      US Hypocrisy on North Korea: Let's Talk About Israel's Nukes                 : Information Clearing House - ICH Many countries around the world certainly see hypocrisy in the Obama administration's position on North Korea. Israel has repeatedly been condemned by the UN for its occupation of Palestinian lands. Moreover, it has hundreds of nuclear weapons with estimates ranging from 200-400 warheads.
