Why would such a very young, small country in a highly volatile area of the world be allowed to sit on so many nukes poised to use them someday.
. I should have made it clear. I too agree they should abide by the same rules as other nuke countries. Sorry.

Sorry but I don't buy it
Fine Israel may need Nukes and other WMD's
BUT
They need to sign up to the same laws and treaty's the rest of the WMD community is signed up to !
Why are they a exception to international law?

I believe you answered your own question. If it were I that was surrounded by a band of lunatics hell bent on wiping out me very existence, I would do whatever I had to in order to discourage that. It may piss off a few people, but in the end, I'm alive......edit on 4/2/2014 by GNOarmy because: (no reason given)

I don't think Israel has nukes, but the idea of Israel having nukes prevents future war, letting the IAEA in to find no nukes won't look very good.edit on 2-4-2014 by 010203 because: (no reason given)

I always wonder why nobody gets their panties in a bunch when that lunatic in NK has nukes and nobody blinks an eye, but the thought of Israel having them is a no-no.
Israel is widely believed to be the sixth country in the world to develop nuclear weapons, having assembled crude, but likely operational, nuclear weapons in 1967
Israel Although Israel does not officially confirm or deny having nuclear weapons, the country is widely believed to be in possession of them. Its continued ambiguity stance puts it in a difficult position, since to issue a statement pledging 'no first use' would confirm their possession of nuclear weapons. Israel has said that it "would not be the first country in the Middle East to formally introduce nuclear weapons into the region."[26] If Israel's very existence is threatened, some speculate that Israel would use a "Samson Option," a "last resort" deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons, may be initiated should the state of Israel be substantially damaged and/or near destruction.[27][28][29]
