No, WMD are really bad weapons to use against terrorists. Your best weapons are good intelligence services and good, tight law enforcement.
WMD are best used as a deterrent against military adventurism by other states. As such, I can see a lot of states being interested in having their own nuclear or other WMD deterrent. It's the reason both Britain and France invested lots of money to have their own nuclear forces. They wanted an independent deterrent against the Soviets.
Whether nor not this makes sense to use as a deterrent against Israel depends on whether or not you think Israel is likely to irresponsibly attack their neighbors. I can't say that having a deterrent force doesn't make sense. But it can be very, very expensive and can make you something of a pariah, so the cost is tremendously high. That alone probably makes it not worth it for most nations, particularly Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt in the examples you suggest. Russia, of course, already has them.

Since when has Israel EVER conducted terrorist strikes against any of these countries?
Syria, Lebanon and Egypt have all initiated first strikes against Israel in most of the Arab-Israeli wars. I don't know what history books you're reading, but you definitely have your facts messed up.
Russia is in combat constantly with Muslim rebels, and has received numerous terrorist strikes from them within Russia itself. Not once, on any occasion, has an Israeli ever struck a Russian city or Russian citizen in any operation. So where do you get this bogus information from?
Your post tells me that you're just an anti-Semite who wants to stir up more hatred against the Jewish people. But you certainly failed in that mission, because any reasonable, intelligent person knows the history of that region, and the terrorist activities there. And none of them involve Israel as being the ones who initiated any violence. That falls straight into the laps of the Muslims. Your post furthers my point about Islam being a hate religion.
Get your facts straight before you spew this kind of nonsense!

There are no Israeli terrorist. Iran, Iraq, Russia, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt are terrorist who have WMD's.
Therefore no reason for WMD's to be used against the small yet somehow threatening country of Israel. Israel has the "G.O.D. WMD" on their side. Those Iranian, Iraqi, Russian, Syrian, Lebanese, Egyptian dogs best stay on the porch....start none, be none!

Against whom has Israel used WMD's?
The answer is: NOBODY.
Would the possession of WMD's keep someone from using them?
NO. As a matter of fact, the proliferation of such weapons makes it more likely that somebody will use them.
WMD's are strictly offensive weapons, not good to use against terrorists. The only way to get rid of terrorists is to hunt them down and kill them like the vermin they are. Like the Israeli's and Americans are doing.

I believe that no country should have the right to own or use WMD...I believe that we are supposed to live in the 21st century where we shouldn't need weapons anymore...
So I say no...Instead of arming those countries with WMD,let's disarm all the other...Of course this would happen in a perfect world...

Absolutely, Israel is responsible for the actions of "irregular military forces" within their borders, and so if a terrorist group is based in Israelt han it is on Israel to stop it. As such WMDs could be very effective as a deterrent as Israel would be facing completely unnacceptable losses if it found out any of the aforementioned countries owuld respond with WMDs.

What? Are you asking if one bunch of nutter terrorists should have WMD to defend against yet another bunch of nutters?
I think not.
And I am not really sure that you can call Israelis terrorists.
They reckon they are just defending themselves against terrorist attack from other countries.
So, who's telling the truth? Who are the real terrorists?
I would rather not see such unstable governments such as those you mention have WMDs.
Bad enough the US, Israel and a few other relatively stable and freedom loving countries have the damned things.
Why have more?

Strange, I can't find any information about Israelis setting off bombing at the market places, on the streets, or in night clubs and cafes of any of those countries. Nor have the Israelis placed explosives on small children so they could become killers while killing themselves.
And you call the Israelis terrorists? Do you know how many times the Arab countries have attacked Israel since 1945?
Your use of the term terrorist seems less than satisfactory.

Holy hook. you will no longer get reasonable leaders in charge of radical muslims. Helloooo!! Radical? Mormons have been arrested on occasion for certainly marrying off youthful females to person men, which makes what they're doing infant rape. Freedom of religion in basic terms is going so some distance, anyhow. females at the instant are not to any extent further considered chatel in this usa, meaning that a woman can not be promised as factors to a guy. If it is going against a series faith, then so be it. maximum mormons deserted this custom years in the past. If a faith dictated lady castration, this is a torturous and blood ordeal executed on a youthful lady, growing to be a existence of excruciating soreness for a woman, would desire to we enable it, with the intention to no longer intervene along with her father's faith? i think of no longer. arranged marriage that ends up in infant rape additionally falls into this class. whilst a woman is the right age to make judgements for herself, she will elect to maintain on along with her faith and wade via with an arranged marriage or no longer. At that factor, it turns into none of our employer. it is the duty of society as an entire to guard babies, even from their own faith. allowing human beings to fill infant's head with in spite of they elect isn't useful for a society, and not what the form became for. Adults have the duty to no longer screw up a infant. we've the duty of coaching a infant appropriate from incorrect, and premier via occasion. the conflict we are scuffling with against terrorism isn't a hypothetical conflict. we are interior the middle east scuffling with and killing those that would desire to fairly like greater suitable than something to return right here and kill as many human beings as they might earlier getting themselves martyred interior the call of their Jihad. Smarten up.
