Moshe Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress, considers the loading of fuel rods into the nuclear power plant at Bushehr emblematic of an illegal nuclear policy that could spell the end of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT, perhaps the most important pillar of global security.
Kantor warns a nuclear weapons possessing Iran could be a paradigm breaking order in the Middle East, kick off a global nuclear arms race, and make the use of nuclear weapons commonplace in war. And if Iran provided a ‘dirty bomb’ to terrorists, its use ‘would turn inhabitants of the Western world into fearful hostages of terrorists, resulting in the moral and psychological collapse of our civilization.’
Kantor calls for Western countries to implement expanded sanctions, repeating the talking point that Western countries are about to repeat the mistakes made in appeasing Hitler in 1938.
