Clearly, the notion of a strategic 'self-defense' weapon is nonsense.
The proposition that "mutually assured destruction" deters war, isn't defensible.
Nuclear weapons and delivery systems are exclusively 'offensive' in nature, and if you are going to make the claim that other countries like Iran and others are 'threatening' because of their development of such weapons, then you can't deny the same 'threat' is being carried out by your own government.
This is about money. The military industrial complex, as it has manifested itself in Israel, is no different from any other. War (or the 'threat' of war) = Profits. Just asks the bankers.

Amadhinejad would like to attack Israel with a nuclear weapon for 3 main reasons
1.he hates Israel and the Jews who live there
2.he believes that any Jews killed in an attack will end up in Hell,and any Iranians killed in any retaliatory attack will go straight to islamic paradise
3.he believes that any such conflagration will result in the appearance of the Mahdi,the so called muslim messiah who will win the world for islam
all in all a dangerous cocktail for the region to deal with.

As a sovereign nation that's not a signatory to any inspection treaties Israel has no legal or moral obligations to open its nuclear weapon program or facilities to the UN, which is basically anti-Israel and a den of thieves and spies.
But I would challenge you online to answer one simple question directly; does Israel have a right to exist as a Jewish nation with secure borders recognized by all its Arab and Persian neighbors, yes or no?

That's terrible. You don't think nuclear weapons should be owned by anybody.
Some may think that computers shouldn't be owned by anybody either, as they stunt intellectual growth.
Or cars, because they kill so many people each year. Every four years, cars kill more people than both atomic bombs together killed.
Some may thing that electricity should be eradicated. Every year, folks are electrocuted.
Get serious. Once the genie is out of the bottle, wishing won't get that little bitch back in.
Borders recognized internationally (1948) or borders illegally acquired using military means ?
