our agreements say that all countries are equal, and that includes Israel. Unfortunately, the exclusion of Taiwan from equality means that agreement is not enforced in a fair manner.

and a separate agreement has countries that sign agree not to proliferate nuclear weapons to new countries. Israel, Pakistan, and India did not sign, and are therefore in compliance with that treaty also.

I like how you glaze over the obligations signatories of that treaty DO have... Such as explicitly being not allowed to help other non signatory countries both regarding nuclear programs and ALL MILITARY support. And very explicitly not allowed to aid a "rogue" state in the terms of treaty.. that openly wants nukes. It's not only violatates the treaty direct text it also undermines the entire purpose of the treaty bringing the clock much closer to midnight. If the word of the law was being followed every nuclear proliferation treaty signatory country should be sanctioning Israel as much as North Korea or Iran going back decades. Instead it is ILLEGAL to boycott Israel in many US states.

All of doesn't just apply to treaty obligations but US foreign policy as well... Even from the most ice cold geopolitics pov the USA is behaving irrational and against its best interests in regards to Israel ..

My original point being. If Israel is an exception to nearly every global treaty and agreement geopolitically.... Why would space treaties magically apply to them ?

“All countries are equal, but some countries are more equal than others”

For those who don’t recognize it, this is a take on “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” from Animal Farm by George Orwell. Essential reading for every human (imho).
