There has never been proof that Israel has a nuclear bomb. They have always relied on the patronage of the USA and that's where their nuclear option really is.

I sure hope they don't. Not with the way they like to retaliate.

What the hell? There is no proof?
Israel have been adding to their nuclear arsenal steadily over the course of the last few years. It was an American CO that commented on it in 2004, that it was a worrying turn of events. If Israel proliferate their nuclear arms it will just urge others to do the same. A large nuclear presence in the Middle East is a VERY worrying turn of events indeed.
We have known about Israel's nuclear capability for a long time. In fact, some effort has been made to curtail it.

They have the bombs and they have the means to make more. They're not even denying that fact. Why do they have to prove it?

There isnt proof that Israel has a nuclear bomb, but dont be suprised if they dont. Israel not having a nuclear bomb is like OJ Simpson being innocent. If Israel ever announced they had Nuclear Weapons, Arab countries would go crazy and demand the ability to have nuclear weapons too. As Iran is trying to do now.

A bomb is not hard to make, and alot easier to buy on the black market, If they wanted one they would have had and gotten one fairly easy.
It is getting the material ( radioactive ) that is the hard thing, the details on how to make the actual bomb was on the internet at one time several years ago.
since the US could have supplied, or thier own intelligence force maybe stolen, I have no doubt that if they had wanted one, that they have it.

Israel has repetedly denied that they have nuclear capabilities, but it is well known they do have an unacknowledged arsenal of unknown size and strength. And by the way, yes, all their military equipment is cutting edge US technology.

Israel does not bluff they bomb.
Yes they have the bomb, we gave to them, and we give them anything they want for defence.
Because they control the holy city of Bethlehem we pay them tribute, in my opinion.

they do have a nuke, many in fact all because of the patronage of the U.S. all developed countries have at least a few, despite all the agreements and treaties that have been passed.

Well, they have neither affirmed nor denied that they have atomic weapons, but it is commonly understood that they have 150-200 atomic warheads. I'll leave the morality of that up to others.

How is it a bluff. They have not threatened to use it. Their enemies have threatened to use it against Israel before they even have them.
