1. France is the country that showed them step by step how to do it.

2. But who showed France how to do it step by step? The mighty United States of America. The ONLY place on the face of earth who knows how to innovate. This is one of the reasons why people love America. We love innovation, freedom, justice, standing for the weak and unjustly beaten, ..., etc.

So, USA showed France all the details, and France later did the same for Israel. It is the student of the teacher, that taught the new student.
 
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. "
 
Quote from goldenarm:

Without the threat of nuclear retaliation, Israel would get its ass kicked by its enemies.

That is amusing. In past skirmishes, Israel had over a 50:1 kill ratio in air battles with Syria.


For decades, the US/Israeli coalition has prevented any other middle east country from achieving nuclear capability.

I am glad you think that the best solution is to nuclear arm everyone.

Have you been watching the Pakistan-India news? They were threatening to go nuclear over Kashmir a few years ago

The difference is, that Islamic countries with nuclear weapons would be happy to use them. 70 virgins and all that insane rot.

...
The reality is that Islamic extremists must be exterminated, not placated. Anything less will fail.

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. :p
 
Quote from a_person:

Thank you honey for helping me deal with an ignoramus who stubbornly insists that the US enabled Israel to become the only nuclear power in the Middle East

Maybe he'll listen to 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
 
He is his own son?

So, actually no, you haven't provided a leader who engaged in a suicide mission.
