1. What nuclear program?
Steve from Raleigh   (08.14.09)
Like the Peaceful Persian Kingdom of Peace, Israel's nuclear research is for purely peaceful aims.
2. It's really no big secret at all..
Michael ,   USA   (08.14.09)
Mess with Israel, and we will nuke you. Any questions?
3. #1, Steve from Raleigh
Shmuel ,   Anaheim, USA   (08.14.09)
Yes, Israel's nuclear capabilities are for purely peaceful purposes. Israel is rumored to have had the BOMB for about forty years now. In all that time she has never used it and her Arab enemies have been unable to anihilate her. That's pretty peaceful in my book. The Iranian nuts are a different story as they want to get their messiah to show up by destroying the Jewish state.
4. Arabs and Iranians work together...
smith   (08.14.09)
don't trust them about Iran issue
5. Arabcountries should better ask about Iran & its helpers
Joe ,   Canada   (08.14.09)
Most Arab countries have more to worry from the secret nuclear activities in Iran & its helpers in Syria & North Korea. Several of these Arab lands are already being undermined by Iran's funded terrorist proxy groups (see Lebanon, Egypt...). So if Iran becomes a nuclear power their security situation will be even worse. No such threat is coming from Israel with or without nuclear weapons.
6. Another illegal means of attack on Israel
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.14.09)
Europe has no say here. Whatever programs we have, they are ours and legal under international law. We do not answer to anybody.
7. Arabs, you'll just have to make due with the Israeli finger
Cameron ,   USA   (08.14.09)
Ask those still living in S. Lebanon & Gaza as to what happens when you push matters beyond that point.
8. arab intent is not peace
Arie ,   BaGolan   (08.14.09)
it is our demise, and they will continue to try new avenues to achieve it. Addressing the swede EU president is understandable given sweden's subservience to its muslim majority
9. TO THE JUNIOR LEAGUE ARABS
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (08.14.09)
HEY MOUSSA AND ALL ARAB JUNIOR LEAGUE..... A SECRET IS A SECRET, AND WHY ARE YOU SO NOSEY AND PRYING ? IF ISRAEL WILL DISCLOSE " SOMETHINGS ", THEN IT WILL NO LONGER BE A SECRET. TO THE ARAB LEAGUE OF SECOND RATE PLAYERS ...........IT'S NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS ! IF ISRAEL OPENNED IT'S SO-CALLED " NUCLEAR DOORS" AND SENT A FEW " ARROWS" FLYING AT YOUR DIRECTION, WOULD THAT BE SUFFICIENT DISCLOSURE FOR YOU. ANYWAYS, WHAT NUCLEAR " SECRETS " ARE YOU JUNIOR LEAGUE ARABS AND CHIEF MOOSA TALKING ABOUT ?
10. Israel's Nuclear program is for making electricity-like Iran
Alan ,   SA   (08.14.09)
11. Dimona is actually Willy Wonka's Choc Factory
oompa lumpa!   (08.14.09)
That's the secret.
12. only 6 months ago arabs would have never proposed this
zionist forever   (08.14.09)
I predicted this was the next step if people started taking their peace plan seriously, the arabs have become respected diplomats who are the ones who should be responsible for moulding the region into the 21st century. When they say it through threats the west doesn't listen but when they act like diplomats the world joins them especially over Israels nuclear program. The arabs may not fear Israel but they don't like the fact it has nukes but they know they have Obama fighting their corner now He is on a crusade to stop anybody but America having nukes. He hates Israel and loves to try and pick a fight with Israel that will create a public rift. He loves all muslim states especially arab ones. He can use it as an excuse to use the dismantling of Israels nuclear program as a bargining chip in his attempt to stop Iran aquiring nukes. The nuclear policy of saying I dont say we do & I dont say we don't have anything was Nixons. What America doesn't know exists America cannot comment on. Once the arabs know exactly what Israel has got the next stage will be taking it all away. Israels position of just acting like the servant who just does as its told, its attempts to embrace the arab world is paying off and Israel has basicly agreed to do as its told in the name of peace even when arabs make the demand. Without the nukes not just Obama but all future US presidents will abandon Israel and the policy of allowing Israel to keep a strategic edge in terms of conventional weapons which thanks to US policy is almost non existent anymore but whats left will go. There are plenty of hi-tec weapons the arabs want to buy but in the past the US has refused to sell because of a fear of altering the regonal balance of power ( the only country with nukes keeps the strongest conventional army .so it never uses nukes ). Israel will have lost the last stranglehold it has over the US and so if the Saudis or Egyptians say we want to spend alot of money in America on these advanced weapons that would put us way ahead of Israel then the US is much more likely to say you got a deal because it no longer matters about swinging the balance of power in favour of the arabs as Obama would like it to be anyway. The enemies are closing in from all sides over all issues and Israel does nothing to defend itself.
13. ha ha at #2
adam ,   london   (08.14.09)
mess with israel, get nuked.... thats exactly why every other nation around israel MUST HVE nuclear weapons it is a rogue state, and whenever it needs help it goes to its BB! pakistan should start making more nuc's and handing them out to KSA jordan egypt etc! israel attacks,,,get rid of it...simple anyquestions???
14. We should give our neighbors some,
jason white ,   afula,israel   (08.14.09)
but show them they worked beforehand.
15. #13 Adam - Israel has never even threatened Arab countries
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (08.14.09)
How can you call Israel a rogue state? We have been attacked multiple times by multiple countries - usually in coordination. Each time with the aim of wiping Israel off the map. At no time has Israel ever threatened or used nuclear weapons against an Arab country - even when the odds we 4 countries against 1. Israel is the only democracy in the whole region (no elections in Egypt, Syria, or Iran don't count as they are all one party elections and Lebanon still can not form a government using elections). Arabs in Israel have better quality of life, more freedom, and the right to complain unlike their brothers in all Muslim countries. If Britain and France had not gone back on their promises for rebuilding the Ottoman empire there would be no middle east conflict. So look to your own heritage of colonialism and aggressive wars before accusing Israel of being a rouge state.
16. GTH is proper reaction (Go to Hell.)
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.14.09)
17. #9 We are not deaf (or blind)
David ,   New England   (08.14.09)
18. 13 - adam
David ,   New England   (08.14.09)
Give a small boy a hammer and he will soon find that everything he encounters needs pounding.
19. #6 <gee
Lisa   (08.14.09)
"We do not answer to anybody-" and your answer does sound just like the Iranians. You are right: Israel has had it- never used it- or threatened (well a little bit lately- right?)- But in all fairness- if Bobby has a toy- Jimmy want the same toy- this is the way it goes... Irak, Iran etc must show and tell- only Israel because they are a civilized country must not? Is there a logic behind it?
20. To #13
Alkalai ,   disgust   (08.14.09)
Adam, we Jews invented the technology when your people were still marveling over the modern flush toilet. So, just get over yourselves and don't give us reason to get that upset with you. OK? Don't fight. Play nice.
21. Israel has to close Dimona reactor soon
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, USA   (08.14.09)
The Dimona reactor is 50 years old and the last of its type, becoming dangerous to operate, which is why Israel has been trying to get new reactor the last few years. Israel will have to sign NPT to get US or EU help and this will just add to that pressure. While Israel has many nukes, it has far less than what many think.
22. One day surprise nukes fission fusion Neutron at MidEast
(08.14.09)
23. End Muslim racism and plans for destruction of Israel!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.14.09)
...and then MAYBE we'll tell IF we have any Nuclear options.
24. When Pigs Fly
Ham   (08.14.09)
Israel will tell all when everyone else tells all. What a bunch of dumbasses to even think that anyone is going to give up anything other than what is in plain sight.
25. Sure, in return for end of Arab dictatorships
JPS ,   Efrat   (08.14.09)
The cowardly dictators and their lieutenants who rule with iron fists over 300 million Arabs still afraid of little democratic Israel. The more they have to suppress their own people, the more they try and use Israel as a distraction.
26. Amr Moussa doesn't recognize Israel, supports Hamas
(08.14.09)
If the Arab countries recognize Israel and teach that Jews are real people, you might get Israel to lower her security, until then.
27. "David, New England"
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.14.09)
Give an impostor a PC with a keyboard and he will soon find that he can post any kind of rubbish on the net without accountability. But don't worry "David" - we are used to toy-agitators like yourself. Your pathetic "wit" is just as smelly as your pompous pseudo self reighteousness. Scram back to your Mosque or local Anarchist get-together.
28. #19, GEE! Lisa, you never fail NOT to surprise me!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.14.09)
And yes, there is a logic behind everything you said! The answer is in YOUR OWN POST. But let me spell it out for you: If for example, 35 y/o Mohammad wants to murder 5 y/o Bobby, isn't Bobby entitled to seek any means to protect himself? Do you find "fair" and "logical" that in his racist arrogance and impertinence Mohammad DEMANDS to know what Bobby is ready to do to preserve his life? But I guess you do find that "fair" and "logical" - there are no surprises coming from you "Lisa" - just the same old Islamo-Leftist propaganda and disinformation under a new alias! SO BORING!
29. #21 Israel does NOT need as many Nukes as what may think!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.14.09)

Dimona is Willy Woka's textile factory For years the official story was it was a textile factory. I have seen photographs of the place and outside saying Dimona Textile Factory.
