issue voter: Israel.
Now thankfully, I out grew that and now vote for whom I think is best for THIS country, not necessarily best for Israel. After all, I live here, not there. Hence, I voted for Obama, knowing full well he may not be as great for Israel as say McCain would have been. And even after Obama called for Israel to withdrawl to sixty-seven borders with swaps, I did not go wacky and decide not to vote for him again. My atitude, not matter who is president of the US, Israel will do what it must to protect itself, the nations of the world be damned. Besides I would NEVER vote for a Republican. Their platform, except for Israel, is contrary to everything I stand for as a human being, as a Jew, and as an American. (Oh by the way, I identify ethnically as a Jew, but I don't believe in any organized or unorganized religion...religion is one of the banes of our existence).
Again, I am ready to debate the issues on Israel and the so-called Palestinians with the full realization that I am not trying to convert anyone to my point of view.
The good thing about being a liberal is we have our own view points and not some program of views dictated to us by a central authority. While there are some on the left who are anti-Semitic, I generally support the majority of the leftist platform except for Israel. If this makes me less of a liberal in the eyes of these people, I really don't care because each of us defines our positions as we see fit without regard for what others may think of us. I will try, however, when discussing this issue, not to resort to name calling or other inhuman torch techniques.
But again, I want to apologize in advance to you or anyone else about my belief that anyone who is anti-Israel is also anti-Semitic. It comes from my exposure to and my knowledge of Jewish history.
Please be welll and please be safe.

I should clarify one thing: whether someone who criticizes Israel is also anti-Semitic or not depends on the context. What if Obama, Keith Olbermann, or Ed Schultz criticizes Israel? Are they anti-Semitic? Will they be fair and balanced when reporting about the so-called Palestinians? I have to start from the notion that these particular people are not anti-Semitic. At most they can be accused of well meaning but ultimately harmful ignorance of the entire Jewish experience in the same way I would be ignorant of their group's experiences.But regarding these pages, it depends again on context. Someone said heil shitler to me.
Perhaps people purposely post inflamatory stuff just to see if they can get people to react. I should learn to follow the example of our president who keeps his cool no matter what the idiots say about him.

a person can be not an antisemite whilst still saying antisemitic things.that is the greatest threat actualy in this regard.is that the left has become a home of antisemtism that on the surface seems like legitimate israeli ciriticism.it doesnt make those who believe it antisemtic, as they arent looking for it.they think it is legit news.
as an example, on current in the not too distant past was a story about israel and ebay.
the story headline was "israel has the most aggressive ebay bidders"
im sure this isnt true due to basic logic.i mean our mumu wearing,ebay shopping,house wives out number the entire israeli population, making the volume of aggrassive bidders greater on our part just by the numbers alone.not to mention israeli society isnt really like that witht he whole materialism thing.
point being that "israelis are the most aggressive ebay bidders" looks like a conlcusion made by a legit scientific study as it is presented that way.but it is in actuality not.in narrative it is just an updated contemperary version of "jews are cheap".olberman,or shultz,or anyone can share this article and it wouldnt make them antisemites.it just makes them manipulated by antisemites cuz they arent looking out for it.kind of a "dont hate the player hate the game" deal.
thier are antisemites on here.but they are few and far between.many more are just misslead.not that i know all.but i do know bullshit when i see it.

so human rights and violations of them are subject to price comparisons?
being on the recieving end of the most environmentaly damaging material,thus threatening our ability to potentialy exist, and an alternate standard other than a straight up inherant value in human existance dictates its importance?
shitting up our backyard when we dont need to matters cuz its israel's trash,but the puerto ricans suffering from being our nuclear cesspit is less important?despite them actualy dropping like flies as a result?

So who the hell else is sending us their Nuclear waste? Should I go yell at the Portugese for this evil? If Jews are sending us their shit, then they are the ones I will be upset with. We're not Israel's Mommy and should not have to clean up after them, so get over my irritation.

Israel never asked the USA to be its Mommie. Let's not forget that they not we are surrounded by hostile enemies bent on their destruction. As for their sending us their nuclear waste, I want more facts on this, and if it is true, it is wrong. And it is also wrong for any other country to do this. Do you savvy?

You are absolutely right!!! Why not get rid of this nuclear shit entirely? We have so much of this all over the planet, we can't get rid of it. I'd like an inventory of all the nuclear items we have world wide. I am sure it would be frightening. PS Each country should be responsible for its own toxic trash, not their neighbors. Hey, I love Israel, but I live in the US.
