Duh. Ya think the very intelligent, industrious, competent, threatened Jews in Israel don’t have Chemical Weapons (the poor-man’s nuke) when everyone knows they have real nukes?
Stupid question.
Reminds me of the old Tom Leher song on nuclear proliferation...
“egypts going to want one too...just to drop on you know who” Who’s next...

I’m sure they do.
The big question is do they have small tactical nukes and thermonuclear warheads.
Hard to develop without testing.
He will not. In the current situation Israel standing as a silent “ally”.
Does Israel have nukes too?
They’ve been pretty coy about that question....
Is there a civil war inside Israel, in which the government is at least ACCUSED of using chemical weapons on civilians and has the U.S. threatened to attack it to “send a message”?
To which the government itself has suggested it voluntarily turn over its weapons stock to international surpervision?
If so, I must have missed it.
You see, these situations ARE NOT COMPARABLE IN ANY WAY.
The U.S. has chemical weapons too.
Just sayin’...
What if the Israelis do have chem weapons? They also have nukes.
The difference is that they’re not untamed rabid suicidal homicidal death cult hyenas like everyone else in a 700 mile radius from Jerusalem.
I believe Israel and Myanmar are the only countries that have signed but not ratified the Chemical Weapons treaty. A very shrewd move on the part of Putin.
Hope this makes your day
BTW.. I got to see Lehrer in person a few times in the 60's..he'd come down to play some of the clubs in Greenwhich Villiage on weekends
I wished we still did testing. I don’t trust the computer modeling as a replacement.
Pretty much every major Nation has chemical weapons. Of course they do.
WE have chemical weapons. Everyone does. It is only a matter of WHO has the morals and ethical stand to lead the world.
WHO is trustworthy, based on their society- to not damage innocent people or steal God given freedoms?
And at the moment, the US is not the good guy. We should not even be talking about WHO has the right to chemical weapons, because based on Oh BOMB ya’s drone attacks and unethical treatment of our military, and aiding terrorists in other countries- DO we have any moral ground?
No. Does Israel- nope. Not after siding with Obama.
Choose this day who you will serve.
Does ‘Raid” count?
BINGO
Putin is running circles around obama making him look the assclown moron he really is
no....seriously? Someone who has a gig writing for Foreign Policy magazine actually ASKED that question???
“Hard to develop without testing.”
The South Africans new when the spotter satellites (can’t recall their names now) were overhead. They set off the tests in the far south Atlantic. If a satellite caught the flash, or recorded a neutrino burst, there was nothing there when it went over. Everybody probably attributed any readings to noise.
I don’t think the southern oceans are expected areas for nuclear blasts. So, any number could have been set off over the decades and nobody would be the wiser.
Ours is a citizens army in a democracy. They would have keep training people in how to use these things. They would have to store them. That means thousands of soldiers would know about them and someone would squawk on the Internet. Beyond that Israel is very sensitive to the idea of people being killed by gas. We set the world’s record in WWII for victims.
