Because that would make him (more specifically, the United States) an Indian giver. (To use a common colloquialism, not as a slur against Indians or Native Americans). I have often wondered how we can so adamently preach peace in the Middle East, yet show unflinching support for one side of the conflict? I don't understand it either.

You might as well ask the question, "If the US can have nuclear weapons, why can't Iran ?"
The goal of US foreign policy is - and must be - to protect the security of its citizens at home, and their standing abroad.
If the US does not choose to attack a country's nuclear program, be it India's or Israel's, it is because that program is not perceived to be a threat to the United States or to the interests of the United States.
I cannot imagine any country surviving with a foreign policy that dictated that it sacrifice its own interests to an idea of global, moral fairness. Kidnergarten works that way; sadly, the world doesn't.
You might not like this answer, but there it is.

Be silly if they did since I am pretty certain they gave them to them or sold them to them. What does isreal having nukes have to do with being taken seriously? The reason countries don't take the u,s, seriously is because liberals trash this country more then anyone on the planet.

Rumor has it that they have had them since the 70's, but they have never claimed to have them, so what is your point. 7 presidents could have done something, but without proof it isn't an option.
Israel has never threatened her neighbors either.
