Of course they should.
I saw a story that talked about how the U.S. government recently released classified documents on Israel's nuclear program. Since its obvious that Israel has a nuclear weapons program, should they be required to sign the NPT?
Simple...Israel signs or the US ends all aid.
They'll sign...fast.
I have a question for all involved; If Israel were to come out and acknowledge their nuclear arsenal, would they be forced to disarm?
Required by who? How?
And by everyone being forced to "address an issue" do you mean they too would become nuclear themselves?
They should be!
President Obama's efforts to curb the spread of nuclear weapons threaten to expose and derail a 40-year-old secret U.S. agreement to shield Israel's nuclear weapons from international scrutiny, former and current U.S. and Israeli officials and nuclear specialists tell The Washington Times.
The issue will likely come to a head when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with Mr. Obama on May 18 in Washington. Mr. Netanyahu is expected to seek assurances from Mr. Obama that he will uphold the U.S. commitment and will not trade Israeli nuclear concessions for Iranian ones.
Assistant Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller, speaking Tuesday at a U.N. meeting on the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), said Israel should join the treaty, which would require Israel to declare and relinquish its nuclear arsenal.
"Universal adherence to the NPT itself, including by India, Israel, Pakistan and North Korea, ... remains a fundamental objective of the United States," Ms. Gottemoeller told the meeting, according to Reuters.
She declined to say, however, whether the Obama administration would press Israel to join the treaty.
They should be treated as all others. No one has been forced to disarm.
But some have interpreted their religious texts to mean that they can use violence and kill to uproot people from their homes to form a Zionist state.
But, what good would it do?
And in fact did just that.
Be required by whom? No other nation can dictate terms to Israel. If someone doesn't like what it does, to hell with them.
I hope the story that Israel is trying to make hydrogen bombs is true. The same number of weapons goes further, when each one is larger. It would take a half dozen of more 40-kiloton fission weapons to demolish Tehran completely, for example, while a single fusion bomb of a few megatons would do the same job. Pondering the end of Persian civilization for all time may tend to concentrate the minds of the jihadist curs who rule Iran.
Why? Recent precedence say otherwise.
Evidently the U.S. and Israel have a secret agreement that the U.S. will shield Israel's nuclear program from international scrutiny. I wonder what we got in return? Perhaps nothing.

Improved hegemony in the region!
The thing is this, we do all this stuff for them, but when we ask them to do something as simple as stopping the settlement expansion, they spit in our face. It is totally amazing that we allow this type of thing to continue.
Warmonger!
If nothing else it would stop U.S. hypocrisy on the issue.
What would that be?
Once again, a personal insult from you. You are showing everyone here that you don't have enough facts or reasoning ability to come up with anything better.
Pakistan and India.
You mean to say that Pakistan and India are threats to Israel?
