Considering Israel is the only country in that area with a nuclear arsenal, and in light of the fact that you are stating that they would use those weapons against their non nuclear capable neighbours, I say that Israel should be disarmed of ALL nuclear capabilities since they have the potential to become a rogue state.
Even if you see Israel's actions in its conflict with the Palestinians in the worse possible light, its most sinister goal would only be to take over West Bank and Gaza. Radical Islamism, on the other hand, has the ultimate goal of turning the world into one big repressive caliphate. It really is an expansionist fascist ideology. So even if you see Israel in the worst possible light, in terms of world security and safety, when push comes to shove, you'd probably want Israel to have nuclear weapons because if the Middle East and Africa do go the way of radical Islam, we could be facing another ideological war as we did the last time fascism spread to various countries. I don't think it will come to that. I think the Arab people will turn on Islamism in favour of democracy and freedom, but just in case, it's good we have an ally that is democratic and strong in Israel. Also, since it is this, you know it will not use nuclear weapons unless it absolutely has to. With fascists such as the Iranian leader, for example, you have no way of predicting if and when they'lll use them other than it won't be for self defense.
It is time to question the sanity of all. If we are afraid the Muslims will launch the
war of hate and use any method to kill all the Jews and we consider them to be
justified or sane we have a problem within ourselves. if we think anyone using the
Bomb again for any reason we have to a problem within mankind itself.
The west has made a blunder though, we endorsed an Arab Spring to rise against
brutal dictators and overthrow their government. We may well have gone from
brutal dictators to insane mad men who could begin the tyranny of international
war and even civil wars withing countries.
I would like to know the difference between brutal dictators, and insane religious
brutal dictators? Is there any way of calculating a serious difference?
All this celebration about ending the war in Iraq and so on. No one understands
yet we are going to be back in there within a decade fighting a much bigger war
with much bigger weapons on a much broader scale. Just before WWII Prime
Minister Chamberlain came home from Germany, with a single piece of paper with
Hitlers signature, and the PM proclaimed peace in our time.
Within six months the world was totally engulfed in war around the globe.
I supported the Arab Spring. But when I saw the victory of the Brotherhood in Egypt, I have to admit, I wondered if I was wrong in doing so and feared what you fear. But I think in the longrun, the majority of Arab people will choose progress and jobs and innovation and hope when they have democracy over fascism and Islamism. And then, just as with Canada or other western democracies, they'll move towards more awareness and change in terms of racism, and human rights, equality for women, etc. And really, I just can't ethically support a dictatorship, no matter how much easier it is to maintain "stability" in the region. We're in for a few rough and worrisome years,The Arab Spring was about change, and movement. Dictatorships are about avoiding change, holding it back through repression. I think, as Churchill said, when going through hell, keep going. With democracy, Arab people have the chance to keep going through hell and get to the other side of it.
