"Of course, many Westerners would likely argue that Israel's weapons are morally and historically defensible in a way that an Iranian program would not be, both because of Israel's roots in the Holocaust and because it fought a series of defensive wars against its neighbors. "Israel has never given any reason to doubt its solely defensive nature," said Robert Satloff, executive director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, summarizing the American position. "Israel has never brandished its capabilities to exert regional influence, cow its adversaries or threaten its neighbors."" Run that by me again? How did you go form the Holocaust to Israeli nuclear weapons? So if the Jews of Europe were to be threatened again, Israel would throw the bomb in their defense? Have you taken basic courses in logic, ever?
