And who isn't going nuclear for energy these days? Look at China...France....

-- You are absolutely correct BG. But China and France both have had Nukes for decades and have never threatened to use them on their on their neighbors.
Perhaps Iran wouldn't run into the resisitance it is seeing if they weren't promising the certain demise of Israel.
Roachboy, with all due respect, your argument will only have a point if/when Israel threatens to use nukes on the Palestinians.
If you want to change this thread to the non-nuclear policies of Israel, fine, but you are changing the topic of the thread none the less.
If you are going to argue that Israel shouldn't have nukes because of the Palestinians, then you are going to have to make the same arguement for China due to Tibet and the treatment of it's own people, Russia due to Georgia, Chechnya and others, and even the US due to its invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Otherwise it is selective outrage.
