if there is one nation on this earth, it is ISRAEL, who needs a REAL DETERENT!

Why should the Middle East be a free nuclear zone. Surely this is total hypocricy from the U.N. How about calls for a nuclear free world rather, starting with the biggest culprits - USA & Russia.

know when to fold up; know when to walk away, know when to run. You never count your cards, when you're sittin' at the table – there'll be time enough for countin', when the dealing's done." Israel, play your cards close to the vest. You're swimming with sharks.

80 isn't enough to destroy all of Israel's enemies. The maintenance of mutually assured destruction could require hundreds.

As long as Israel is surrounded by 22 whacked out Islamic Arab nations and further out, other non-Arab Islamic nations such as Sudan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, etc, Israel being such a teeny tiny nations NEEDS MORE NUCLEAR WARHEADS! We all know about the Islamic bloody modus operandi. So Israel stay armed to the teeth!

they will push israel under the bus big time. obama will hide under putin's skirts just like he has been hiding under eu skirts. obama hates israel. he has been humiliating the nation of israel as well as the awe struck jews in the us. israel needs to have hundreds of nukes. look at what has happened in syria and weep. people, including children were gassed.

YES ! Armed to the teeth" IS A NECCESSITY for Israel of 2013 CE (5774). My understanding: The so-called Israeli nuclear defense is reserved as an ULTIMATE means of defense. Any ( A N Y ! )foreign source, no matter how heavily armed, will be stopped from restarting the "FINAL SOLUTION" by the fact of inevitable Israeli nuclear retailiation. To keep such "end of days" meaningful: "ordinary" Israeli miltary response must preclude nuclear weapons. moshe

I recall an Israeli broken Arrow back in 1973 she was in a A4. After that event Israel has choose to be more creative where to hold the nuks and also the maintenance of the war heads is expensive, so with around 80 is enough to deter any muslim from going out of conventional war

If you are going to win a war you need to have weapons to fight like hell. Nukes are like parachutes, if you need one and don't have one, chances are you won't need one again, you'll be dead.

The Holocaust Molded the Jews to get nuclear according to some observers.The Jews were Fundemental in developing this Horrific weapons because of the Genocide and Torture by Nazis in Europe.Lets us pray they and other weapons are never used.

Israel has not signed the NPT so does not allow the UN access to its nuclear sites. It also has the ambiguity policy so it doesn't admit it even has nukes. How the hell did these people know not only how many bombs did israel have but also the fact they know no new warheads have been built since 2004? The problem with this article coming our right now is its going to be exploited by the world especially theUN, arabs who have been calling for this UN conference of a nuclear free region and of course Iran. Assad is giving up his WMDS why isn't Israel? Israel must be forced to give up iits nukes, Obama is also falling for the charms of Rohani and os looking into easing sanctions and with them reducing their stockpile of highly enriched uranium ( not all of it ) it really does look like Iran are now the good guys wanting to cooperate and Israel is being the rogue state because it has nukes.

It matters little whether Israel possesses 8, 80 ,or even 800 nuclear warheads. The message is the same :DO NOT MESS WITH US.

Israel is a modern, progressive, forwarding looking democracy. Its citizens enjoy the highest standard of living in the region (no, oil rich princes who never worked a day in their lives do not count). Israel is a very stable society. Syria, on the other hand, is not modern, progressive or forward looking. Syria is an entrenched totalitarian state. To demand that Israel relinquish its weapons of mass destruction because Syria is being forced to relinquish its such weapons is ludicrous and completely unfounded. The United States has far more weapons of mass destruction than Israel. So let's dismantle the American arsenal first. The United States has meddled militarily in foreign places far more than Israel. Destroy the American arsenal, now!

All pali terrorist groups should know something.. If a suitcase bomb explodes in any one of Israel's major cities, all of Gaza will be turned into a glass parking lot, the palis in Yehuda and Shomron, many will be put to death and the rest permanantly expelled to Jordan. If we find out it was Hezbolah, all of Lebanon will be wiped off the map. 80 warheads.... Our enemies should know, if we are forced to be Samson we will be Samson. We will destroy all of them before they have a chance to murder us again.

Sarah B: Israel/USA loyalty sans USA

We don’t need traitors like you in the USA.

no benign IAF fly over Auschwitz fifty years to late. and their past deed of extermination has not had a full account and their belief that the micro-criticism of Israel will save them from this accounting is illusionary.
