Exactly the same thing I think about all nuclear weapons, perfect for the extermination of all life on earth, intelligent or not. One explosion leads to another, chain explosions across the lands, around the planet, then nuclear winter...end of species. Maybe a few sad creatures left to fight to live...and in a few millenia do it all over again.

Same thing I thought since I found out they had them (years ago) why would anyone be surprised of course the u.s. is supplying them. They also swear they will not be the first one to fire a nuclear weapon over in the middle east. However if ahmadinjad(sp) gets his hands on nukes he will use them against. Israel. Evan the Iranian people don't want their government having them.

The tiny Jewish nation on a sand trap, capable of sustaining its Democracy of 6 million, while surrounded by mortal enemies which have countless oil reserves and money;
the small country with an economy that dwarfs the whole region because of its capitalist enterprises and its human rights;
that same nation which has been attacked since its inception; it's people pursued, murdered and enslaved to this very day;
I would say it is a good deterrent for now. But sooner or later, God forbid, someone might drop a big one on Israel, even if it killed half the Arabs in the surrounding the area.
And since they've had it for a while, I haven't heard about them using a nuclear weapon.

Why do the Arabs hate the Jews? Are they afraid of them? I haven't heard of the Jews threatening to take over Arab lands and kill them all except in self-defense. If the Arabs are so poor maybe their rulers are not sharing the oil money with them that the Americans are paying them for all these years. Israel should park a truck A-bomb in each big Arab city until the Arabs call off their dogs. Starting with their crazy clerics.

The existence of weapons of mass destruction in Israel gives countries in the area the right to construct or buy nuclear arms.

Gosh, they've had them since 1969 and have at least 300 now. You think this worries the other countries in the middle east and motivates them to start developing their own nuclear weapons?

Now that Olmert blew the cover on Israeli nuclear ambiguity, the US cannot legally send aid to Israel anymore. By our own laws and treaties, we promised not to send aid to countries that do not allow international inspections. All the aid given to Israel up to this date must be returned in full. Either they sign the NNPT, like every other civilized nuclear power, or they get no more taxpayer handouts.

If they exist they are no danger to the West, to Europe or America. If Iranian nuclear weapons exist, or if North Korean ones do, you had better be afraid, very afraid.

Needed.
If Israel put their weapons down, they would be dead.
If the terrorists did, there would be peace.

Given Israel's geography and the number of enemies sworn to wipe them out, I think the're justified. Peace through superior firepower. That policy has worked wonders for this country -- albeit 9/11.
