Nuclear Israel

The following is a short article published in the New York Post on MAy 14th:


RENEGADE RATTLES ISRAELI NUKE PROGRAM


I would have provided a link, but the article was pretty short, so I just pasted it here for convenience. So what are your thoughts?

For more on the Israeli (and other) nuclear weapons programs see
High Energy Weapons Archive The Israel give a brief story of Vanunu.

I have an extremely pro-Israel co-worker who claims that the whole Mordechai Vanunu whistle blowing may be an Israeli plot to let the world know while maintaining deniability.

Is there an opinion on this or have you become our newsman for the day?

I didn’t know it was supposed to be a secret that Israel had nukes. Hasn’t that been common knowledge for a while now?

Better that Israel has the nukes than Iran or Syria…

(had to start a debate :smiley: )

Well, our plagiarizing newsman for the day, apparently.
