Osirak. Israel was criticized even by the Reagan administration (especially Bush/Baker) for the 81 bombing
Scud damage in 91 Gulf war. Israel was told not to go after Iraq even though Patriot missiles failed to defeat the scud attack
Diplomacy is a subtle game. Israel was criticized for blowing up Osirak, but only mildly -- by the US, and even by the other Arab states. Interest trumps ethnicity, and none of Iraq's Arab neighbors wanted Iraq to build a nuke. Remember that, at least in part, the current War on Terror is rooted in the US effort to defend the Saudis against the Iraqis.
