The only nation in the middle east with a nuclear weapons program is Israel. Why not destroy that one? It's objectively more of a threat to the region than Iran's.

Put simply: they have it.

One of the unfair truths of nuclear geopolitics is the power asymmetry between nuclear and non-nuclear states. (And the collective interest of the former in nuclear NIMBYism.)


Yes, I guess if all of your neighbors want to kill Jews, then having Jews there is quite the threat!

The amount of jews killed by Israels neighbours is statistically insignificant compared to the amount of gentiles killed by Israel.

Jewish lives are not worth more than other peoples.


>The amount of jews killed by Israels neighbours is statistically insignificant

it's not for lack of trying
