I have previously said that Israel was under no obligation (when being hit by Hezbollah rockets) to respond proportionally, which the UN harped that Israel wasn't doing. Why should they have to respond proportionally?
Secondly, why does the U.S. seem to always call the shots for Israel? Are they not an independent nation? If they want to defend themselves against Syria (which they have in bombing a nuclear facility) and Iraq (the same) and Iran, then are they free to do so?
Nevertheless, it would be best if Syria, Isreal, Iran, etc, etc let go of chemical and nuclear weapons. If not, this will continue to be a thorn in the ME that will continue to fester.
Just me two cents...

The Putin-offered Obama deal raised this specter.
The Kerry gaffe laid the foundation...

Re giving them up — good luck with that.

Israel can take all the pressure this piss ant little President has to give. She knows that her final option of delivering all those fricking Muslims to their Allah is in her hands if she needs it.
The rest of the world can suck it.

Israel is the LAST people on the planet who should be asked to disarm themselves.

The problem with your analysis is that Israel would be disarming itself with no assurance any other Middle East country would comply.

Do I honestly think that any of them - Syria, Iran, Israel - will give up any chem weapons? IMHO, nope.
Will Israel, Iran, Pakistan, etc, gice up their nuke programs?
IMHO, nope.

Do I honmestly think that Israel, Syria, Iran, etc, will give up any/all chem weapons?
IMHO, nope.
What about Iran, Israel, Pakistan, etc on nuke program?
IMHO, nope.

To destroy Israel with unconventional weapons is to destroy the Dome of the Rock.
If Islam is willing to destroy its second most religious facility, then I would guess Mecca and Qom is in play.

I agree nobody's going to give up anything. But what the Putin deal can do is take chemical weapons off the table for both sides. The rebels can't use them and blame Syria. Syria can't use them if they don't have them, or are claiming they don't have them.
Why can't the whole world just rise up and say we're sick of war?

I have no doubt that Israel will relinquish some of their tactical nuclear weapons... at a time and target of their own choosing.

No!
I hope Israel stands fast and keep all their weapons.
Only a liberal or a fool (but I repeat myself) would believe disarming Israel would make the Middle East a safer place.

“If Syria must get rid of its chemical weapons, the reasoning goes, why can’t Israel do the same?”
Reasoning? There’s no reasoning there.
To: Laissez-faire capitalist
fock that, Israel needs all the weaponry it can get, why would they give up nuclear while Iran develops theirs?
How about hell no, nuclear and chemical won’t go

Israel must and will retain the capability to deter enemies and defend itself against vastly larger forces.
