Does Israel have nukes?

Question

A lot is said about many countries having or developing or wishing to develop nukes, but Israel??? I never read or hear anything about it in the news.

Answer 1

Yes, they do. Israel never signed on to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and, most experts believe, have built a significant arsenal. They are very secretive about the extent of their capability.

The American Federation of Scientists, a group founded by some of the scientists from the Manhattan Project, has good information, and links to more.

Their home page: http://www.fas.org

Their site is fascinating, if you want a look at the spread of nuclear capability and weapons throughout the world. Click on 'Foreign Weapons Systems' on the left hand side of their homepage. Scary.

Answer 2

Israel is like America's last unofficial state. Of course it has nukes! Its army is one of the strongest in the world. The israeli army is really like a branch of the US army. Almost all their weapons are american. But remember, the US and their allies are allowed to make nukes while when another nation attempts to do so is it all a sudden a TERRORIST STATE. lol

by the way, there is a reason why you did not hear this in the news. The news is used to brainwash the media about other humans being terrorists.

Answer 3

yup definitely....
Israel has over 300 Atomic Bombs and these were developped by stealing uranium fromPennsylvania. Also behind Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb blasts there were Zionis hands. When India carried out its nucelar blasts, these also included some for Israel as Israel did not want its image of "Innocent" distorted.
Why Americans could not punish for stealing uranium from Pennsylvania? Because America is a SLAVE country to Zionists. Not only it could not do any action against Israel when Israel attacked USS Liberty deliberatleykilling 34 USA marines but USA President Johnson whom Zionists brought in power after killing Kennedy, did not send USA planes to rescue the injured USA marines. The Papa Bush (Fahter of this mentally retarded baby Bush) banned all media to cover a ceremony to honor the survivors of USS Liberty. Papa Bush even did not enter the room. He and James Baker waved from the window.

Answer 4

If it does, it ought to use them on Iran, and cut the head of Islamofascism movement. Iran must be dealt with before it is too late.

I am sick and tired of hearing from Muslim community leaders that Islam is such a "peaceful" religion(!). Well, thank Allah Islam is a "peaceful" religion. Can you imagine if it weren't??!

It's time for Muslims to take accountability for their religion and culture. Stop spinning, and address the fact that the Muslim culture is one of the most oppressive and violent cultures, against its own people, and certainly against other cultures.

For those who believe that the extremist element in Islam is small, the numbers are staggering. There are 1.2 billion Muslims in this world. Lets take a very liberal view that only a very small percentage of Muslims are exterme, while the rest of the Muslim world is very peaceful. So if only 10% of Muslims have extreme point of views, and may be a threat, and must be dealt with, meaning dealing with 120 million Muslims! How about 1%? Then you must deal with 12 million Muslims. How about 1/10 of a percent? Then you must deal with 1.2 million Muslims. The numbers are staggering! How do you propose dealing with even the "very low" figures of 1.2 million Muslim extremists?

It would be to the benefit of Lebanon, Israel, the Middle East, and the World to rid of Hezbollah, Hamas, the Syrian and Iranian regime. It must be done to finally have a chance for peace in the region and the rest of the world.

Answer 5

Of course they do. You just don't hear about it. Remember who Israel's #1 ally is. If they don't have them, you know the US would shoot them off on Israel's behalf. Remember the first Persian Gulf War and all of the Patriot Missles that we send over there to protect them from Saddam's scud missles? Israel is surrounded by hostile nations that want them gone, so a nuclear deterant certainly is needed for their own defense.

Answer 6

I take subject with the answerer above, who says this question is antisemitic.. reason there is not any malice in this question. he's purely asking you to shift perspectives for the sake of extreme thinking. My first concept is - please Israel, please do no longer nuke all people. you will ultimately gain what you sow and upload yet another thousand years of conflict on your destiny generations. do no longer do it! to respond to the question notwithstanding, the u . s . does not retaliate against Israel. From the attitude of Western foreign places coverage the selection one precedence is to restrict to any extent further international locations from gaining nuclear hands. it relatively is no longer proper who you're - in case you do not have them now, our coverage is to do each and every thing in our capability to stay away from you from ever coming up them. hence if a strike against Iran prevented / destroyed their nuclear armaments we would as a remember of coverage help that. usual it is an relatively complicated subject, yet at it relatively is center is one particularly trouble-free central.. do no longer fireplace nuclear weapons at planet earth. do no longer do it. Ever. No. it relatively is insanity. And notwithstanding chief authorizes the 1st strike would desire to be seen as an insane conflict criminal.

Answer 7

Yes, France or the UK supplied the uranium I believe. Can't remember. It's been claimed in many spy books.

Answer 8

And I quote:
"While Israel has never admitted to having nuclear weapons, few international experts question the Jewish state's presence on the world's list of nuclear powers. "

Answer 9

they have had nukes since the 60's...i think they show more restraint than iran ever will...
