They’re not against nuclear weapons; they’re for our enemies.
The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons won a Nobel Peace Prize for its opposition to the existence of nuclear weapons. Its slogan was ‘We must eliminate nuclear weapons before they eliminate us.’ Unless the nukes are in the hands of Islamic terrorists.
After Israel launched its campaign to end Iran’s nuclear weapons program, ICAN denied that Iran was developing nuclear weapons and instead condemned Israel for striking Iran’s nukes.
International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, which helped found ICAN, also condemned Israel and instead urged it to create “a Middle East Weapons of Mass Destruction Free Zone.” Then IPPNW laid the blame on America and other countries for having caused the whole problem by refusing to give up their own nuclear weapons. And, contravening reality, the leftist group argued that “there is no military solution to the growing risk of nuclear proliferation.”
No doubt if America and Israel unilaterally disarm, Iran would never nuke both of them.
During the Cold War, IPPNW promoted Soviet arms control proposals, now it promotes Iran’s proposals for “negotiations” and “diplomacy”. Physicians for Social Responsibility, which helped found the movement, was accused of being a Communist front group. The Soviet Union may be gone, but ICAN, IPPNW and PSR believe that only American nukes are bad nukes.
In the 1980s, Helen Caldicott, a key PSR leader, compared a Trident nuclear missile to “a gas oven full of Jews burning up.” These days, Caldicott’s social media feed is a stream of Iranian, Houthi and Hamas propaganda denouncing the Jewish State and opposing strikes on Iran. It wasn’t the US Navy that was set on burning Jews up in ovens but the anti-nuclear activist.
The ‘Auschwitz’ slogan was popular among opponents of America’s nuclear weapons.
“I say with a deep consciousness of these words that Trident is the Auschwitz of Puget Sound,” Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen infamously declared in 1981. The reality was that the Trident was what was keeping the Soviet Union from building death camps in America..
There was no such outrage about all the ‘Auschwitzes’ being built by Hitler’s former allies in the USSR or his former allies in the Middle East. A generation after accusing American nuclear missiles of being “Auschwitz”, anti-nuclear groups defended the Iranian nuclear ‘Auschwitzes’ publicly dedicated to “Death to America”, “Death to Israel” and killing millions of Jews.
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, which claims to be fighting for a “nuclear-free world”, is campaigning to scrap nuclear weapons in the UK and the US, but to keep them in Iran. Alongside calls to end nuclear weapons elsewhere, it demands “No war in Iran” and urges the “US and the UK to step back from the brink”. The ‘brink’ being ending Iran’s nuclear weapons.
According to CND, which spent 70 years warning that the UK’s nuclear weapons posed a threat to mankind, Iran’s nuclear program does not pose a threat and we should just leave it alone.
“Instead of taking steps to disarm its nuclear weapons,” CND complained that the UK is updating its launch platforms. After calling for “diplomatic and economic pressure on nuclear-armed, genocidal Israel” with sanctions and an embargo, and demanding that the UK abandon its nuclear capabilities, the group had nothing to say about Iran’s nukes.
Turns out that the only bomb that the “Ban the Bomb” campaign wanted to ban was ours. --->READ MORE HERE
