Common wisdom says that Israel has built nuclear weapons and they have agreed with the U.S. not to test them in return for us not making a stink before the various bodies which attempt to control nuclear weapons.

Their policy is to neither affirm or deny that they have nuclear weapons. Officially they say this is because they don't want to create an arms race. Realistically they don't want to give Arab nations an excuse to build nuclear weapons in self defense.

Nuclear weapons are inhuman and they have to be done away with and done away with totally. Nukes of all the countries should be destroyed. I stress “all the countries” because I mean the destruction of USA’s stockpile too.

Fact is America is the only country that has used atomic bombs on civilians. They are still building up their arsenal and nobody utters a word. Israel, a nation which never recognizes the rights of anyone except the Jews’, has stockpiles of nukes enough to destroy the entire neighborhood and nobody complains. France, England, Russia, China, India and Pakistan do the same and there is no talk about disarmament.
According to the Nuclear Threat Initiative, based on Vanunu's information, Israel has approximately 200-300 nuclear explosive devices and a Jericho missile delivery system. A United States Defense Intelligence Agency report puts the number of weapons at 400. The difference might lie in the amount of material Israel has on store versus assembled weapons.
What is the guarantee that Israel won’t use these weapons against its neighbors? After all it’s a nation that shows scant respect to the will of the international community. Look at what they have done to Lebanon and are continuing to do to Palestinians. How can anybody trust this nation?

I am not 100% I know what your asking so forgive the answer if its completely off. Israel is a country that is widely believed to be a nuclear power but I don't believe they have ever publicly confirmed on the record that they have weapons although they have made comments in the press that highly suggest that they do.

I see you've asked this same question about Russia, and the U.S. What scheme are you alluding to? Do you even understand your question? IF Israel has nuclear capabilities, I say good for them. Surrounded by countries who want to annihilate them, and are trying to go nuclear themselves, they must have weapons to defend their country.

They are quirreling a little bit because the Prime Minister alluded that they have nukes. Now some are angry and saying that he should step down. Go figure. Who knows. If this were to be the case, then that would mean that they'd be exempt from monetary handouts.

Their policy is that of 'strategic uncertainty.' The theory being that if nobody is sure they have them or what their policies on using them are - they are less likely to want to conquer their country.
