FOr those who need documentation, the threat was reported by Britain’s The Sunday Times in early January, that Israeli pilots have been training to use nuclear weapons premptively against Iran. Iran has said it's nuclear program is for electricity, and has never threatened Israel with nuclear weapons.

And we "Normal, moral people," means we people of the world, wherever we live, who are normal and moral.

Probably nothing. We can't affect the descisions of other people, can we? In the end, it's entirely their descision. We just need to be prepared, I guess.
And cut it with the hate, Canadian Guy above. I'm American, and I happen to like Canada. No reason for you to diss my country without a valid reason.

People may say "well they stop attacking them!" But that makes absolutely no sense. If you want self defense, then you stock up on other weapons. Nuclear weapons means mutual destruction - especially for a country as tiny as Israel, surrounded by several other countries. The fact that they're willing to use nuclear weapons just proves how irrational they're being. Plus, if you want peace, you just stop arming yourselves. It's not rocket science. As long as they keep arming themselves, the "terrorists" will never stop seeing them for what they really are - the oppressors. And everyone should have the right to stand up against their oppressors.
I certainly don't trust them with it. Hell, I don't even trust the US with it. But why is it that Israel can get them when Iran can't? They're both major threats. Israel has shown the world in the past how much they overreact. When a few pissed off civilians throw rocks at a group of armed Israeli police, the Israeli's cut off the electricity, detonate sound bombs and open fire. Overreaction? Yes! And the summer war - they're coming under increasing criticism from the international community. Did they defend themselves? Yes, but they also went above and beyond, killing hundreds of innocent civilians without using their best judgment (or maybe it was their best judgment, which is just scary). I've seen footage of teenage boys and small children showing the peace symbol, just asking for the Israeli's to let through milk for the babies in refugee camps. What do the Israeli's do? They gun them down. There is NO excuse for such actions. The Israeli's have shown that they're capable of such depraved and inhuman actions (they're no better than the "terrorists"), so they certainly should not have access to such lethal weapons.
I'm not saying Israel shouldn't exist, but obviously, if nothing has changed in the past 60 years it's time to change your tactics! And by "inhuman" I'm talking about sections of the military and government - not the regular Israeli people. The majority of the Israeli people was peace and agree on common goals.
So, to answer your question after my rant I'd say no, there's nothing we can really do. There's something the international community can do, but we'd have to force our UN representatives to do what - shove some papers in their faces and tell them they're being bad? No. If they want it, it'll happen. Everyone is too afraid of being anti-Semitic to do anything to stop it.

What threat? When'd they make such a threat? Care to provide documentation?
--------------
Ah, okay. Sorry, no, considering that Iran has rejected every single offer to have outside countries come in, and for FREE, provide nuclear technology and run it... and Iran's refused?
Iran's not out to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
I'd say Israel should turn Iran into a huge sheet of glass, but unfortunately, the sand in the Middle East is from coral and has way too little silica to turn into trinitite glass. It'd just be a large radioactive smoulder.

By helping to convince Israel's Arab enemies that if they should ever invade or use their nuclear weapons against Israel, they the invader/violator will be destroyed.
Excuse me, Israel has never admitted to having these weapons, how could they have threatened anybody with it. You must be referring to Iran in your ignorance.
Your normal moral criticism may be more justified by asking, 'How can we convince Iran not to continue their nuclear quest'
