I would rather Israel have them than Iran.

The US having them is most troubling of all. What country on Earth since the British Empire has launched more aggressive wars?

After all, the HARDCORE orthodox Jews in Israel, who are multiplying faster even than the Palestinians, are just about as politico-religiously out there as the Ayatollahs, and will have waaaaaaaaay more seats in the Knesset in 20 or 30 years.

But Israel's special so they can do whatever they want to anyone and it's all in the name of freedom, right?
Israel has never threatened to wipe Iran off the face of the earth, nor have they ever used "the bomb". Iran's government has stated repeatedly they want to destroy Israel.

Israel is more justified to have nuclear weapons than pretty much any other country on earth.

Yeah, steal a bunch of land and then keep stealing more and you can have Earth-destroying weapons.

If you want to call what they did stealing land, that's fine, then pretty much every country on earth also stole land at one point or another. At least in Israel's case, at one point in time the land was theirs.

Yeah, two thousand years ago. One day, when a native comes to your house and demands you give it up to him, since his ancestors lived there once, surely you'll comply gladly.

You are missing my point. Almost all countries have done questionable things in regaurds to taking over land a conquering different groups of people. You choose to focus on Israel for reasons I don't understand. If you should be made at anyone over the formation of Israel you should be mad at the UN and the UK. Like many other people you choose to apply different standards to Israel than you do to every other county, that is why people call you anti-Semitic.

Hm, I wasn't aware that my parents' house in Massachusetts or my apartment in Guangzhou was occupied by anyone two thousand years prior to my arrival...
