In an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan set to air tonight, prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said the expanding threat of a nuclear catastrophe in Japan has changed his thinking on the safety of nuclear power. “It certainly caused me to reconsider the projects of building civil nuclear power plants,” Netanyahu said. “I have to tell you I was a lot more enthusiastic about it than I am now.”

Netanyahu, whose conversation with Morgan touches on Israel, Palestine, the spread of uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, said what’s happening in Japan is a “confluence of a natural disaster and a man-made disaster. And the cloud of radioactivity, the uncertainty of what will happen with it, is the cloud that hangs over the people of Japan, and the people of the world.”

Netanyahu said natural gas may give Israel an alternative to nuclear:

“Are you saying you might actually stop any kind of nuclear program in Israel,” asked Morgan. “I don’t think we’re going to pursue civil nuclear energy in the coming years,

Can you imagine a nuclear blowout in Israel? All the radiation and since Israeli’s are not well-liked in the region, they would have nowhere to go. Not only that, every terrorist in the middle east would target those facilities.

Nuclear power is too dangerous, if anything goes wrong, not only are you ****ed but so is anyone within a wind-shot of you. We’re feeling stuff from Japan, just imagine if it happened in the US, the entire country would be covered.

Mr. Morgan,

During your interview last night with Prime Minister Netanyahu, I was extremely embarrassed that you elected yourself as spokesperson for other nations. This misleads the viewing public.

Although you spoke respectively, your questions and demands were often disrespectful.

Please stop yourself from electing to be the sole representative and speaker for countries around the world.

Thank you Prime Minister Netanyahu for all the achievements your country has accomplished.
