From Haaretz: "Operation Cast Lead is a tragic campaign. Tragic, because it is causing the deaths of hundreds and injuring thousands. Tragic, because it is causing physical and emotional injury to innocent Palestinians, including women and children. Tragic, because like every war it creates intolerable human hardship and heartbreaking suffering. "
That sounds like a recipe for perpetual war - or total annihilation. But that is what you guys would like, right? Since Jews have been fighting their "brothers" in the region for thousands of years, and still carries a grudge - so does the Arabs. It seems you and most others with your kind of view are stuck with a one-track-brain set with institutionalized memory and radicalism. Abrahamic religion is extremely violent and polarizing when being applied to external environments. Frankly, I just pity you.
For the last time, France only showed the Israelis the theoretical aspects of building a nuclear reactor. France only got the Israeli nuclear program to 90% completion. It would have never been completed until the United States provided the heavy water and other key materials to create the nukes. Afterward, the US provided the missiles to house the warheads, and they provided the aircraft and weapon control systems for deploying them. Without the US, Israel would NOT have nuclear weapons. Period. They would only have a theoretical understanding of how to build them which is a far cry from actually having them. So yes, the US enabled Israel to become a nuclear power. Nuff said.
...JUst thinking out loud here.. Israel has had Nukes for decades and has never used them depite constant attacks from surrounding areas......what would happen if Syria, Lebanon or the Pals. got a hold of one or had one for the last few decades? Hamas? Hezbollah? would they have launched a nuke on Israel and obliterated millions in the blink of an eye unprevoked?????
JUst responding on paper, have you known of any of Israel's neighbors leadership, engage themselves in a suicide bombing attack? Because if anyone lobbed a nuke on Israel, it would be an act of suicide for the leadership of the country that did it. Would a terrorist group use a nuke on Israel? Yes probably they would, but their leader would be hidden in Afghanistan or somewhere we "couldn't smoke em out of."
Actually yes....The Hamas leader killed yesterday sent his own son into Israel for a suicide bomb attack a few years ago
