June 09, 2010 — Israel's estimated Nuclear Arsenal:
2 Nuclear research Centres at Soreo and Dimona,
118 Plutonium Warheads
Developing Jericho 3: Range 5000km,

those wacky jews at it again
isreal is so bad!

"While the West focuses on Iran, Israel's nuclear program goes unchecked."

Out to you posting these things. So informative clips that makes me afraid of who Israel really are and what they are capable to do to the rest of us.

This is quite the interesting video. It really has no new information and is just a re-hash of information already known. It has the feel of a propaganda video, and given its source I would have to go with my gut. However, that bit at the end about Israel having to have some western backing is a serious understatement. It is naive to think that Israel does not have access to most of our nuclear knowledge. That being said I still think that Israel is only acting the way any country country would act if in the same situation.

I'd bet they have nuclear devices already in cities all over the world, hidden in vacant apartments- no need for missile delivery systems.

It's part of their threat to destroy the world if Israel goes down, if only in name or government.

Thats who needs the sanctions on them .. By what right should isreal be allowed possession of nuclear weapons ? Why are they exempt from the npt ? And yet the u.s and isreal both complain, condemn and via the u.n sanction countries that want to harness nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.. Gotta love western hypocrisy...

Israel If they wanted to, could have laid waste to the entire region. they haven't nuked anyone yet. Yet you believe Iran would be more trust worthy of having War Heads.
That makes no sense. Iran will have no problem using WMD's on Israel, and in fact want too. While Israel has shown restraint with Iran... I'm surprised they haven't launched a couple ICBM's their way, by now. If somebody wanted to kill you, would you wait until they are armed... or would you take them out in a preemptive strike?

Pre-positioning nuclear devices in the manner you're describing isn't a very practical plan for a variety of reasons...I'll touch on the biggest ones in passing:

1) Command and control...or, in layman's terms, making sure that the devices don't initiate until you want them to, while making sure that they do initiate when you want them to. The sort of clandestine, distributed network this plan would create is probably the 'worst possible case' for your command structure.

2) Maintenance. Believe it or not, nuclear weapons are fairly maintenance-intensive devices, and even when well maintained, they have a 'shelf life', requiring periodic refurbishment or replacement (that is, in fact, a worry with the US nuclear arsenal currently. A lot of our devices are nearing their 'expiration dates'). Spreading your warheads out in advance makes an already complex maintenance situation orders of magnitude worse.

3) Site security. Assuming you did place a nuclear device in a vacant apartment, how do you make certain it's not discovered? How do you keep random (or not-so-random) people away from your device? One squatter, homeless person, prospective renter, building inspector, fire marshal, or would-be thief could blow the cover on your entire operation.

4) Site integrity. Perhaps a subset of point 3 above. What happens if your vacant building catches fire, floods, or gets involved in any of the surprisingly common things that can severely damage or destroy buildings at random?

I'd also be interested in any evidence you have for the idea that Israel has plans to 'destroy the world if Israel goes down'. I have lots of problems with the IDF, particularly where command and control are concerned, but that sort of thinking doesn't fit with their history. I might believe they'd do a laydown on Gaza, Syria, or even Iran on the way out, but not the entire world.
