The controversy over Germany's decision to give heavily-subsidized
nuclear-capable submarines to Israel centered largely around Israel?s
nuclear weapons program, and the concern that Germany would be helping
them deploy WMDs abroad. This fear appears to have been warranted.
It is now being reported that Israel is doing exactly that, loading
the
subs with nukes that are to be launched by a secret 'hydraulic
ejection
system' that Germany installed for them. German officials have
repeatedly insisted they were 'unaware' of the plan.
But now that they're been caught out helping Israel in this manner,
German officials are defending it, saying that they had 'always
assumed'
Israel would load nukes on the submarines.
Though Israel doesn't officially admit to its widely known program,
Defense Minister Ehud Barak didn't appear to shy away from the matter
either, saying that Germany 'should be proud' of having helped Israel
with the deployments.
