Surely the palestinians recognize the right of Israel to exist. It's just the country name and policies that they want to change.

bushbred, why shouldn't the Israelis have the right to have, maintain, or use nuclear weapons? And just how is their having them illegal? What are the laws against them specifically? Jews were major contributors to the science and production of atomic weapons. Isn't it theirs by right?
Or should just the commies have them?
No wait. India, Pakistan, North Korea, Iran, etc. I suppose these nations are legal holders of nuclear weaponry.

You critics still don't seem to cotton on to the lessons of power politics.

Such decisions should be made from organisations fashioned fom either legal or official lawmaking areas.

The very fact that there is such looseness, even allowing Mordecai to be punished by the Israelies, when all he was doing is what political scientists do praise him for, calculating what an arrogant little nation being allowed such weaponry could cause in the future.

Indeed, if Mr Bush was idiotic enough to give Israel the okay, we feel pretty sure that Israel would pontentially set Iran and its neighbours aflame even just with nuclear strikes on Tehran.

About time some of you guys got real and listened to people who get academic awards for handling such situations.

Busbred,

To make things clear:
Israel must continue to have nuclear weapons,
but should never ever use them in first-strike.

I agree with you that the treatment of Mordechai was (and still is) shameful.

"Indeed, if Mr Bush was idiotic enough to give Israel the okay, we feel pretty sure that Israel would pontentially set Iran and its neighbours aflame even just with nuclear strikes on Tehran."

"Pretty sure that would potentially" doesn't say much, does it? I am also pretty sure that Australia too, if we had nuclear weapons, we would either use them or we wouldn't - that's for sure!

Mr. Bush has more than enough of these weapons himelf and some of them are getting old and corroded, so he could indeed use Iran for replacing them, but why should this belong in the discussion about Israel's right to exist?

Bushbred,
If Mordecai had been a Syrian, Iranian, or Egyptian :
1) You would never have got to hear his criticism-they would have put a lid on it very quick smart, &
2) He’d have been long dead by now.
( they shoot people in the street in the Palestinian territories for far less than that)

Perfect English, Yuyutsu!
