Giant Flying Nuclear Negroes
I agree with the military and intelligence grownups who call an Israeli attack on Iran insane. But once you accept that and move your thoughts beyond sanity, virtually all things are possible.

Israel, under Netanyahu's leadership, seems to want to drive a dynamic in which it demonstrates its power by compelling the president to attack Iran on its behalf. This is neither in Israel's real interests -- nor America's.

Over the past 50 years, every American president has refused to publicly recognize the fact of Israel's nuclear arsenal. On Super Bowl Sunday President Obama kept the tradition intact.

It is curious that the most powerful man in the world representing the most powerful military in the world who accepted the Nobel Peace Prize defending "just" wars has "no say" over $4 billion annual military aid to Israel.

A war with Iran would end any possibility of Israel ever achieving either peace with the Muslim world or any semblance of security. Forever.

If Iran is indeed trying to produce nuclear weapons -- and it has good reasons for wanting them -- why has it taken so long?

Not much this administration has done in the Middle East should give Israelis confidence that they can rely on their feckless friends in Washington to support them when push comes to shove.

Israel's substantial contributions to U.S. interests are an underappreciated aspect of this relationship and deserve equal billing to shared values and historical responsibility as rationales for American support of Israel.

Israel has been a net beneficiary of its policy of nuclear ambiguity, but whether Israel will be able to maintain a balance between its security and foreign policy objectives remains to be seen.

Jewish ingenuity helped create the weapon that is now the greatest threat to our survival. We did not endure 6,000 years to be annihilated by our own invention.

There is indeed a threat of nuclear terrorism against Israel and the US. The best way to defuse this threat would be a negotiated and fair settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

It goes without saying that Israel should be prepared to defend herself against all external military threats. She is a country that understands the ...

There is a real danger that if Iran had nuclear weapons capability it could transfer that to other groups. But the particular threat that Israel is talking up -- that of a conventional nuclear strike from Iran -- is overblown.

While Israel pretends not to have the nuclear bomb, Iran says its not making one, while Israel continues to displace Palestinians, Iran continues to imprison opposition.

If the Israeli nuclear program grew out of fear of its neighbors and the conviction that the Holocaust justified any measures Israel took to ensure its survival, from where does Iran's justification come?
Harold Pollack | Posted 05.25.2011
I submit that Israel should offer a grand bargain to Iran and other Middle Eastern states. Israel should say: We will give up our nukes, verifiably, if you do the same, verifiably.
